+
+1. The Codepage and Sort Order (CS) File
+-----------------------------------------
+
+The Codepage and Sort definition (CS) file is used to define the 8-bit
+character set used by BibTeX and the order in which those characters should
+be sorted.
+
+NOTE: this file contains many 8-bit characters and may cause problems
+ if you try to display or print it on 7-bit systems (e.g. older
+ versions of Unix).
+
+
+ 1.1 CS file syntax
+ ------------------
+
+ The codepage and sorting order (CS) file defines how BibTeX will treat an
+ 8-bit character set, specifically which characters are to be treated as
+ letters, the upper/lower case relationships between characters, and the
+ sorting order of characters.
+
+ The CS file may contain a number of sections, each presented in the form
+ of a TeX macro:
+
+ \section-name{
+ <section definitions>
+ }
+
+ Four sections are currently supported: \lowupcase, \lowercase, \uppercase
+ and \order. The syntax of the four supported sections is summarised
+ below.
+
+ 8-bit characters may be entered naturally, but to avoid problems with
+ character set translation or corruption, they can also be entered using
+ the TeX-style portable notation for character codes, i.e. ^^XX, where XX
+ is the hexadecimal value ofthe character code.
+
+ Reading of the sections ends when the first '}' character is reached, so
+ '}' can't be included in a section. You can, however, use ^^7d instead.
+
+ The percent sign ('%') is used to introduce a trailing comment - it and
+ all remaining characters on a line are ignored. If you need to insert a
+ percent character, you can use ^^25 instead.
+
+
+ \lowupcase section
+
+ The \lowupcase section of the CS file is used to define the lower
+ /upper and upper/lower case relationship of pairs of specified
+ characters. It is only used if the relationship is symmetrical - use
+ \lowercase or \upcase if it isn't.
+
+ The syntax of the \lowupcase section is:
+
+ \lowupcase{
+ <LC-1> <UC-1> % Comment begins with a percent sign
+ <LC-2> <UC-2>
+ ...
+ <LC-N> <UC-N>
+ }
+
+ Each <LC-n> <UC-n> pair of characters defines that the upper case
+ equivalent of <LC-n> is <UC-n> *and* the lower case equivalent of
+ <UC-n> is <LC-n>.
+
+ You cannot redefine the lower or upper case equivalent of an ASCII
+ character (code < 128), so all instances of <LC-n> and <UC-n> (i.e.
+ both sides of the relationship) must have codes > 127.
+
+
+ \lowercase section
+
+ The \lowercase section of the CS file is used to define the lower
+ case equivalent of specified characters. It should normally only be
+ used if the relationship isn't symmetrical - use \lowupcase if it is.
+
+ The syntax of the \lowercase section is:
+
+ \lowercase{
+ <UC-1> <LC-1> % Comment begins with a percent sign
+ <UC-2> <LC-2>
+ ...
+ <UC-N> <LC-N>
+ }
+
+ Each <LC-n> <UC-n> pair of characters defines that the lower case
+ equivalent of <UC-n> is <LC-n>.
+
+ You cannot redefine the lower case equivalent of an ASCII character
+ (code < 128), so all instances of <UC-n> (i.e. the left hand side of
+ the relationship) must have codes > 127.
+
+
+ \uppercase section
+
+ The \uppercase section of the CS file is used to define the upper
+ case equivalent of specified characters. It should normally only be
+ used if the relationship isn't symmetrical - use \lowupcase if it is.
+
+ The syntax of the \uppercase section is:
+
+ \uppercase{
+ <LC-1> <UC-1> % Comment begins with a percent sign
+ <LC-2> <UC-2>
+ ...
+ <LC-N> <UC-N>
+ }
+
+ Each <LC-n> <UC-n> pair of characters defines that the upper case
+ case equivalent of <LC-n> is <UC-n>.
+
+ You cannot redefine the upper case equivalent of an ASCII character
+ (code < 128), so all instances of <LC-n> (i.e. the left hand side of
+ the relationship) must have codes > 127.
+
+
+ \order section
+
+ The \order section of the CS file is used to define the order in
+ which characters are sorted.
+
+ The syntax of the \order section is:
+
+ \order{
+ <char-1> % Comment begins with a percent sign
+ <char-2> <char-3> % whitespace between the chars
+ <char-4> - <char-5> % a hyphen between the chars
+ <char-4> _ <char-5> % an underscore between the chars
+ ...
+ <char-n>
+ }
+
+ All characters on the same line are given the same sorting weight.
+
+ The construct <char-1> <underscore> <char-2> is used to denote that
+ all characters in the range <char-1> to <char-2> should be given the
+ same sorting weight. For example, "A _ Z" would cause all ASCII
+ upper case alphabetical characters to have the same sorting weight
+ and would be equivalent to placing all 26 characters on the same
+ line.
+
+ The construct <char-1> <hyphen> <char-2> is used to denote that all
+ characters in the range <char-1> to <char-2> should be given an
+ ascending set of sorting weights, starting with <char-1> and ending
+ with <char-2>. For example, "A - Z" would cause all upper case ASCII
+ alphabetical characters to be sorted in ascending order and would be
+ equivalent to placing 'A' on the first line, 'B' on the second,
+ through to 'Z' on the 26th line.
+
+ The characters at the beginning of the order section are given a
+ lower sorting weight than characters occuring later. When sorting
+ alphabetically, characters with the lowest weight come first.
+
+ All characters not in the \order section (including ASCII characters)
+ are given the same very high sorting weight to ensure that they come
+ last when sorting alphabetically.
+
+
+ 1.2 Testing a CS file
+ ---------------------
+
+ If you create a CS, you'll want a straightforward way of testing that
+ BibTeX is interpreting it as you expect it to. The --debug=csf option
+ will report the results of parsing the CS file. Specifically, BibTeX
+ will report:
+
+ o characters with codes > 127 that it has defined as type ALPHA
+ o characters with upper case equivalents
+ o characters with lower case equivalents
+ o characters in ascending sorting order
+
+ An example of the output when processing the cp437lat.csf CS file is
+ shown below. This output will only make sense if you are using a
+ computer that supports the IBM codepage 437.
+
+ D-CSF: c8read_csf: trying to open CS file `cp437lat.csf' ...

+
+ 1.3 Sharing your CS file
+ ------------------------
+
+ Although we have provided a limited number of CS files, we hope that
+ other will soon produce different examples for other character sets and
+ national sorting orders. We will also be happy to accept corrections to
+ the example files supplied.
+
+ If you'd like to contribute a CS file, please send it to one of the
+ authors or upload it to one of the CTAN FTP archives. If you e-mail a
+ copy please ZIP and encode (UU/MIME) it so that we can be confident that
+ the file has not become corrupted in transit.
