Using R Markdown/Pandoc. A given file like this:
--- author: me title: me output: pdf_document: latex_engine: xelatex bibliography: bib.bib --- Paragraph @devers_2011
with a bib file with this entry that has a quote in the title for example:
@article{devers_2011, title={"I know how to do the play now": A Part of Willy Loman in Synecdoche, New York}, author={Devers, Rebecca}, journal={The Arthur Miller Journal}, volume={6}, number={2}, year={2011}, publisher={The Arthur Miller Society} }
xelatex will render the citation with three closing quotation marks and a single opening one:
Anonymous
Fixed by using backticks in the title. (I don't know how to set status close.)
