I'm using sublime text 3 with latexing plugin on ubuntu, and i have a weird error on every color scheme i use, specially with double quote.

enter image description here

Only the solarized theme seems to work, other theme have the same weird bug on coloring.

I'm using this configuration : 

\documentclass[a4paper, 11pt,twoside, openright]{memoir}
\usepackage{polyglossia}
\setdefaultlanguage{french}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\usepackage[usenames,dvipsnames]{xcolor}
\usepackage[autostyle=true,french=guillemets,maxlevel=3]{csquotes}
\usepackage{xparse}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage[protrusion=true]{microtype}

    This is not an error, it is intended: the coloring is the one for "invalid" pieces of code. In your case you are using " instead of the typographically correct '' and `` for open and closed quotes. – Bordaigorl Mar 21 '14 at 9:36
  • I try with '' and i have the same color :/ – reyman64 Mar 21 '14 at 9:42

Quotation marks in LaTeX are not simply entered by typing ". Depending on the language you may need different symbols for opening/closing quotes. In English for example it is common to use ``my quotation''. This is why the highlighting is marking your quotes as invalid code: the character " should not be used that way in correct LaTeX.

For internationalised quotes you may be interested in the csquotes and babel package.

  • I'm writing in french, so i use already csquote (see my update). Ok for correct latex in english, but correct latex in french is same ? i need to use this notation ``my quotation'' ? – reyman64 Mar 21 '14 at 9:54
  • The most flexible solution would be using \enquote{my quotation} which is a command of csquotes. See the documentation. A less flexible solution is using unicode characters «my quote». The point here is that in any case you should not use ". – Bordaigorl Mar 21 '14 at 9:59
  • Ok :/ There is no way to force csquote to automatically replace ''text"" by the correct french quote at compilation ? – reyman64 Mar 21 '14 at 10:29
  • I try with this, without success, i have an error at compilation ... \MakeAutoQuote{``}{''} – reyman64 Mar 21 '14 at 10:58
  • You should post a new question with this problem than. The original question has been answered I think (if you think so you should mark this as an answer) – Bordaigorl Mar 21 '14 at 11:50
