Hello everybody,
I am new to this forum and only started using Scrivener for Windows a few days ago. I am writing in German and hope you can help me with a problem. I have set Chevrons like »direct speech« for direct speech in the settings. When I switch on the dialogue focus function, this unfortunately only works partially. If I write a direct speech followed by a comma and an accompanying sentence, the accompanying sentence is also recognised as direct speech. Example:
»Can someone please help me with this?«, I asked the group.
=> , I asked the group is erroneously also recognised as direct speech.
»If I leave out the comma« it works.
==> it works is no longer recognised as direct speech
However, the rule in the German language is that a comma must be used. If I delete the comma, the accompanying sentence is no longer recognised as direct speech. Am I doing something wrong or is the function simply not designed for the German language?
Thanks a lot and best regards,
Ingmar
