I'd like to do the text

"conservative"

with the quotation marks into a \texttt. However, when I do so, the first quotation mark is removed. I'm using the LNCS documentclass, I'm not sure if this has something to do with it. I also can't escape the first ", then it puts two dots above the c, which is wrong.

    1. Please add a minimal working example (MWE). \documentclass{llncs} \begin{document} \texttt{"conservative"} \end{document} does it here. 2. \" is not escaping. – Qrrbrbirlbel Dec 9 '12 at 22:59
  • For the record, the problem seems to have been fixed, at least with TeX Live 2016 and llncs.cls 2015/06/24 v2.20. – lhf Jan 10 '17 at 9:38

this is a bit of a plain-tex hack, but it'll get you what you want.

\texttt{\char`\"}

you might want to make this into a command:

\newcommand*{\ditto}{\texttt{\char`\"}}

  • @LLNCS You probably can avoid hacks; why didn't you provide a MWE? – egreg Dec 10 '12 at 13:34

A bit simpler: \texttt{"{}conservative"{}}
