If you have WWW + access, you can search the LaTeX bugs database using this URL: + + http://www.latex-project.org/bugs.html + + * The error is not caused by software other than the Babel software + that is produced and maintained by me (please report problems with + other software to the authors or suppliers of that software). + + * The error is not caused by using an obsolete version of any file or + of other software. + + * You are using the original version of all files, not one that has + been modified elsewhere. + +If you think you have found a genuine bug in a recent version of the +Babel software please report it in the same way as bugs for LaTeX2e +are reported: + + * Prepare a *short* test file that clearly demonstrates your + problem; see below for a discussion of `short'. + + * Run this file through latex to obtain the transcript file + (often .log) since you will need to submit this file also. + + * Generate a bug report template by running the file + latexbug.tex through LaTeX2e. + + * Fill in the spaces in the generated template file. Please note that + the reporting language is *English* irregardless of the fact, that + the address you are sending the bug report to, might not be in an + English speaking country. Reports received in a language other than + English might not be understandable for the person currently + looking at bug reports! + + * Include all necessary information, especially a complete input + file, a complete transcript file, and all other files used (if they + are not standard). + + Please check carefully to ensure that any non-standard files are + essential to the bug; and remember that I cannot debug files not + supplied by me. + + Any such non-standard files should be included in a `filecontents' + environment at the start of your input file. This allows me to + run your test file without a lot of manual preparation; this is + essential since we have to deal with many reports, not just with + the one written by you. + + * Please note that it is important to make the input file as small + as possible since this will enable me to find and fix the error + quickly. It also helps me because then I can often use it as test + file for future releases. + + I would expect most files to be less than 60 lines, and very + rarely to be longer than 100 lines. + + This can often be achieved by defining a command to be some + arbitrary text and using this several times if it is necessary to + generate longer bits of text. + +Error reports concerning UNCHANGED versions of Babel files should be +sent by E-mail to: + + latex-bugs@latex-project.org + +You will receive an acknowledgement by E-mail containing at the +beginning of its subject line a problem reference of the form +category/number, e.g. babel/1234. Please use this subject line in ALL +further E-mails concerning the problem. Otherwise your reply will be +categorized and filed separately. + +--- Copyright 2004 Johannes Braams.
