            Bug ID: 133524
           Summary: Add double angle quote («, ») autocorrection, where
                    "Single/Double quotes AutoCorrect" locale settings
                    don't support it
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 3.3.0 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

AutoCorrect settings of several languages prefer apostrophe replacement instead
of second level quotation marks » and «, see Writer (or MS Word) and

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quotation_mark#Summary_table

Apostrophe, also second level quotation marks needs for writing, but keyboards
and recent AutoCorrect facilities don't support both. A suggested solution to
give

1. AutoCorrect character sequences ">>" and "<<" to » and «.

2. and in the case of unique, not alternative second level quotation marks,
context-dependent replacement of ", i.e. checking preceding opening quotes to
choose the correct quotation marks. A Hungarian or Romanian example: „Sentence
with primary and »second level« quotes.” would be possible to type using only
", while "Single quotes" AutoCorrect is used for typographic apostrophes.
