+=========================================================================
+
+== PURPOSE ==
+
+This bundle is an extension to the babel package for multilingual
+typesetting. It provides all necessary macros, definitions and settings
+to typeset German documents. The bundle includes support for the
+traditional and reformed German orthography as well as for the Austrian
+and Swiss varieties of German.
+
+
+== CONTENTS ==
+
+The bundle consists of the following files:
+
+* german.ins (installation file to unpack the language definition
+  files)
+* germanb.dtx (packed language definition files and
+  documentation for the traditional [1901--1996] orthography)
+* ngermanb.dtx (packed language definition files and
+  documentation for the reformed [1996 ff.] orthography)
+* germanb.pdf: unpacked documentation for germanb.ldf (support
+  for traditional orthography)
+* ngermanb.pdf: unpacked documentation for ngermanb.ldf (support
+  for new orthography)
+* README (this file)
+
+
+== INSTALLATION ==
+
+If the latest version of this package is not included in your LaTeX
+distribution, do the following:
+
+* issue "latex german.ins" to unpack the language definition files
+* copy the files (austrian.ldf, german.ldf, germanb.ldf, naustrian.ldf,
+  ngerman.ldf, ngermanb.ldf, nswissgerman.ldf and swissgerman.ldf)
+  to a location where TeX can find them
+  (default location: $TEXMF/tex/generic/babel-german/)
+
+To re-generate the manuals, issue
+* pdflatex <file>.dtx
+* makeindex -s gglo.ist -o <file>.gls <file>.glo
+* pdflatex <file>.dtx
+* pdflatex <file>.dtx
+Substitute <file> either by germanb or ngermanb.
+
+
+== DOCUMENTATION ==
+
+See the included manuals germanb.pdf (traditional orthography) and
+ngermanb.pdf (new orthography) for usage instructions.
+
+
+== CHANGES ==
+
+See the included manuals germanb.pdf (traditional orthography) and
+ngermanb.pdf (new orthography), section "Change History".

+%  \maketitle
+%
+%    \begin{abstract}
+%      \noindent This manual documents the \babel\ language definition file \file{germanb.ldf}
+%      for German (traditional orthography).
+%      The file is part of the \textsf{babel-german} bundle.
+%    \end{abstract}
+%
+%    \section{Aim and usage}
+%
+%    The file \file{germanb.ldf} provides the \babel\ package with all language definition
+%    macros (language specific strings and settings) for the German language, including
+%    the Austrian and Swiss varieties of German. Furthermore, it assures that the
+%    correct hyphenation patterns for the respective language or variety are
+%    used.\footnote{The file \file{germanb.ldf} started as a re-implementation of the package
+%    \file{german.sty} (v.\,2.5b), which was originally developed by Hubert Partl
+%    (cf. \cite{HP}) and later maintained by Bernd Raichle (cf. \cite{gerdoc}).
+%    The re-implementation was done by Johannes Braams.}
+%    The file adheres to the traditional (1901--1996) orthography.
+%    For reformed (post-1996) German orthography support, please refer to the
+%    complementary |ngermanb.ldf| file.
+%
+%    In order to use the language definitions provided here, you need to use
+%    the \babel\ package and pass the respective language name as an
+%    option, either of
+%
+%    \begin{itemize}
+%       \setlength{\itemsep}{0pt}
+%       \item |\usepackage[german]{babel}|
+%       \item |\usepackage[austrian]{babel}|
+%       \item |\usepackage[swissgerman]{babel}|
+%    \end{itemize}
+%    Please consult the \babel\ manual \cite{babel} for details.
+%
+%    \section{Shorthands}
+%
+%    For all three varieties of German, the character |"| is made active
+%    in order to provide some shorthand macros.
+%    One purpose of these shorthands is to get control over a
+%    peculiarity of traditional German spelling: some consonantial
+%    character combinations change in the context of hyphenations.
+%    Furthermore, the shorthands provide access to some frequently
+%    used special characters as well as some further possibilities
+%    to control hyphenation, to break lines and to deal with ligatures.
+%    Table~\ref{tab:german-quote} provides an overview of the shorthands
+%    that are provided by \file{germanb.ldf}.

+%  \author{Johannes Braams \and Bernd Raichle \and Walter Schmidt \and J\"urgen Spitzm\"uller\thanks{%
+%         Current maintainer. Address correspondence to juergen (at) spitzmueller (dot) org.}}
+%  \date{\fileversion\ (\filedate)}
+%  \maketitle
+%
+%    \begin{abstract}
+%      \noindent This manual documents the \babel\ language definition file \file{ngermanb.ldf}
+%      for German (new orthography).
+%      The file is part of the \textsf{babel-german} bundle.
+%    \end{abstract}
+%
+%    \section{Aim and usage}
+%
+%    The file \file{ngermanb.ldf} provides the \babel\ package with all language
+%    definition macros (language specific strings and settings) for the German
+%    language, including the Austrian and Swiss varieties of German. Furthermore,
+%    it assures that the correct hyphenation patterns for the respective language
+%    or variety are used.\footnote{The file \file{ngermanb.ldf} started as a
+%    re-implementation of the package \file{ngerman.sty} by Bernd Raichle (cf. \cite{gerdoc}),
+%    which itself builds on \file{german.sty}, originally developed by Hubert Partl
+%    (cf. \cite{HP}) and later maintained by Bernd Raichle as well.
+%    The re-implementation was done by Johannes Braams.}
+%    The file adheres to the reformed (1996\,ff.) orthography.
+%    For traditional (1901--1996) German orthography support,
+%    please refer to the complementary |germanb.ldf| file.
+%
+%    In order to use the language definitions provided here, you need to use
+%    the \babel\ package and pass the respective language name as an
+%    option, either of
+%
+%    \begin{itemize}
+%       \setlength{\itemsep}{0pt}
+%       \item |\usepackage[ngerman]{babel}|
+%       \item |\usepackage[naustrian]{babel}|
+%       \item |\usepackage[nswissgerman]{babel}|
+%    \end{itemize}
+%    Please consult the \babel\ manual \cite{babel} for details.
+%
+%    \section{Shorthands}
+%
+%    For all three varieties of German, the character |"| is made active
+%    in order to provide some shorthand macros.
+%    The shorthands provide access to some frequently
+%    used special characters as well as some further possibilities
+%    to control hyphenation, to break lines and to deal with ligatures.
+%    Table~\ref{tab:german-quote} provides an overview of the shorthands
+%    that are provided by \file{ngermanb.ldf}.
+%    \begin{table}[htb]
+%     \begin{center}
+%     \begin{tabular}{lp{.75\textwidth}}
+%      |"a| & umlaut \"a (shorthand for |\"a|). Similar shorthands are
+%                  available for all other lower- and uppercase
+%                  vowels (umlauts: |"a|, |"o|, |"u|, |"A|, |"O|,
+%                  |"U|, as well as tremata: |"e|, |"i|, |"E|, |"I|).\\
+%      |"s| & German \ss{} (shorthand for |\ss{}|).                \\
+%      |"z| & German \ss{} (shorthand for |\ss{}|).                \\
+%      |"S| & |SS| (|\uppercase{"s}|, since \ss{} must be written
+%               as SS in uppercase writing).                       \\
+%      |"Z| & |SZ| (|\uppercase{"z}|). An alternative to |"S| common
+%               in traditional spelling, where \ss{} could also
+%               be written as SZ instead of SS in uppercase writing.
+%               Note that, with reformed orthography, the SZ
+%               variant has been deprecated in favour of SS only.  \\
+%      \verb="|= & disable ligature at this position
+%                  (e.\,g. \verb=Auf"|lage=).                      \\
+%      |"-| & an additional breakpoint that does still
+%             allow for hyphenation at the breakpoints preset in
+%             the hyphenation patterns (as opposed to |\-|).       \\
+%      |""| & a breakpoint that does not output a hyphen sign
+%             if the line break is performed (useful for compound
+%             words with hyphen, e.\,g.\ |(Un-)""Sinn|).           \\
+%      |"~| & a compound word mark without a breakpoint. Useful for
+%              cases such as |bergauf und "~ab|.          \\
+%      |"=| & a compound word mark with a breakpoint, allowing
+%             for hyphenation at the other points preset in the
+%             hyphenation patterns (as opposed to plain |-|).      \\
+%      |"`| & German left double quotes (i.\,e. ,,).               \\
+%      |"'| & German right double quotes (i.\,e. ``).              \\

+%  \Babel\ expects a \file{\langvar{}.ldf} file for each \langvar. So we create portmanteau
+%    ldf files for \texttt{naustrian}, \texttt{ngerman} and \texttt{nswissgerman}.\footnote{%
+%    For some \texttt{naustrian} and \texttt{ngerman}, this is not strictly necessary,
+%    since \babel\ provides aliases for these languages (pointing to \texttt{ngermanb}).
+%    However, since \babel\ does not officially support these aliases anymore after
+%    the language definition files have been separated from the core, we provide
+%    the whole range of ldf files for the sake of completeness.} These files themselves
+%    only load \file{ngermanb.ldf}, which does the real work:
