Re: Hyphenation pattern for Esperanto

[Tomas Hala <tomas.hala@mendelu.cz>]

Hi Alain,

in my email, I used official language codes: be=Belarussian, bg=Bulgarian, sr=Serbian.

The \installlanguage command is very important because it contains
definitions of the most frequently used typographic elements of the 
given language, for details see below.

Looking forward for both lang-txt files. The sooner you will send it, the better.

The best,

Tomáš

#    Hi Tomáš,

#    Thanks for your message.

#    First which country is "be"? If Belgium, pay attention that there are
#    three languages: Dutch (Flemish) French (a little bit different from
#    France French) and German (1% of the population).
# 
#    Could you explain me the meaning of:

Values for \installlanguage:

* spacing: packed means no difference between interword and intersentence spaces.
* (left|right)sentence: punctuation marks -- very often dashes -- for included parts in some sentences.
* (left|right)quotation: definition of primary quotation marks. 
* (left|right)quote: definition of secondary (nested) quotation marks.
* (left|right)hyphenmin: number of characters at the end of a line and at the beginning of the next line when the word is hyphenated.
* date: how the date should be typically typeset: order, spacing, or other signs or abbreviation or texts.

Those I do not know for eo, have been marked with a percent sign.

#    I have seen that the \lowerleftdoubleninequote,... are sometimes given by
#    the character itself “ ”,...
#    For the date, is it the order of the part of the date yyy mm dd?
# 
#    I did prepare the file lang-txt.lua and did send it to two friends for
#    checking, I wait for their answer (I hope not to long).
# 
#    I also have the pattern for hyphenation, the one from TeXLive uses
#    fonctions to shorten the length of the file.
# 
#    For French, I'll do it and send it to you.
# 
#    Thanks for taking care of this.
# 
#      Regards,
# 
#    Alain
