how to avoid emacs' replacing quotation marks in French

When you use babel with French (set by, \usepackage[francais]{babel} emacs replaces automatically quotations marks (") by \og and \fg (you need only to restart emacs after adding babel).

It could be quite cool. But I'm using csquotes package which allows to have the good quotation marks by simply writing ". 

\usepackage[babel]{csquotes}
\MakeOuterQuote{"}

So this amazing feature of emacs (the automatic replacement of " by \og or \fg) is useless for me and even painful.

How do I remove it?

It seems it is the font-latex-quotes variable which manage this. But options are only French (<< >>) or German (>> <<). I would like to redefine this variable to consider "test" as quote with test in color.

Solution

  • I fixed this issue by modifying the variables LaTeX-csquotes-open-quote and LaTeX-csquotes-close-quote.

    I define the first variable as \enquote{ and the second as }.
