+ Babel Error Reports
+
+ 20 February 2004
+
+ERROR REPORTS
+
+Before you report an error please check that:
+
+ * The error has not already been reported. 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.
