How to write Chinese quotes in Bookdown

Question

I had tested in bookdown template, and found that “”, which is Chinese quotes, would be translated to ``,''。 But if you write “” in a block or other begin,end blocks, the Chinese quotes, “”, would not be translated to ``,''。So you will get different Chinese quotes, in the final pdf file. Can I set in some place to turn off such translation? Thank you.

Answer 1

I use another method.

% 解决双引号不一致的问题。
\newcommand\cqh{“} % chinese quote head
\newcommand\cqt{”} % chinese quote tail

or add space after ``''. The solution is not very good. I add md_extensions: -smart make no sense.

For English, `` '' works very well, but In Chinese, it becomes ugly. Hope pandoc become good enough.
