Please report bugs to <mtjm@mtjm.eu>. + +This package is published under the GNU General Public License, +version 3 or later with the following exception for LaTeX packages +(based on the exception used in Texinfo's texinfo.tex file): + + As a special exception, when this file is read by TeX when + processing a TeX source document, you may use the result without + restriction. + +Introduction +------------ + +Two packages are contained here -- ``quoted'' providing a single +command to use inline quotes in a specific language, and ``onedash'' +to typeset dashes in a specific style and language. + +Unlike widely used alternatives, the exact appearance of the +characters produced by these packages is specified only in their +options. + +Getting this package +-------------------- + +This package has a website at +``http://mtjm.eu/projects/logical-markup-utils''. + +It is currently available from a Mercurial repository at +``http://hg.mtjm.eu/logical-markup-utils/''. + +Usage of quoted +--------------- + +\usepackage[options]{quoted} + +Supported options are: +- ``american'' (default) +- ``british'' +- ``german'' +- ``polish'' +Their meaning should be obvious. + +Four commands are defined to be used: ``\quoted'' formats its argument +in correct quotes. If it is used inside of the argument, the quotes +are changed to the inner format. If they are chosen incorrectly, the +command ``\inquote'' will change the style to the other one. The +commands ``\lquote'' and ``\rquote'' just typeset the quote marks in +the current style without changing it. + +When not using multi-paragraph quotes, most probably only the +``\quoted'' command will be needed. + +No punctuation is moved in or out of the quotes. + +Usage of onedash +---------------- + +\usepackage[options]{onedash} + +Supported options are: +- ``american'' (default) +- ``british'' +- ``polish'' -- with endash +- ``polish-emdash'' + +The package declares the ``\dash'' command which typesets a dash using +style selected by the option. + +Two more available commands are useful only in Polish texts: +- ``\pdash'' typesets a dash beginning a line of dialogue (in English + it is not needed, since quotes are used to mark dialogue) +- ``\hyph'' typesets a correct hyphenable hyphen for Polish words like + ``biało-czerwony'' (in English hyphens are hyphenated differently so + they do not need this command) + +License of this file +-------------------- + +Copyright (C) 2009 Michał Masłowski + +Copying and distribution of this file, with or without modification, +are permitted in any medium without royalty provided the copyright +notice and this notice are preserved. |
