I am currently using quotmark with guillemots (standard Italian), but I would like to switch to "alternate" way to represent direct speech, which is (IMHO) much nicer.



  • direct speech starts with em-dash.


  • if direct speech is the full paragraph then there is no closing quotes (Joyce style).


  • if there is a trailing non-direct-speech in paragraph (e.g.: "No", said Tom.) then a closing em-dash is required.

  • inner (recursive) direct-speech should be represented by inverted quotes (something like: --- Tom said "no", but seemed unconvinced --- commented Ted.)

These are the general rules for Italian "alternate", I also need to represent some special speech which I currently render using "maiuscoletto" (scshape), but result is not completely satisfactory when combined with other effects (e.g.: tqtscshape Esatto. Sono beginbfseriesIOendbfseries che mando avanti la selezione naturale. Se beginbfseriesIOendbfseries non collaboro la selezione si ferma, per un po' languisce e poi beginitshapetorna indietroenditshape!) as setting other fonts apparently clears "maiuscoletto".



Is there some package implementing something like the above?
I was not able to find anything comparable (without extensive rewriting).
