Of +course, placing your style files in this directory is not mandatory, +but if you want to do it, here are a few guidelines. + +- Do not hesitate stating on the file heads you are the author and the + maintainer, if you actually are. There is no need to state the babel + maintainer(s) as authors if they have not contributed significantly + to your language files. +- Fonts are not strictly part of a language, so they are best placed + in the corresponding TeX tree. This includes not only tfm, vf, ps1, + otf, mf files and the like, but also fd ones. +- Font and input encodings are usually best placed in the + corresponding tree, too, but sometimes they belong more naturally to + the babel style. Note you may also need to define a LICR. +- Babel ldf files may just interface a framework, as it happens often + with Oriental language/scripts. This framework is best placed in its + own directory. +- And do not forget providing a manual (as a stand-alone document). + +If your need further assistance and technical advice in the +development of language styles, I am willing to help you. And of +course, you can make any suggestion you like. + +------------ +Javier Bezos +2013/03/25 |
