Add alternative language in YAML Header Markdown

Add alternative language in YAML Header Markdown

['Marek Stepanek' via pandoc-discuss]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 690 bytes --]

Hello all,

once again a naive question: how I define two languages in my YAML-Headers: 

Not working:

lang: RU-ru,de
lang: "RU-ru,de"
lang: {RU-ru,de}

I am using Pandoc > Markdown > LaTeX > PDF

I need to include Cyrillic citations in my document. 

Greetings to all 


marek

[John MacFarlane]

Use 'lang' for your main document language.

Then, if you need to use a different language at some point
in the document, use a span

    [this in English]{lang=en}

You should get appropriate output in some formats, e.g. LaTeX.

Thank you John again for your answer. Unfortunately it is not so easy. In 
any case the Cyrillic alphabet needs some more tweaks: 

For people, looking for a solution: I am writing in Markdown, compiling 
with pandoc over LaTeX to pdf, without a template. Things you need for 
LaTeX-headers you have to insert in the Markdown Doc in YAML format 
separated on top and at the end by three hyphens: ---

I removed from my YAML headers in the markdown document 

lang: de

And then some more definitions are needed for LaTeX inserted in the same 
md-Doc in YAML-Format:

header-includes:
- \usepackage[T1,T2A]{fontenc}
- \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
- \usepackage[english,french,russian,main=german]{babel}

Hope this helps some people out here. 

Thx again for the amazing pandoc tool.

Unfortunately my receipt is hindering LaTeX to render bold fonts. Probably 
I am missing something.

Re: Add alternative language in YAML Header Markdown

[John MacFarlane]

You don't have to do this manually if you do as I suggest.
For example the document

```
---
lang: de
...

[hi there]{lang=ru}
```

will generate this in your LaTeX preamble, using the default template:

\ifxetex
  % Load polyglossia as late as possible: uses bidi with RTL langages (e.g. Hebrew, Arabic)
  \usepackage{polyglossia}
  \setmainlanguage[]{german}
  \setotherlanguage[]{russian}
\else
  \usepackage[russian,main=ngerman]{babel}
% get rid of language-specific shorthands (see #6817):
\let\LanguageShortHands\languageshorthands
\def\languageshorthands#1{}
  \newcommand{\textrussian}[2][]{\foreignlanguage{russian}{#2}}
  \newenvironment{russian}[2][]{\begin{otherlanguage}{russian}}{\end{otherlanguage}}
\fi

So adding the babel commands should be unnecessary.
Be sure to use --pdf-engine=xelatex or lualatex.
Then you also shouldn't need the fontenc and inputenc lines.

(I'm assuming your version of pandoc is relatively up to date.)

Thank you John for your patience!

I never used xelatex. But it seems to work. Only one little problem: there 
is apparently a difference between Cyrillic in a Footnote, which I insert 
directly in my MD-Doc as \footnote{[Михаил Моисеевич Бонгард]{lang=ru}} or 
in the text itself: [Михаил Моисеевич Бонгард]{lang=ru}

I need help again to define a font, containing more unicode characters as 
is used in pandoc > xelatex > pdf: 

I get the following error:

Error producing PDF.
! Package polyglossia Error: The current latin font latinmodern-math.otf(3) 
doe
s not contain the "Cyrillic" script!
(polyglossia)                Please define \cyrillicfont with 
\newfontfamily co
mmand.

See the polyglossia package documentation for explanation.
Type  H <return>  for immediate help.
 ...

l.143 Моисеевич Бонгард}

Putting it in a footnote I get a different error, but the same reason - the 
font:

[WARNING] Missing character: There is no М (U+041C) in font 
[lmroman10-regular]:mapping=tex-text;!
... etc

Could you help me again? How to define a \cyrillicfont with \newfontfamily 
(in my YAML Headers header-includes?)?

Best greetings

marek

Do you enter foonotes as \footnote{text text text} in markdown itself? 
^[text text text] would be safer.

You could try first compiling with a font that *has* cyrillic (e.g. 
Libertinus) to check that the document works.

Defining cyrillic fonts is a polyglossia / fontspec issue:
https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/318394/sans-monospace-font-for-otherlanguage
 Cf also 
https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/539296/overleafs-polyglossia-package-with-cyrillic-fonts

So I would try something like:
---
header-includes: |
  \newfontfamily{\cyrillicfont}{Libertinus Serif}
  \newfontfamily{\cyrillicfontsf}{Libertinus Sans}
--- 

Or this:
---
header-includes: |
  \newfontfamily{\cyrillicfont}{Libertinus Serif}[Script=Cyrillic]
  \newfontfamily{\cyrillicfontsf}{Libertinus Sans}[Script=Cyrillic]
--- 

But as mentioned in 
https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/318394/sans-monospace-font-for-otherlanguage 
this might still not work if the default language is not a cyrillic script 
language.

Don't use raw tex to insert a footnote.  Use pandoc's markdown
syntax:

^[[Михаил Моисеевич Бонгард]{lang=ru}]

or

[^1]

[^1]: [Михаил Моисеевич Бонгард]{lang=ru}

Set mainfont in your metadata to a system font that has Cyrillic characters.

AW: Add alternative language in YAML Header Markdown

[denis.maier-FfwAq0itz3ofv37vnLkPlQ]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 4391 bytes --]

Just a side note: The current template seems to use polyglossia with xelatex and lualatex. Recentish versions of babel have much improved multiscript support. One particularly interesting feature is that you don't necessarily need to tag words in other scripts, but babel seems to be able to rely on rnicode ranges for that. That might not work in every case, but it could be handy in a lot of cases.

See, e.g. https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/579813

Best,
Denis
