Swedish in lang-ger.tex

[Stefan Karlsson]

Hi Hans,

Some weeks ago, before I found this discussion forum, I sent you a mail about
Swedish conventions in ConTeXt. Simce I see that no changes have been made
in "lang-ger.tex" I repeat my comments here:

\installlanguage
  [\s!sv]
  [\c!spatiering=\v!opelkaar,
   \c!leftsentence=---,
   \c!rightsentence=---,
   \c!leftsubsentence=---,
   \c!rightsubsentence=---,
   
%  \c!leftquote=\upperleftsinglesixquote,
   \c!leftquote=\upperrightsingleninequote,
   
   \c!rightquote=\upperrightsingleninequote,
   
%  \c!leftquotation=\upperleftdoublesixquote,
   \c!leftquotation=\upperrightdoubleninequote,
   
   \c!rightquotation=\upperrightdoubleninequote,
   
%  \c!datum={\v!jaar,\ ,\v!maand,\ ,\v!dag},
   \c!datum={\v!dag,\ ,\v!maand,\ ,\v!jaar},
   
   \c!status=\v!stop]
   
As you can see "leftquote", "leftquotation" and "datum" ought to be changed.
Also, in the Swedish language the symbol represented by "---" doesn't exist;
we only use "-" and "--". So I guess "leftsentence", "rightsentence", etc.
should be changed too.


Regards

actually, i did change it a while ago; but it probably went unnoticed 
because the beta link was wrong

Now it looks ok.

Well, in the generated text is should be "--" with a space before and after. In
my _opinion_ the spaces should be unbreakable.

But this would make TeX life impossible. In French, too, some thinks 
spaces before and after ``---'' should be unbreakble but it is not 
possible (and in French typography ``---'' floats freely).

a reasonable alternative is:

text --<nonbreakable space>hyphenatable text<nonbreakable space>-- text

[when you use |<|.....|>| you get that behavior, and also handling of 
nested ones]
