I have a very stubborn professor who requires italicized quotes.

So I have a document full of quotes, labeled with \enquote{}. How can I easily change all of them to be in italic ?

I couldn't find anything in the documentation or anywhere else...

\documentclass[12pt, a4paper, oneside]{book}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{lmodern}
\usepackage[french]{babel}
\usepackage[autostyle]{csquotes}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\usepackage{times}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\usepackage[singletitle=true, isbn=false, backend=biber, bibencoding=utf8, style=verbose-trad2, citestyle=verbose-trad2]{biblatex} 
\usepackage{tocloft}
\usepackage[xindy]{imakeidx}
\usepackage[toc, acronym, xindy]{glossaries}
\usepackage{setspace}

\begin{document}

I like trains, so does my mom. She said : \enquote{I like trains !} 

\end{document}

I could just add \textit inside \enquote (I think), but I have hundreds of quotes,...

You could change the french style. But be aware that \enquote could e.g. be used in the bibliography.

\documentclass[12pt, a4paper, oneside]{book}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{lmodern}
\usepackage[french]{babel}
\usepackage[autostyle]{csquotes}
\DeclareQuoteStyle[quotes]{french}
  {\itshape\mkfrenchopenquote{\guillemotleft}}
  {\mkfrenchclosequote{\guillemotright}}
  {\itshape\textquotedblleft}
  {\textquotedblright}
\begin{document}

I like trains, so does my mom. She said : \enquote{I like trains !} clclc

\end{document}

Does this suit you?

\documentclass[12pt, a4paper, oneside]{book}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{lmodern}
\usepackage[french]{babel}
\usepackage[autostyle]{csquotes}
% erased not relevant packages
\newcommand*{\myenquote}[1]{\enquote{{\itshape#1}}}
\begin{document}
   I like trains, so does my mom. She said: \myenquote{I like trains !}
\end{document}

And just replace all enquote occurances with myenquote in your doc (be careful not to change the first one at the preamble!).

Try this:

\documentclass[12pt, a4paper, oneside]{book}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{lmodern}
\usepackage[french]{babel}
\usepackage[autostyle]{csquotes}
% erased not relevant packages
\let\oldenquote\enquote
\renewcommand{\enquote}[1]{{\itshape\oldenquote{#1}}}
\begin{document}
   I like trains, so does my mom. She said: \enquote{I like trains !}
\end{document}

  • This gives a italic closing quote but an upright opening quote. – Ulrike Fischer Nov 29 '15 at 17:40
  • @UlrikeFischer, I see. This was my first step in world of csquotes, so I wasn't enough careful about languages differences. Thank you for point. – Zarko Nov 29 '15 at 17:54
  • @UlrikeFischer , actually I forgot to activatet franch babel. Doing this, I receive the same result as you in your answer. – Zarko Nov 29 '15 at 18:07
  • No, I didn't complain about the type of the quote sign, but the italic/upright mix. Look closely at the opening guillemets: Yours is upright as the \itshape is inserted after the quote sign, but the closing guillemets is slanted. – Ulrike Fischer Nov 29 '15 at 18:18
  • I'm really novice and clumsy in this csquotes .... I'm now correct my answer again (just interchanging order of commands) , hopefully this time will be correct. Thank you very much for pointing to weakness of my first solution. – Zarko Nov 29 '15 at 18:28

might be a little late to the party but 

\usepackage[autostyle]{csquotes}

\let\itenquote\enquote
\renewcommand*{\enquote}[1]{\itenquote{{\itshape#1}}}

did the trick just fine for me
