Where normal - word processing packages such as Microsoft Word or - OpenOffice Writer handle this for you, LATEX (because it - needs you to tell it what to do) has no default behaviour - for this, and so we arrive at a need for a package that - does this for us. You probably already discovered that - regular LATEX has no understanding of unicode, and ended - up going for Xe(La)TeX as your TeX compiler of choice, - which means you now have two excellent resources available: - fontspec, and ucharclasses. - - The first of these lets you pick fonts based on what your - system calls them, without needing to do anything special - such as turning them into metafonts. This is convenient, - user friendly, and the way of the future (at least, it - should be). - - The second lets you define what should happen when your - text changes from a character in one unicode block, to a - character in another. This is also convenient, and paired - with fontspec it offers automatic font switching in the - same way that normal Office applications perform, with - one big difference: you stay in control. If at some point - you need the switch rule to do something different, - you will be out of luck using an Office application. - In Xe(La)TeX, you stay on top of things and still get to - say exactly what happens, and when. - -So what is it? --------------- - - This package sets up XeTeX character classes based on - which unicode block a character is found in. It then - allows transition rules to be defined when entering or - leaving particular unicode blocks, the code of which - gets inserted automatically when a transition from a - character from one unicode block to a character from - another unicode block is encountered by XeTeX - - Current compatibility should be Unicode 6.0, although - I may have missed one or more blocks that were added - between 5 and 6. - -license? --------- - - This package was written by Mike "Pomax" Kamermans, from - nihongoresources and is © 2010, Michiel Kamermans. You - may freely use this package, but you are discouraged from - modifying this package and then redistributing it. Instead, - please contact me (ideally on the XeTeX mailing list) and - we can discuss the changes you wish to make. If they - benefit everyone, they will be worked in as a new version.
