Hi Ikumi, thank you for taking care of this.
I wonder what other people's opinions would be about turning *off* raw-quotes
highlighting by default (is it on by default?) – or maybe eliminating it
altogether. There would be several reason for this:
– Quirks with apostrophes used in math mode, as the present bug showed; and also the
complexity of distinguishing a genitive apostrophe ("the students' books") from
a closing quote mark in a single-quote style, which often occurs in British writings for
example.
– Quirks with multi-paragraph quotes, when one uses the quotation style that
repeats the opening quotes (but not the closing quotes) at each paragraph.
– Syntactically it's best to introduce quotations with an appropriate macro, eg
\enquote{} from the csquotes package, which also automatically takes care of
quotation styles like the ones mentioned above.
Just some thoughts.
Cheers,
Luca

I think the behavior of the above item 1 is a bug. When f-l-e-r-b-q
cannot find a matching opening quote, it should just give up to extend
the region anymore.
After reconsideration, I realized that such giving up is not appropriate
when that unmatched close quote has, in front of it, other open-close
quote pairs. Examples:
abc ``def ghi'' jkl $y''=x^{2}$
abc <<def ghi>> jkl $y''=x^{2}$
So the correct way is to continue searching backwards another close
quote, I think. The revised patch is attached. I'll install it soon.
