ShowStringCharacters

ShowStringCharacters
is an option for Cell which specifies whether to display " when a string is entered.
  • ShowStringCharacters is usually set at the level of styles or notebooks rather than at the level of individual cells.
By default, quotation marks are shown around strings in input cells, but not in output cells:
In[1]:=
Click for copyable input
Out[1]=
Create a cell in "Output" style but with quotation marks showing:
In[2]:=
Click for copyable input
Out[2]=
 
Show a grid of characters without quotation marks:
In[1]:=
Click for copyable input
