| Quotes
| ======
| 
| Text in quotation marks is displayed with the face
| `font-latex-string-face'.  Besides the various forms of opening and
| closing double and single quotation marks so-called guillemets (<<, >>)
| can be used for quoting.  Because there are two styles of using
| them--French style: << text >>; German style: >>text<<--you can
| customize the variable `font-latex-quotes' to tell font-latex which
| type you are using.
| 
|  -- User Option: font-latex-quotes
|      Set the value to `german' if you are using >>German quotes<< and to
|      `french' if you are using << French quotes >>.  font-latex will
|      recognize the different ways these quotes can be given in your
|      source code, i.e. (`"<', `">'), (`<<', `>>') and the respective
|      8-bit variants.
