Without either of them this +package probably wouldn't exist. + +\section{New} +\begin{description} + \item[v0.1a] The command \cs{RenewEmph} has been renamed into + \cs{ChangeEmph} and a new slightly different \cs{RenewEmph} has been added. + \item[v0.2] Improved interaction with \pkg{biblatex}. + \item[v0.3] Added support for \pkg*{fontspec}'s \cs{textsi}. + \item[v0.5] Don't replace brackets in math mode. + \item[v0.6] Added support for \cs{textsl}. + \item[v0.7] Added support for symbols with a catcode other than~12. +\end{description} + +\section{About}\label{sec:about} +\begin{cnltxquote}[{\cite[85]{bringhurst04}}] + Parentheses and brackets are not letters, and it makes little sense to speak + of them as roman or italic. There are vertical parentheses and sloped ones, + and the parentheses on italic fonts are almost always sloped, but vertical + parentheses are generally to be preferred. That means they must come from + the roman font, and may need extra spacing when used with italic + letterforms. + + The sloped square brackets usually found on italic fonts are, if anything, + even less useful than sloped parentheses. If, perish the thought, there + were a book or film entitled \emph*{The View from My [sic] Bed}, sloped + brackets might be useful as a way of indicating that the brackets and their + contents are actually part of the title. Otherwise, vertical brackets + should be used, no matter whether the text is roman or italic: + \textquote{The View from My \emph{[sic]} Bed} and \textquote{\emph{the view + from my [sic] bed}.\kern.05em} +\end{cnltxquote} + +\noindent +Both this quote from~\citetitle{bringhurst04} by Robert Bringhurst and the +article \citetitle{dtk12-dw} by Dominik Waßenhoven~\cite{dtk12-dw} inspired +this package. Indeed, \embrac\ heavily borrows from the code +\citeauthor{dtk12-dw} provided in his article\manythanks. The code was +originally provided by Bruno Le~Floch\manythanks\ answering a question on +\href{http://tex.stackexchange.com}{TeX.sx}~\cite{lefloch11}. + +\embrac\ tries to redefine \cs{emph}, \cs{textit} and +\cs{textsl}\added{0.6}{\cs{textsl}} in a way that neither parentheses nor +square brackets are sloped. In an ideal world you of course wouldn't need +this package because the italic font you're using would have vertical +parentheses and brackets by itself. + +\begin{example} + \emph{This is emphasized [sic] text.} \par + \emph{This is emphasized text (as you can see).} +\end{example} + +\section{How it Works} +The commands \cs{emph}, \cs{textit} and \cs{textsl} are redefined: +\begin{commands} + \command{emph}[\sarg\marg{emphasized text}] + Emphasizing text. + \command{textit}[\sarg\marg{text in italics}] + Italicizing text, + \command{textsl}[\sarg\marg{slanted text}] + Slanting text, + \command{textsi}[\sarg\marg{text in italic small caps}] + This command is only defined and thus redefined if you loaded + \pkg{fontspec}, \ie, if you're compiling your document with \XeLaTeX{} or + \LuaLaTeX. +\end{commands} +They now have a \sarg\ argument that restores the original behaviour. +Otherwise they're used just as before. + +Let's see the example again: +\begin{example} + \emph{This is emphasized [sic] text.} \par + \emph{This is emphasized text (as you can see).} +\end{example} +As you can see you don't have to do anything apart from loading \embrac\ in +your preamble. Well -- that's actually not entirely true. You have to take +care of the kerning of the parentheses and brackets. Otherwise things could +look worse with \embrac\ than without. + +The following example demonstrates one point why you have to be very careful +when using \embrac. Certain parenthesis-letter combinations might need +adjustments of the kerning: +\begin{example} + \emph{This is (just) emphasized text.} \par + \emph{This is (\kern.1em just) emphasized text.} +\end{example} +This of course strongly depends on the font you've chosen. Kerning is a very +important aspect when using this package and you shouldn't use it without +giving it a certain amount of attention. See the next section for more +details. + +\section{Adding More Brackets \&\ Adjusting the Kerning} +If you want you can change the behaviour of \embrac. Maybe it should only +affect squared brackets? Or curly braces, too? This can be done with the +following commands. They all work locally which means if used inside a group +outside of it everything stays what it was. +\begin{commands} + \command{AddEmph}[\marg{o}\Oarg{\meta{io-kern},\meta{oo-kern}}% + \marg{c}\Oarg{\meta{ic-kern},\meta{oc-kern}}] + Add a pair of brackets to be left upright in italic text. + \command{ChangeEmph}[\marg{o}\Oarg{\meta{io-kern},\meta{oo-kern}}% + \marg{c}\Oarg{\meta{ic-kern},\meta{oc-kern}}] + Change the kerning values for a given pair of brackets. + \command{RenewEmph}[\marg{o}\Oarg{\meta{io-kern},\meta{oo-kern}}% + \marg{c}\Oarg{\meta{ic-kern},\meta{oc-kern}}] + Renew the kerning values for a given pair of brackets. See below for the + difference to \cs{ChangeEmph}. + \command{DeleteEmph}[\marg{o}\marg{c}] + Remove a pair of brackets from treatment. +\end{commands} +In the above descriptions \meta{o} means \emph{opening bracket} and \meta{c} +means \emph{closing bracket}. The kerning arguments are all four optional and +require -- if given -- to be a length. If they're not given \cs{AddEmph} and +\cs{RenewEmph} insert \code{0pt} and \cs{ChangeEmph} uses the value stored by +\cs{AddEmph} or \cs{RenewEmph} before. + +\sinceversion{0.4}To each of these commands there are two variants that are +only semantically different\footnote{They're also using different lists + internally but you shouldn't concern yourself with this.}. They are all +called \cs*{\meta{base}OpEmph} or \cs*{\meta{base}ClEmph} where \meta{base} is +either \code{Add}, \code{Change}, \code{Renew} or \code{Delete}. Their +arguments are all the same: the half of what the main commands have for either +modifying the opening or the closing symbols. +\begin{commands} + \command{AddOpEmph}[\marg{o}\Oarg{\meta{io-kern},\meta{oo-kern}}] + An an opening bracket to the treatment. + \command{AddClEmph}[\marg{c}\Oarg{\meta{ic-kern},\meta{oc-kern}}] + An a closing bracket to the treatment. +\end{commands} +They allow you to add single symbols to \embrac's mechanism instead of adding +pairs. + +In all these commands the optional argument \meta{io-kern} is inserted after +the opening bracket (inner opening), \meta{oo-kern} is inserted before it +(outer opening). \meta{ic-kern} is inserted before the closing bracket (inner +closing), \meta{oc-kern} after it (outer closing). + +\embrac\ initially makes these definitions: +\begin{sourcecode} + % add some defaults: + \AddEmph{[}{]}[.04em,-.12em] + \AddEmph{(}[-.04em]{)}[,-.15em] +\end{sourcecode} + +This document however uses ``Linux Libertine +O''\footnote{\url{http://www.linuxlibertine.org/}} both for the roman and the +italic font and redefines them in this way (still not sure these are the best +values): +\begin{sourcecode} + \RenewEmph{[}[-0.045em,.02em]{]}[.055em,-.09em] + \ChangeEmph{(}[-.01em,.04em]{)}[.04em,-.05em] +\end{sourcecode} + +You can change them as you wish, but be careful with the kerning! What's too +less for one letter might be too much for others: +\begin{example} + \ChangeEmph{(}[.1em]{)}[.1em] + \emph{This is (just) emphasized text.} \par % looks OK, kind of + \emph{This is emphasized text (as you can see).} % looks bad +\end{example} + +To see why it is important to pay attention to the kerning values let's look +at how \embrac's features look without kerning (\ie, \code{0pt} for each +value), with the default settings and with the settings for this document: + +\begin{center} + \begin{minipage}{.5\linewidth} + \textbf{No Kerning:} + + \RenewEmph{[}{]}\RenewEmph{(}{)} + \emph{This is emphasized [sic] text.} \\ + \emph{This is emphasized text [as you can see].} \\ + \emph{This is emphasized (sic) text.} \\ + \emph{This is emphasized text (as you can see).} + \end{minipage}\bigskip + + \begin{minipage}{.5\linewidth} + \textbf{\embrac's Default Kerning:} + + \RenewEmph{[}{]}[.04em,-.12em]\RenewEmph{(}[-.04em]{)}[,-.15em] + \emph{This is emphasized [sic] text.} \\ + \emph{This is emphasized text [as you can see].} \\ + \emph{This is emphasized (sic) text.} \\ + \emph{This is emphasized text (as you can see).} + \end{minipage}\bigskip + + \begin{minipage}{.5\linewidth} + \textbf{Adjusted Kerning:} + + \emph{This is emphasized [sic] text.} \\ + \emph{This is emphasized text [as you can see].} \\ + \emph{This is emphasized (sic) text.} \\ + \emph{This is emphasized text (as you can see).} + \end{minipage} +\end{center} + +Deleting a pair removes it completely from \embrac's mechanism. All +information about the pair and its kerning values will be lost. So if you +want the effects to be temporary use grouping. +\begin{example} + \DeleteEmph{[}{]} + \emph{This is emphasized [sic] text.} \par + \emph{This is emphasized text (as you can see).} +\end{example} + +By the way: this packages provides a simple file +\code{embrac\_kerning\_test.tex} for testing kerning values. You should find +it in the same directory as this documentation. + + +\section{biblatex Compatibility} +This is \embrac's only package option: +\begin{options} + \keychoice{biblatex}{\default{true},on,parens,false,off,none}\Default{false} + If set to \code{true} (or one of its aliases) parentheses and squared + brackets as defined by \pkg{biblatex} with \cs{bibleftparen}, + \cs{bibrightparen}, \cs{bibleftbracket} and \cs{bibrightbracket} are + treated the same way (if not removed from the treatment with \cs{DeleteEmph}). + + The command \cs*{blx@imc@mkbibemph} is patched to use the original definition + of \cs{emph}. +\end{options} + +\begin{example} + % this document uses \usepackage[biblatex]{embrac} + \emph{Let's cite Bringhurst again:~\cite{bringhurst04}}. +\end{example} + +\section{Turn \embrac\ Temporarily Off} +Redefining \cs{emph}, \cs{textit} and \cs{textsl} is not without danger. +Sometimes you might find that you'd want to keep the original definition for a +small portion of your document. You can use the following commands whose +functions are obvious, I guess: +\begin{commands} + \command{EmbracOff} + Turn \embrac's treatment off. + \command{EmbracOn} + Turn \embrac's treatment on. +\end{commands} +Both commands are local. + +\section{Watch out!} +Please be aware that \embrac\ does not affect \cs{itshape} nor \cs{em} (nor +\cs{it} which you shouldn't use in a \LaTeX{} document, anyway). +\begin{example} + \itshape This is italic [sic] text. +\end{example} + +\end{document} |
