UVA 272 Tex Quotes
TeX is a typesetting language developed by Donald Knuth. It takes source text together with a few typesetting instructions and produces, one hopes, a beautiful document. Beautiful documents use and " to delimit quotations, rather than the mundane " which is what is provided by most keyboards. Keyboards typically do not have an oriented double-quote, but they do have a left-single-quote ` and a right-single-quote '. Check your keyboard now to locate the left-single-quote key ` (sometimes called the
backquote key”) and the right-single-quote key ’ (sometimes called the apostrophe" or just
quote”). Be careful not to confuse the left-single-quote ` with the backslash" key \. TeX lets the user type two left-single-quotes
to create a left-double-quote and two right-single-quotes '' to create a right-double-quote ''. Most typists, however, are accustomed to delimiting their quotations with the un-oriented double-quote ".
To be or not to be,” quoth the bard,
If the source contained
"To be or not to be," quoth the bard, "that is the question."
then the typeset document produced by TeX would not contain the desired form:
that is the question."
To be or not to be,” quoth the bard,
In order to produce the desired form, the source file must contain the sequence:
that is the question.''
if the ” opens a quotation and by ” if the ” closes a quotation. Notice that the question of nested quotations does not arise: The first ” must be replaced by
You are to write a program which converts text containing double-quote (") characters into text that is identical except that double-quotes have been replaced by the two-character sequences required by TeX for delimiting quotations with oriented double-quotes. The double-quote (") characters should be replaced appropriately by either, the next by '', the next by
, the next by ”, the next by “, the next by ”, and so on.
Input
Input will consist of several lines of text containing an even number of double-quote (“) characters. Input is ended with an end-of-file character.
Output
The text must be output exactly as it was input except that:
the first ” in each pair is replaced by two ` characters: “ and
the second ” in each pair is replaced by two ’ characters: ”.
Sample Input
“To be or not to be,” quoth the Bard, “that is the question”. The programming contestant replied: “I must disagree. To C' or not to
C’, that is The Question!”
Sample Output
To be or not to be,'' quoth the Bard,
that is the question”. The programming contestant replied: `I must disagree. To
C’ or not to `C’, that is The Question!”
