With them, babel will fully support Unicode engines. They are +pre-released, so that they could be fine-tuned, but are essentially +finished (except bugs and mistakes, of course). + +Some of them are still incomplete (but they will be usable), and +there are some omissions (eg, Latin and polytonic Greek, and Spanish +and Arabic have no geographic areas). + +This is a preliminary (minimal) documentation (the definitive one will +be added to babel.dtx). + +ini files contain the actual data. tex files are currently just +proxies to the corresponding ini files. + +Most keys are self-explanatory. + +* charset - the encoding used in the ini file. +* version - of the ini file +* level - "version" of the ini specification - which keys are + available (they may grow in a compatible way) and how they + should be read. +* encodings - a descriptive list of font encondings. +* [captions] - section of captions in the file charset +* [captions.licr] - same, but in pure ASCII using the LICR +* date.long - fields are as in the CLDR, but the syntax is + different. Anything inside brackets is a date field (eg, MMMM + for the month name) and anything outside is text. In addition, + [ ] is a non breakable space and [.] is an abbreviation dot. + +Keys may be further qualified in a particular language with a suffix +starting with a uppercase letter. It can be just a letter (eg, +babel.name.A, babel.name.B) or a name (eg, date.long.Nominative, +date.long.Formal, but no language is currently using the +latter). Multi-letter qualifiers are forward compatible in the sense +they won't conflict with new "global" keys (all lowercase). + +2017-04-10
