% \section{Introduction}
% This document introduces the \textsf{thalie} package, used to typeset drama
% plays.
%
% \subsection{Other classes and packages}
% This package is far from being the only one that can be used to render drama
% plays. If you do not like my work, you can use one of the following ones (and
% I guess there exists others):
% |drama| \cite{drama},
% |dramatist| \cite{dramatist},
% |play| \cite{play},
% |screenplay| \cite{screenplay},
% |sides| \cite{sides}.
%
% I began to write this package in 2010, and now, at the end of 2012, I must
% admit that I wonder why I started this\ldots There are already several such
% packages in
% \textsc{ctan}\footnote{\url{http://www.ctan.org/topic/drama-script}}, and the
% |dramatist| package seems really nice (I borrowed some ideas and copied some
% code from it). There are actually a few improvements in my package compared
% to |dramatist|: in my package, plays, acts and scenes appear in the table of
% contents; it is possible to include several plays in a single document; there
% are more options when building the dramatis person\ae{}; headers and footers
% are taken into account, etc. But these improvements are small; it might have
% been smarter to contribute to |dramatist| instead of starting my own package.
% The good part is that I have a package that fits my needs, and I learned how
% to write a \LaTeX{} package.
%
% Oh, yes! I know why I started this: I am a geek\ldots

% conditions of the \LaTeX Project Public License, either version 1.3
% of this license or (at your option) any later version.
%
% Further information can be found in the |.dtx| file used to build this

%
% In short (but this paragraph has no legal value), you can use this package
% freely to render your drama plays, and modify it almost freely. Nevertheless,
% if you like my work, you can invite me to the performance of the play you
% typeset using my package\footnote{You will not take a big risk, since there
% is little chance I travel half the world to see a play. But if by chance I
% can attend it, it would make me really happy.}.
%
% \subsection{Acknowledgements}
% I borrowed ideas and lines of code from the \LaTeX{} packages
% |drama|\cite{drama} and |dramatist|\cite{dramatist}.
%
% I used the following guides to package my package: \emph{How to Package Your
% \LaTeX{} Package} \cite{dtxtut}, and \emph{\LaTeXe{} for class and package
% writers} \cite{clsguide}.
%
% \subsection{Examples}
%
% Most of the examples are taken from Edmond Rostand's \emph{Cyrano de Bergerac}
% \cite{cyrano} or from William Shakespeare's \emph{A Midsummer Night's Dream}
% \cite{midsummer}. The snippets of \emph{Cyrano de Bergerac} are from the
% original (French) version of this play, roughly translated by myself (which
% means that they must be of poor quality).
%
% \subsection{Overview}
% Installation instruction are given in section \ref{sec:install}.
% Documentation about how to use this package is given in section
% \ref{sec:usage}. In particular, section \ref{sec:sectioning} explains how to
% use acts and scenes, sections \ref{sec:dramatis} and \ref{sec:characters} explains how to define
% characters, and use these definitions to introduce characters' lines, and
% section \ref{sec:directions} describes commands used to render stage
% directions. At last, specific instruction about how to use this package with
% a language other than English (or a non-latin alphabet) are given in section
% \ref{sec:i18n}. Examples are given in section \ref{sec:examples}.
%
% Implementation is given in section \ref{sec:implementation}.
%
% \section{Download and Install}
% \label{sec:install}
%
%
% \subsection{\textsc{Gnu}/Linux Distribution}
%
% If applicable, the easiest way to get |thalie| working is by installing it by your distribution package. With Debian (and Ubuntu, and surely other distributions that inherit from Debian), simply run: 
%
% \begin{quote}
% |sudo apt-get install texlive-humanities|
% \end{quote}
%
% \subsection{\LaTeX{} distribution}
%
% This package is included both in \TeX{}Live and MiK\TeX{}. It can be installed by their respective package managers.
%
% \subsection{Manual installation}
%
% \begin{itemize}
% \item Download the lastest archive :
% \begin{description}
% \item[Stable version] \url{http://mirrors.ctan.org/install/macros/latex/contrib/thalie.tds.zip}
% \item[Development version] \url{https://framagit.org/spalax/thalie/repository/archive.zip?ref=master}
% \end{description}

% \section{Usage}
% \label{sec:usage}
%
% \subsection{Localization}
% \changes{v0.9a}{2017/04/22}{Add section \emph{Localization}.}
%
% By default, commands \lstinline|\act|, \lstinline|\scene|, etc. use English words, but they are
% translated to the current language used by |babel| or
% |polyglossia|\footnote{Given that someone provided the translation. Right
% now, the only available languages are English, French, and German.}. More information
% is given in section \ref{sec:l10n}.
%
% \subsection{Package options}
% \label{sec:options}
%
% Package options are summed up in table \ref{table:packageoptions}.
%
% Note that any package option can be redefined anywhere in the document. This
% makes it possible to have several plays collected in a single document, while
% applying different styles or options to each play. See section
% \ref{sec:redefine} for more detail.

% \end{table}
%
% \subsubsection{Space following character commands}
% \changes{v0.7}{2015/12/28}{New package option \texttt{xspace}.}
% As commands introducing characters' lines and displaying characters' names
% may be frequently used, it might be tempting to omit the following \lstinline|{}| For
% instance, one might prefer to write:
% \iffalse
%<*example>
% \fi
% \begin{lstlisting}
\cyrano Indeed, \cyranoname is my name!
\end{lstlisting}
% \iffalse
%</example>
% \fi
% instead of:
% \iffalse
%<*example>
% \fi
% \begin{lstlisting}
\cyrano{} Indeed, \cyranoname{} is my name!
\end{lstlisting}
% \iffalse
%</example>
% \fi
%
% If package option |xspace| is set (e.g. |xspace=true|), space is automatically
% added after those commands if necessary\footnote{This is done with
% the |$\backslash$xspace| command (from the |xspace| package), hence the name.};
% otherwise, it is not.
%
% For historical reasons, the option |xspace| default is |true|, but this might
% change in some later non-backward compatible version.
%
% \subsubsection{Style}
% The way characters' lines are displayed, as well as play, act and scene
% titles, can be set when loading the options.
% To set character style, use option |characterstyle=|\meta{style}. Available
% styles, and indication to use a custom one, are described in section
% \ref{sec:lines}.
%
% Several play, act and scene title styles are defined. Choose it using options
% |playstyle|=\meta{style}, |actstyle|=\meta{style} and
% |scenestyle|=\meta{style}. Description of available styles, and how to define
% your own one, are described in section \ref{sec:sectionstyles}.
%
% \subsubsection{Sectioning levels}
% If you use a table of contents, or if you also use ``usual'' sectioning
% commands (\lstinline|\chapter|, \lstinline|\section| and so on), the relative importance of
% plays, acts and scenes is important. You can set this using options
% |playlevel=|\meta{level}, |actlevel=|\meta{level} and
% |scenelevel=|\meta{level}. The argument is the name of the corresponding
% sectioning level, i.e. one of |part|, |chapter|, |section|, |subsection|,
% |subsubsection|, |paragraph| and |subparagraph|.
%
% Setting the interlude level is slightly different. While setting it using
% |interludelevel=|\meta{level}, instead of choosing one of \LaTeX{} vanilla
% sectioning levels as the level, you may choose |play|, |act| or |scene|. It
% defines if an interlude is at the same level as a play, an act or a scene.
%
% \subsubsection{Redefining options}
% \label{sec:redefine}
% \DescribeMacro{\setthalieoptions}
%
% Packages options can be reset in the document body using command
% \lstinline|\setthalieoptions|\marg{package options}. Its only argument has the same
% syntax as the package options.
%
% For instance, if you are writing a collections of plays, some in prose, some in verses, you might want to write something like the following.
%
% \iffalse
%<*example>
% \fi
% \begin{lstlisting}
\documentclass{book}
...
\usepackage{thalie}
...
\begin{document}
...
\play{First play}
\setthalieoptions{characterstyle=imprimerie-verse}
...
\play{Second play}
\setthalieoptions{characterstyle=impriemie-prose}
...
\end{document}
\end{lstlisting}
% \iffalse
%</example>
% \fi
%
% \subsection{Sectioning}
% \label{sec:sectioning}
% Here begin the parts explicitly relating to drama.
% \subsubsection{Levels}
% \DescribeMacro{\play}
% \DescribeMacro{\play*}
% \DescribeMacro{\act}
% \DescribeMacro{\act*}
% \DescribeMacro{\scene}
% \DescribeMacro{\scene*}
% To introduce a new play, act or scene, use commands \lstinline|\play|, \lstinline|\act| and
% \lstinline|\scene|. Their behaviour is as close as the ``usual'' sectioning commands
% (\lstinline|\chapter|, \lstinline|\section| and so on) as possible, i.e.:
% \begin{itemize}
% \item Their signature is \lstinline|\play|\oarg{short title}\marg{longtitle} (the
% optional short title is the one used in the table of content, and in headers
% and footers).
% \item A starred version (\lstinline|\play*|, \lstinline|\act*| and \lstinline|\scene*|) is provided, which
% inserts a play (or act, or scene) which is not numbered, and does not insert
% any line in the table of content.
% \item Headers and footers are changed (more information in section \ref{sec:header}).
% \end{itemize}
%
% Both commands \lstinline|\act| and \lstinline|\scene| (and their starred versions) are designed to
% deal with empty titles. Indeed, it is common not to give any name to acts and
% scenes.
%
% By default, a play is as deep (regarding to the table of contents) as a
% chapter, an act as a section, and a scene as a subsection. But this can be
% set using package options |playlevel|, |actlevel| and |scenelevel| (see
% packages options, page \pageref{sec:options}). That way, you can use in your
% document plays, acts and scenes as well as chapters, sections and so on. It
% can be useful if you want a foreword, and appendix, etc.
%
% It is not compulsory to use all three commands \lstinline|\play|, \lstinline|\act| and \lstinline|\scene|.
% The rule of thumb is: if only one element exists, skip the corresponding
% command: if your document has a single play, you should ignore \lstinline|\play|; if
% your document has several single act plays, set
% |playlevel=section,scenelevel=subsection| and ignore \lstinline|\act|; etc.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\interlude}
% \DescribeMacro{\interlude*}
% You may want to use interludes, which are acts or scenes which are not
% numbered, but which should appear in the table of content. Command
% \lstinline|\interlude|\oarg{short title}\marg{long title} has this purpose.
%
% You may choose the sectioning level an interlude is equivalent to in the
% package options. If your interludes are acts, use |interludelevel=act|; if
% they are scenes, use |interludelevel=scene|.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\curtain}
% At last, to mark the end of an act or of the play, you can use command
% \lstinline|\curtain|, which prints the word \lstinline|\GetTranslation{Curtain}| in the middle of its
% own line.
%
% \subsubsection{Title styles}
% \label{sec:sectionstyles}
% Several styles are available to render play, act and scene titles. Choose
% them using package options |playstyle|, |actstyle| and |scenestyle|. Default
% is |playstyle=box|, |actstyle=bigcenter|, |scenestyle=center|.
%
% \paragraph{Custom titles}
% Unfortunately, as play, act and scene titles are not considered (by \LaTeX{})
% as usual sections, package
% |titlesec|\footnote{\url{http://www.ctan.org/pkg/titlesec}} cannot be used to
% use alternative section titles. Here is the way to set your own one.
%
% \begin{figure}[p]
% \centering
% \iffalse
%<*example>
% \fi
% \begin{lstlisting}
\newcommand\customact[2]{
  \begin{center}
    \textsc{\GetTranslation{Act} #1}

    #2
  \end{center}
}
\WithSuffix\newcommand\customact*[1]{
  \begin{center}
    #1
  \end{center}
}
\end{lstlisting}
% \iffalse
%</example>
% \fi
% \caption{Example of custom act definition}
% \label{fig:custom}
% \end{figure}
%
% \DescribeMacro{\customplay}
% \DescribeMacro{\customact}
% \DescribeMacro{\customscene}
% When loading the package, use |custom| as the style of the title you want to
% customize (e.g. |actstyle=custom|). Then, commands
% \lstinline|\customact|\marg{counter}\marg{title} and \lstinline|\customact*|\marg{title} will be
% called by this package to render titles. You \emph{must} define them. Figure
% \ref{fig:custom} gives the example of the definition of the |center| style.
%
% The first argument of \lstinline|\customact| is the label of the act being printed
% (that is, \lstinline|\theact| for an act, \lstinline|\theplay| for a play, etc.), its second
% argument is its title. Command \lstinline|\customact*| only has one argument, which is
% the act title.
% 
% \subsubsection{Labels and counters}
%
% \DescribeMacro{\theplay}
% \DescribeMacro{\theact}
% \DescribeMacro{\thescene}
% Using the same tools as \lstinline|\chapter|, \lstinline|\section| and so on, it is possible to
% define the way counters of plays, acts and scenes are displayed. You can do
% this by redefining \lstinline|\theplay|, \lstinline|\theact| and \lstinline|\thescene|. For example, to
% have acts numbered using letters, use \lstinline|\renewcommand{\theact}{\Alph{act}}|.
%
% \subsubsection{Headers and footers}
% \label{sec:header}
%
% \DescribeMacro{\playmark}
% \DescribeMacro{\actmark}
% \DescribeMacro{\scenemark}
% Once again, similar tools as those used by \lstinline|\section| are provided to deal
% with headers and footers. When introducing, a new play, act or % scene,
% respectively, commands \lstinline|\playmark|\marg{label}, \lstinline|\actmark|\marg{label} and
% \lstinline|\scenemark|\marg{label} are called, so that titles can be used in headers
% and footers. If the default behaviour does not suit you (which should be the
% case if you did not choose the default option for |playlevel|, |actlevel| or
% |scenelevel|), you can redefine them.
%
% Examples are given in section \ref{sec:examples:headers}.
%
% \subsection{Dramatis person\ae}
% \label{sec:dramatis}
% This part explains how to build and display the dramatis person\ae{}.
%
% Definition of characters is done in document body.
% As it is possible to have several plays in a single documents (for a
% collection of plays or sketches), it is possible to define several
% dramatis person\ae{}. A new one disables the character commands
% defined by the previous one.
%
% \DescribeEnv{dramatis}
% Definition of characters is done inside the |dramatis| environment. If the
% |hidden| option is given, the dramatis person\ae{} is not printed (its
% only purpose is then to define the character commands).
%
% \begin{quote}
%   \lstinline|\begin{dramatis}|\oarg{hidden}
% \end{quote}
%
% Then, several commands are available to define characters, and organize
% character definitions.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\characterspace}
% Command \lstinline|\characterspace| put some vertical space into the dramatis
% person\ae{}.
%
% \subsubsection{Character definition}
% \paragraph{Basic definition}
% \label{paragraph:basiccharacter}
% 
% \begin{figure}[p]

% \iffalse
%</example>
% \fi
% \caption{Example of character definition}
% \label{fig:character_example}
% \end{figure}
%
% \DescribeMacro{\character}
% To define a character, use command \lstinline|\character|.
% \begin{quote}%
% \lstinline|\character|\oarg{\emph{cmd=}command,\emph{drama=}dramatis,\emph{desc=}description}\marg{name}%
% \end{quote}
% The mandatory argument is the name of the character, as it will appear in each of this character's line. It is later possible to redefine it using command \lstinline|\setcharactername| (see part \ref{setcharactername}). Optional arguments are:
% \begin{description}
% \item[desc] is a description of your character, appearing in the dramatis person\ae{};
% \item[cmd] is the name of the command that will be used to introduce this character's lines in the remaining part of your document;
% \item[drama] is the name of your character, as it will appear in the dramatis person\ae{}. The name of the character (mandatory argument) is used as a default value.
% \end{description}
%
% If \emph{cmd} is defined, this command creates two new commands: |\|\meta{cmd}
% and |\|\meta{cmd}|name|. The
% first one is used to introduce a character's line. The second one prints the
% character's name. An error is raised if a command with any of these two names
% already exists.
%
% An example of the use of this command is given in figure
% \ref{fig:character_example}.
%
% \paragraph{Special character definition}
%
% Although optional arguments are not mandatory, not defining them, or leaving the mandatory argument blank, have special meaning.  The combination are summed up in table \ref{table:character}.

% The following commands can be redefined to make dramatis person\ae look
% different. They do nothing apart from displaying text (no internal
% definition, etc.).
%
% \begin{itemize}
% \item |dramatisenv|: This environment wraps the dramatis person\ae.
% \item \lstinline|\dramatischaracter|\marg{name}\marg{description} Renders the character name and description. It should take care of cases where name or descsription (but not both) is missing.
% \item \lstinline|\dramatischaractername|\marg{name} Renders the character name.
% \item \lstinline|\dramatischaracterdescription|\marg{description} Renders the character description.
% \item Environment |charactergroup|\oarg{width}\marg{description} Renders a group of characters.
% \item \lstinline|\characterspace| Adds a vertical character space.
% \end{itemize}

% Figure \ref{fig:dramatisconversion} illustrates how those commands are used.

% \subsection{Characters}
% \label{sec:characters}
% This part explains how to define characters, and introduce character's lines.
%
% It has been explained that definition of a character in the dramatis
% person\ae{} (previous subsection) also creates commands used to introduce
% lines of characters. For instance, defining a character using
% \lstinline|\character[cmd=cyrano]{Cyrano}| means than Cyrano's lines can now be
% introduced using the following code.
% \iffalse
%<*example>
% \fi
\begin{lstlisting}
\cyrano
No! It's a bit short, young man\ldots
\end{lstlisting}
% \iffalse
%</example>
% \fi
% This would display the name \emph{Cyrano} using the current character style, then
% his line.
%
% \subsubsection{Custom characters}
%
% \paragraph{Disposable character}
% \DescribeMacro{\disposablecharacter}
% One can need to define characters that are used only once (or a few times).
% Command \lstinline|\disposablecharacter| is here to help.
% \begin{quote}\lstinline|\disposablecharacter|\oarg{directions}\marg{name}\end{quote}
% This command, used in the body, introduces a line for character |name|, with optional stage
% directions. It is rendered the same way regular characters are rendered, but
% nothing is added to the dramatis person\ae{}. It is used in figure
% \ref{fig:setcharactername_example}.
%
% This command is also useful to introduce lines of characters in non standard
% ways, for instance if several characters speak at once. See examples in
% section \ref{sec:examples:characterslines}.
%
% \subsubsection{Changing character's name}
% \label{setcharactername}
% \DescribeMacro{\setcharactername}
%
% \begin{figure}[p]
% On the first scenes of Cyrano de Bergerac, the main character (Cyrano) is
% somewhere in a crowd, and only appears as \emph{a voice}. He appears as
% Cyrano in the following verses.
%
% \centering
% \iffalse
%<*example>

% \fi
% \caption{Example of changing the name of a character}
% \label{fig:setcharactername_example}
% \end{figure}
%
% It is possible to change the name that appears to introduce character's lines
% within the text. This can be used, for example, when a character is first
% refered to as \emph{A voice}, until we learn his real identity, which is
% \emph{Cyrano}. An example is given in figure
% \ref{fig:setcharactername_example}.
% \begin{quote}\lstinline|\setcharactername|\marg{command}\marg{name}\end{quote}
%
% This command takes two mandatory arguments. The first one, |command|, is the
% command used to introduce this character's line. The second one is the name
% to display for this character.
%
% \subsubsection{Lines}
% \label{sec:lines}
% To introduce characters' lines, use the commands defined in the character
% definition (see the \lstinline|\character| command, or the example in figure
% \ref{fig:character_example}).
%
% \paragraph{Choose style}
% \changes{v0.6}{2014/06/25}{New character styles \texttt{imprimerie-verse}, \texttt{imprimerie-prose} and \texttt{arden}.}
% Several styles are available, to typeset character's name and lines in
% different ways. Change the style by loading package using option
% |characterstyle=|\marg{style} (available styles are |bold|, |center|,
% |margin|, |simple|, |imprimerie-verse|, |imprimerie-prose|). A few notes:
% \begin{itemize}
% \item Default style is |simple|.
% \item |imprimerie-verse| and |imprimerie-prose| styles are French
% \emph{de facto} standards for typesetting drama plays, respectively in verse
% and in prose, as defined by the \emph{Imprimerie nationale}
% \cite{imprimerienationale}.
% \item |arden| tries to mimick typesetting of the Arden Shakespeare series.
% \item |bold| needs a sans serif font to be defined (it should be done by
% default with latin alphabets, but must be done by hand with languages using
% non latin characters (greek, hindi, etc.)).
% \end{itemize}
%
% \paragraph{Customize style}
% \DescribeMacro{\speakswithoutdirection}
% \DescribeMacro{\speakswithdirection}
% If available styles does not fit your need, you can also define your own one.
% To do so, you can redefine the following commands.
% \begin{quote}
% \lstinline|\speakswithoutdirection|\marg{name}\\
% \lstinline|\speakswithdirection|\marg{name}\marg{direction}
% \end{quote}
% The first one (\lstinline|\speakswithoutdirection|) is invoked to display a character's name
% to introduce its line. It takes one argument, which is the character's line.
% The second one (\lstinline|\speakswithdirection|) is also invoked to display a character's
% name to introduce its line, but it takes a second argument, which is stage
% directions to be printed together with character's name.
%
% See also section \ref{sec:directions} to see other ways to print stage
% directions.
%
% \subsection{Stage directions}
% \label{sec:directions}
% Let us begin with a warning: since we could not figure out a nice command
% name made from ``stage directions'', we used the French word
% \emph{(didascalie)} to build up command names.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\did}
% \DescribeEnv{dida}
% We define two ways to render stage directions: a short one, that is printed
% inline, and a long one, printed in its own paragraph. They act a bit like
% \lstinline|$\formula$| and \lstinline|\[\formula\]| for formulas.
% The first way is the command \lstinline|\did|\marg{directions}. The second way is the
% environment |dida|.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\onstage}
% Some stage directions are displayed centered under the scene or act
% definition (I often see it in classical drama, where the list of characters
% appearing in each scene is displayed that way). Command
% \lstinline|\onstage|\marg{directions} can be used to display such information.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\pause}
% As we often need to mark pauses in theater, we created the command \lstinline|\pause|,
% which is a shortcut for \lstinline|\did{\GetTranslation{Pause}}|.
%
% \subsection{Splitting verses}
%
% When writing verses, it is sometimes useful to split a verse between two
% characters: the first character starts it in its line, and the second one
% finishes it in a second line. Visually, the start of the second line is
% vertically aligned to the end of the first line.

% \danger
% Warning: I do not understand the code behind this feature. I copied-pasted code by David Carlisle\footnote{Originally written as an answer to a StackExchange question: see \url{https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/107727}.} without understanding it. There are probably bugs, but I won't be able to solve them.
% This feature can also be implemented using the \lstinline|\phantom| command (see figure \ref{fig:splitverse-phantom} for an example, page \pageref{fig:splitverse-phantom}).
% It is far less user-friendly, but it also less error prone. Choose wisely…
%
% \DescribeMacro{\pauseverse}
% \DescribeMacro{\resumeverse}
% \DescribeMacro{\adjustverse}
%
% Command \lstinline|\pauseverse|  is used at the end of the verse to be continued,
% while command \lstinline|\resumeverse| is used at the beginning of the continuing
% verse.
% Let us face it: these commands are kind of a hack, and sometimes, the lines
% are not aligned the way one would expect them to. To correct this, command
% \lstinline|\adjustverse|\marg{length} can be used to add an extra (possibly negative)
% space when calling \lstinline|\resumeverse|, to get a correct alignment.
% See figure \ref{fig:splitverse}, page \pageref{fig:splitverse}, for an
% example of those three commands.
%
% When writing a play in verse, one can use a lot of those commands, which can
% be tedious because of their long names. So, defining ``shortcuts'' of those
% commands can be handy, as in the following example.
%
% \iffalse
%<*example>
% \fi
% \begin{lstlisting}
\newcommand{\pv}{\pauseverse}
\newcommand{\rv}{\resumeverse}
\end{lstlisting}
% \iffalse
%</example>
% \fi
%
% This is not done by default, because short command names are a scare ressource
% in \LaTeX, so, defining these commands by default might conflict with other
% packages, while most of |thalie| users will not use them.

%
% If the option for your language does not exist\footnote{You can also send me
% the translation for your language, to improve this package.}, or if you want
% to change the default words used here, you can set your own translation
% using command \lstinline|\DeclareTranslation| (see the |translations| package for more

%
% \subsection{Non-latin alphabets}
%
% This package should work with languages using non-latin alphabets (greek,
% hindi, etc.). However, here are a few remarks.
%
% \begin{itemize}
% \item The |bold| character style (see section \ref{sec:lines}) can only be used if a sans serif font has been defined. For instance, for hindi, you might write in the preamble: \lstinline|\newfontfamily\hindifontsf{Noto Sans Devanagari}|.
