Steps: 1. Check that the angle quotes rule is on in Tools > AutoCorrect > AutoCorrect Options... > Localized Options 2. Make language of paragraph or document French (France) 3. Write two consecutive less-than or greater-than signs followed by a space: << or >> Result: left and right double quotation marks (“ and ”) are used respectively Expected: left- and right-pointing double angle quotation (aka guillemets, « and ») are used respectively, as described in the Help page: https://help.libreoffice.org/24.2/en-US/text/shared/01/06040400.html Note that the rule works as described if the text is in French (Swiss): the single angle quotes are used. Reproduced in recent master build: Version: 24.2.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 19e9fe7c8c89399753ac1730e1c76378b18418bc CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: en-AU (en_AU.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded It's the case since it was implemented for LO 4.2 (tested with linux-64-releases bibisect repo at libreoffice-4.2.0.0.beta1).
Reproducible with: Version: 24.2.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 5e9c8d21874eea8cb5adf2ecab1905295af2308f CPU threads: 16; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 22621; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: es-ES (es_ES); UI: en-US Calc: CL threaded Jumbo Works fine with Spanish(Spain), the replacement doesn't wait for the space. BTW if not followed with a space, there is no substitution.
