%  \begin{abstract}
%    The standard distribution of \LaTeX\ contains a number of
%    document classes that are meant to be used, but also serve as
%    examples for other users to create their own document classes.
%    These document classes have become very popular among \LaTeX\
%    users. But it should be kept in mind that they were designed for
%    American tastes and typography. At one time they contained a
%    number of hard-wired texts. This report describes \babel{}, a
%    package that makes use of the new capabilities of \TeX\ version 3
%    to provide an environment in which documents can be typeset in
%    a language other than US English, or in more than one language.

% \section{The user interface}\label{U-I}
%
%    The user interface of this package is quite simple. It consists
%    of a set of commands that switch from one language to another, and
%    a set of commands that deal with shorthands. It is also possible
%    to find out what the current language is.
%
%  \DescribeMacro{\selectlanguage}
%    When a user wants to switch from one language to another he can
%    do so using the macro |\selectlanguage|. This macro takes the
%    language, defined previously by a language definition file, as
%    its argument. It calls several macros that should be defined in
%    the language definition files to activate the special definitions
%    for the language chosen.
%
%  \DescribeEnv{otherlanguage}
%    The environment \Lenv{otherlanguage} does basically the same as
%    |\selectlanguage|, except the language change is local to the
%    environment. This environment is required for intermixing
%    left-to-right typesetting with right-to-left typesetting.
%    The language to switch to is specified as an
%    argument to |\begin{otherlanguage}|.
%
%  \DescribeMacro{\foreignlanguage}
%    The command |\foreignlanguage| takes two arguments; the second
%    argument is a phrase to be typeset according to the rules of the
%    language named in its first argument. This command only switches
%    the extra definitions and the hyphenation rules for the language,
%    \emph{not} the names and dates.
%
%  \DescribeEnv{otherlanguage*}
%    In the environment \Lenv{otherlanguage*} only the typesetting
%    is done according to the rules of the other language, but the
%    text-strings such as `figure', `table', etc. are left as they
%    were set outside this environment.
%
%  \DescribeEnv{hyphenrules}
%    The environment \Lenv{hyphenrules} can be used to select
%    \emph{only} the hyphenation rules to be used. This can for
%    instance be used to select `nohyphenation', provided that in
%    \file{language.dat} the `language' nohyphenation is defined by
%    loading \file{serohyph.tex}.
%
%  \DescribeMacro{\languagename}
%    The control sequence |\languagename| contains the name of the
%    current language.
%
%  \DescribeMacro{\iflanguage}
%    If more than one language is used, it might be necessary to know
%    which language is active at a specific time. This can be checked
%    by a call to |\iflanguage|. This macro takes three arguments.
%    The first argument is the name of a language; the second and
%    third arguments are the actions to take if the result of the test
%    is \texttt{true} or \texttt{false} respectively.
%
%  \DescribeMacro{\useshorthands}
%    The command |\useshorthands| initiates the definition of
%    user-defined shorthand sequences. It has one argument, the
%    character that starts these personal shorthands.
%
%  \DescribeMacro{\defineshorthand}
%     The command |\defineshorthand| takes two arguments: the first
%     is a one- or two-character shorthand sequence, and the second is
%     the code the shorthand should expand to.
%
%  \DescribeMacro{\aliasshorthand}
%    The command |\aliasshorthand| can be used to let another
%    character perform the same functions as the default shorthand
%    character. If one prefers for example to use the character |/|
%    over |"| in typing polish texts, this can be achieved by entering
%    |\aliasshorthand{"}{/}|. \emph{Please note} that the substitute
%    shorthand character must have been declared in the preamble of
%    your document, using a command such as |\useshorthands{/}| in this
%    example.
%
%  \DescribeMacro{\languageshorthands}
%     The command |\languageshorthands| can be used to switch the
%     shorthands on the language level. It takes one argument, the
%     name of a language. Note that for this to work the language
%     should have been specified as an option when loading the \babel\
%     package.
%
%  \DescribeMacro{\shorthandon}
%  \DescribeMacro{\shorthandoff}
%    It is sometimes necessary to switch a shorthand
%    character off temporarily, because it must be used in an
%    entirely different way. For this purpose, the user commands
%    |\shorthandoff| and |\shorthandon| are provided. They each take a
%    list of characters as their arguments. The command |\shorthandoff|
%    sets the |\catcode| for each of the characters in its argument to
%    other (12); the command |\shorthandon| sets the |\catcode| to
%    active (13). Both commands only work on `known'
%    shorthand characters. If a character is not known to be a
%    shorthand character its category code will be left unchanged.
%
%  \DescribeMacro{\languageattribute}
%    This is a user-level command, to be used in the preamble of a
%    document (after |\usepackage[...]{babel}|), that declares which
%    attributes are to be used for a given language. It takes two
%    arguments: the first is the name of the language; the second,
%    a (list of) attribute(s) to used.
%    The command checks whether the language is known in this document
%    and whether the attribute(s) are known for this language.
%

%
%    For some languages \babel\ supports the options
%    \Lopt{activeacute} and \Lopt{activegrave}; for typestting Russian
%    texts, \babel\ knows about the options \Lopt{LWN} and \Lopt{LCY}
%    to specify the fontencoding of the cyrillic font used. Currently
%    only \Lopt{LWN} is supported.
%
% \subsection{Workarounds}
%
%    If you use the document class \cls{book} \emph{and} you use
%    |\ref| inside the argument of |\chapter|,
%    \LaTeX\ will keep complaining about an undefined
%    label. The reason is that the argument of |\ref| is passed through
%    |\uppercase| at some time during processing. To prevent such
%    problems, you could revert to using uppercase labels, or you can
%    use |\lowercase{\ref{foo}}| inside the argument of |\chapter|.
%
% \section{Changes for \LaTeXe}
%
%    With the advent of \LaTeXe\ the interface to \babel\ in the
%    preamble of the document has changed. With \LaTeX2.09 one used to
%    call up the \babel\ system with a line such as:
%
%\begin{verbatim}
%\documentstyle[dutch,english]{article}
%\end{verbatim}
%
%    which would tell \LaTeX\ that the document would be written in
%    two languages, Dutch and English, and that English would be the
%    first language in use.
%
%    The \LaTeXe\ way of providing the same information is:
%
%\begin{verbatim}
%\documentclass{article}
%\usepackage[dutch,english]{babel}
%\end{verbatim}
%
%    or, making \Lopt{dutch} and \Lopt{english} global options in
%    order to let other packages detect and use them:
%
%\begin{verbatim}
%\documentclass[dutch,english]{article}
%\usepackage{babel}
%\usepackage{varioref}
%\end{verbatim}
%
%    In this last example, the package \texttt{varioref} will also see
%    the options and will be able to use them.
%
% \section{Changes in \Babel\ version 3.7}
%
%    In \Babel\ version 3.7 a number of bugs that were found in
%    version~3.6 are fixed. Also a number of changes and additions
%    have occurred:
%    \begin{itemize}
%    \item Shorthands are expandable again. The disadvantage is that
%      one has to type |'{}a| when the acute accent is used as a
%      shorthand character. The advantage is that a number of other
%      problems (such as the breaking of ligatures, etc.) have
%      vanished.
%    \item Two new commands, |\shorthandon| and |\shorthandoff| have
%      been introduced to enable to temporarily switch off one or more
%      shorthands.
%^^A    \item Support for typesetting Sanskrit in transliteration is now
%^^A      available, thanks to Jun Takashima.
%^^A    \item Support for typesetting Kannada, Devnagari and Tamil is now
%^^A      available thanks to Jun Takashima.
%    \item Support for typesetting Greek has been enhanced. Code from
%      the \pkg{kdgreek} package (suggested by the author) was added
%      and |\greeknumeral| has been added.
%    \item Support for typesetting Basque is now available thanks to
%      Juan Aguirregabiria.
%    \item Support for typesetting Serbian with Latin script is now
%      available thanks to Dejan Muhamedagi\'{c} and Jankovic
%      Slobodan.
%    \item Support for typesetting Hebrew (and potential support for
%      typesetting other right-to-left written languages) is now
%      available thanks to Rama Porrat and Boris Lavva.
%    \item Support for typesetting Bulgarian is now available thanks to
%      Georgi Boshnakov.
%    \item Support for typesetting Latin is now available, thanks to
%      Claudio Beccari and Krzysztof Konrad \.Zelechowski.
%    \item Support for typesetting North Sami is now available, thanks
%      to Regnor Jernsletten.
%    \item The options \Lopt{canadian}, \Lopt{canadien} and
%      \Lopt{acadien} have been added for Canadian English and French
%      use.
%    \item A language attribute has been added to the |\mark...|
%      commands in order to make sure that a Greek header line comes
%      out right on the last page before a language switch.
%    \item Hyphenation pattern files are now read \emph{inside a
%      group}; therefore any changes a pattern file needs to make to
%      lowercase codes, uppercase codes, and category codes are kept
%      local to that group. If they are needed for the language, these
%      changes will need to be repeated and stored in |\extras...|
%    \item The concept of language attributes is introduced. It is
%      intended to give the user some control over the
%      features a language-definition file provides. Its
%      first use is for the Greek language, where the user can choose
%      the  $\pi o\lambda\upsilon\tau o\nu\kappa\acute{o}$
%      (``Polutoniko'' or multi-accented) Greek way of typesetting
%      texts. These attributes will possibly find wider use in future
%      releases.
%    \item The environment \Lenv{hyphenrules} is introduced.
%    \item The syntax of the file \file{language.dat} has been
%      extended to allow (optionally) specifying the font
%      encoding to be used while processing the patterns file.
%    \item The command |\providehyphenmins| should now be used in
%      language definition files in order to be able to keep any
%      settings provided by the pattern file.
%    \end{itemize}
%
% \section{Changes in \Babel\ version 3.6}
%
%    In \Babel\ version 3.6 a number of bugs that were found in
%    version~3.5 are fixed. Also a number of changes and additions
%    have occurred:
%    \begin{itemize}
%    \item A new environment \Lenv{otherlanguage*} is introduced. it
%      only switches the `specials', but leaves the `captions'
%      untouched.
%    \item The shorthands are no longer fully expandable. Some
%      problems could only be solved by peeking at the token following
%      an active character. The advantage is that |'{}a| works as
%      expected for languages that have the |'| active.
%    \item Support for typesetting french texts is much enhanced; the
%      file \file{francais.ldf} is now replaced by \file{frenchb.ldf}
%      which is maintained by Daniel Flipo.
%    \item Support for typesetting the russian language is again
%      available. The language definition file was originally
%      developed by Olga Lapko from CyrTUG. The fonts needed to
%      typeset the russian language are now part of the \babel\
%      distribution. The support is not yet up to the level which is
%      needed according to Olga, but this is a start.
%    \item Support for typesetting greek texts is now also
%      available. What is offered in this release is a first attempt;
%      it will be enhanced later on by Yannis Haralambous.
%    \item in \babel\ 3.6j some hooks have been added for the
%      development of support for Hebrew typesetting.
%    \item Support for typesetting texts in Afrikaans (a variant of
%      Dutch, spoken in South Africa) has been added to
%      \file{dutch.ldf}.
%    \item Support for typesetting Welsh texts is now available.
%    \item A new command |\aliasshorthand| is introduced. It seems
%      that in Poland various conventions are used to type the
%      necessary Polish letters. It is now possible to use the
%      character~|/| as a shorthand character instead of the
%      character~|"|, by issuing the command |\aliasshorthand{"}{/}|.
%    \item The shorthand mechanism now deals correctly with characters
%      that are already active.
%    \item Shorthand characters are made active at |\begin{document}|,
%      not earlier. This is to prevent problems with other packages.
%    \item A \emph{preambleonly} command |\substitutefontfamily| has
%      been added to create \file{.fd} files on the fly when the font
%      families of the Latin text differ from the families used for
%      the Cyrillic or Greek parts of the text.
%    \item Three new commands |\LdfInit|, |\ldf@quit| and
%      |\ldf@finish| are introduced that perform a number of standard
%      tasks.
%    \item In babel 3.6k the language Ukrainian has been added and the
%      support for Russian typesetting has been adapted to the package
%      'cyrillic' to be released with the December 1998 release of
%      \LaTeXe.
%    \end{itemize}
%
% \section{Changes in \Babel\ version 3.5}
%
%    In \Babel\ version 3.5 a lot of changes have been made when
%    compared with the previous release. Here is a list of the most
%    important ones:
%    \begin{itemize}
%    \item the selection of the language is delayed until
%      |\begin{document}|, which means you must
%      add appropriate |\selectlanguage| commands if you include
%      |\hyphenation| lists in the preamble of your document.
%    \item \babel\ now has a \Lenv{language} environment and a new
%      command |\foreignlanguage|;
%    \item the way active characters are dealt with is completely
%      changed. They are called `shorthands'; one can have three
%      levels of shorthands: on the user level, the language level, and
%      on `system level'. A consequence of the new way of handling
%      active characters is that they are now written to auxiliary
%      files `verbatim';
%    \item A language change now also writes information in the
%      \file{.aux} file, as the change might also affect typesetting
%      the table of contents. The consequence is that an .aux file
%      generated by a LaTeX format with babel preloaded gives errors
%      when read with a LaTeX format without babel; but I think this
%      probably doesn't occur;
%    \item \babel\ is now compatible with the \pkg{inputenc} and
%      \pkg{fontenc} packages;
%    \item the language definition files now have a new extension,
%      \file{ldf};
%    \item the syntax of the file \file{language.dat} is extended to
%      be compatible with the \pkg{french} package by Bernard Gaulle;
%    \item each language definition file looks for a configuration
%      file which has the same name, but the extension \file{.cfg}. It
%    can contain any valid \LaTeX\ code.
%    \end{itemize}
%
% \section{The interface between the core of \babel{} and the language
%    definition files}
%
%    In the core of the \babel{} system, several macros are defined
%    for use in language definition files. Their purpose
%    is to make a new language known.
%
%  \DescribeMacro{\addlanguage}
%    The macro |\addlanguage| is a non-outer version of the macro
%    |\newlanguage|, defined in \file{plain.tex} version~3.x. For
%    older versions of \file{plain.tex} and \file{lplain.tex} a
%    substitute definition is used.
%
%  \DescribeMacro{\adddialect}
%    The macro |\adddialect| can be used when two
%    languages can (or must) use the same hyphenation
%    patterns. This can also be useful for
%    languages for which no patterns are preloaded in the format. In
%    such cases the default behaviour of the \babel{} system is to
%    define this language as a `dialect' of the language for which the
%    patterns were loaded as |\language0|.
%
%    The language definition files must conform to a number of
%    conventions, because these files have to fill
%    in the gaps left by the common code in \file{babel.def}, i.\,e.,
%    the definitions of the macros that produce texts.  Also the
%    language-switching possibility which has been built into the
%    \babel{} system has its implications.
%
%    The following assumptions are made:
%   \begin{itemize}
%    \item Some of the language-specific definitions might be used by
%    plain \TeX\ users, so the files have to be coded so that they
%    can be read by both \LaTeX\ and plain \TeX. The current
%    format can be checked by looking at the value of the macro
%    |\fmtname|.
%
%    \item The common part of the \babel{} system redefines a number
%    of macros and environments (defined previously in the document
%    style) to put in the names of macros that replace the previously
%    hard-wired texts.  These macros have to be defined in the
%    language definition files.
%
%    \item The language definition files define five macros, used to
%    activate and deactivate the language-specific definitions.  These
%    macros are |\|\langvar|hyphenmins|, |\captions|\langvar,
%    |\date|\langvar, |\extras|\langvar\ and |\noextras|\langvar; where
%    \langvar\ is either the name of the language definition file or
%    the name of the \LaTeX\ option that is to be used. These
%    macros and their functions are discussed below.
%
%    \item When a language definition file is loaded, it can define
%    |\l@|\langvar\ to be a dialect of |\language0| when
%    |\l@|\langvar\ is undefined.
%
%    \item The language definition files can be read in the preamble of
%    the document, but also in the middle of document processing. This
%    means that they have to function independently of the current
%    |\catcode| of the \texttt{@}~sign.
%   \end{itemize}
%
%  \DescribeMacro{\providehyphenmins}
%    The macro |\providehyphenmins| should be used in the language
%    definition files to set the |\lefthyphenmin| and
%    |\righthyphenmin|. This macro will check whether these parameters
%    were provided by the hyphenation file before it takes any action.
%
%  \DescribeMacro{\langhyphenmins}
%    The macro |\|\langvar|hyphenmins| is used to store the values of
%    the |\lefthyphenmin| and |\righthyphenmin|.
%
%  \DescribeMacro{\captionslang}
%    The macro |\captions|\langvar\ defines the macros that
%    hold the texts to replace the original hard-wired texts.
%
%  \DescribeMacro{\datelang}
%    The macro |\date|\langvar\ defines |\today| and
%
%  \DescribeMacro{\extraslang}
%    The macro |\extras|\langvar\ contains all the extra definitions
%    needed for a specific language.
%
%  \DescribeMacro{\noextraslang}
%    Because we want to let the user switch
%    between languages, but we do not know what state \TeX\ might be in
%    after the execution of |\extras|\langvar, a macro that brings
%    \TeX\ into a predefined state is needed. It will be no surprise
%    that the name of this macro is |\noextras|\langvar.
%
%  \DescribeMacro{\bbl@declare@ttribute}
%    This is a command to be used in the language definition files for
%    declaring a language attribute. It takes three arguments: the
%    name of the language, the attribute to be defined, and the code
%    to be executed when the attribute is to be used.
%
%  \DescribeMacro{\main@language}
%    To postpone the activation of the definitions needed for a
%    language until the beginning of a document, all language
%    definition files should use |\main@language| instead of
%    |\selectlanguage|. This will just store the name of the language,
%    and the proper language will be activated at the start of the
%    document.
%
%  \DescribeMacro{\ProvidesLanguage}
%    The macro |\ProvidesLanguage| should be used to identify the
%    language definition files. Its syntax is similar to the syntax
%    of the \LaTeX\ command |\ProvidesPackage|.
%
%  \DescribeMacro{\LdfInit}
%    The macro |\LdfInit| performs a couple of standard checks that
%    must be made at the beginning of a language definition file,
%    such as checking the category code of the @-sign, preventing
%    the \file{.ldf} file from being processed twice, etc.
%
%  \DescribeMacro{\ldf@quit}
%    The macro |\ldf@quit| does work needed
%    if a \file{.ldf} file was processed
%    earlier. This includes resetting the category code
%    of the @-sign, preparing the language to be activated at
%    |\begin{document}| time, and ending the input stream.
%
%  \DescribeMacro{\ldf@finish}
%    The macro |\ldf@finish| does work needed
%    at the end of each \file{.ldf} file. This
%    includes resetting the category code of the @-sign,
%    loading a local configuration file, and preparing the language
%    to be activated at |\begin{document}| time.
%
%  \DescribeMacro{\loadlocalcfg}
%    After processing a language definition file,
%    \LaTeX\ can be instructed to load a local configuration
%    file. This file can, for instance, be used to add strings to
%    |\captions|\langvar\ to support local document
%    classes. The user will be informed that this
%    configuration file has been loaded. This macro is called by
%    |\ldf@finish|.
%
%  \DescribeMacro{\substitutefontfamily}
%    This command takes three arguments, a font encoding and two font
%    family names. It creates a font description file for the first
%    font in the given encoding. This \file{.fd} file will instruct
%    \LaTeX\ to use a font from the second family when a font from the
%    first family in the given encoding seems to be needed.
%
% \subsection{Support for active characters}
%
%    In quite a number of language definition files, active characters
%    are introduced. To facilitate this, some support macros are
%    provided.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\initiate@active@char}
%    The internal macro |\initiate@active@char| is used in language
%    definition files to instruct \LaTeX\ to give a character the
%    category code `active'. When a character has been made active it
%    will remain that way until the end of the document. Its
%    definition may vary.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\bbl@activate}
% \DescribeMacro{\bbl@deactivate}
%    The command |\bbl@activate| is used to change the way an active
%    character expands. |\bbl@activate| `switches on' the active
%    behaviour of the character. |\bbl@deactivate| lets the active
%    character expand to its former (mostly) non-active self.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\declare@shorthand}
%    The macro |\declare@shorthand| is used to define the various
%    shorthands. It takes three arguments: the name for the collection
%    of shorthands this definition belongs to; the character
%    (sequence) that makes up the shorthand, i.e.\ |~| or |"a|; and the
%    code to be executed when the shorthand is encountered.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\bbl@add@special}
% \DescribeMacro{\bbl@remove@special}
%    The \TeX book states: ``Plain \TeX\ includes a macro called
%    |\dospecials| that is
%    essentially a set macro, representing the set of all characters
%    that have a special category code.'' \cite[p.~380]{DEK} It is
%    used to set text `verbatim'.  To make this work if more
%    characters get a special category code, you have to add this
%    character to the macro |\dospecial|.  \LaTeX\ adds another macro
%    called |\@sanitize| representing the same character set, but
%    without the curly braces.  The macros
%    |\bbl@add@special|\meta{char} and
%    |\bbl@remove@special|\meta{char} add and remove the character
%    \meta{char} to these two sets.
%
% \subsection{Support for saving macro definitions}
%
%    Language definition files may want to \emph{re}define macros that
%    already exist. Therefor a mechanism for saving (and restoring)
%    the original definition of those macros is provided. We provide
%    two macros for this\footnote{This mechanism was introduced by
%    Bernd Raichle.}.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\babel@save} To save the current meaning of any
%    control sequence, the macro |\babel@save| is provided. It takes
%    one argument, \meta{csname}, the control sequence for which the
%    meaning has to be saved.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\babel@savevariable} A second macro is provided to
%    save the current value of a variable.  In this context, anything
%    that is allowed after the |\the| primitive is considered to be a
%    variable. The macro takes one argument, the \meta{variable}.
%
%    The effect of the preceding macros is to append a piece of code
%    to the current definition of |\originalTeX|. When
%    |\originalTeX| is expanded, this code restores the previous
%    definition of the control sequence or the previous value of the
%    variable.
%
% \subsection{Support for extending macros}
%
% \DescribeMacro{\addto}
%    The macro |\addto{|\meta{control sequence}|}{|\meta{\TeX\
%    code}|}| can be used to extend the definition of a macro. The
%    macro need not be defined. This macro can, for instance, be used
%    in adding instructions to a macro like |\extrasenglish|.
%
% \subsection{Macros common to a number of languages}
%
% \DescribeMacro{\allowhyphens}
%    In a couple of European languages compound words are used. This
%    means that when \TeX\ has to hyphenate such a compound word, it
%    only does so at the `\texttt{-}' that is used in such words. To
%    allow hyphenation in the rest of such a compound word, the macro
%    |\allowhyphens| can be used.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\set@low@box}
%    For some languages, quotes need to be lowered to the baseline. For
%    this purpose the macro |\set@low@box| is available. It takes one
%    argument and puts that argument in an |\hbox|, at the
%    baseline. The result is available in |\box0| for further
%    processing.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\save@sf@q}
%    Sometimes it is necessary to preserve the |\spacefactor|.  For
%    this purpose the macro |\save@sf@q| is available. It takes one
%    argument, saves the current spacefactor, executes the argument,
%    and restores the spacefactor.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\bbl@frenchspacing}
% \DescribeMacro{\bbl@nonfrenchspacing}
%    The commands |\bbl@frenchspacing| and |\bbl@nonfrenchspacing| can
%    be used to properly switch French spacing on and off.
%
% \section{Compatibility with \file{german.sty}}\label{l-h}
%
%    The file \file{german.sty} has been
%    one of the sources of inspiration for the \babel{}
%    system. Because of this I wanted to include \file{german.sty} in
%    the \babel{} system.  To be able to do that I had to allow for
%    one incompatibility: in the definition of the macro
%    |\selectlanguage| in \file{german.sty} the argument is used as the
%    {$\langle \it number \rangle$} for an |\ifcase|. So in this case
%    a call to |\selectlanguage| might look like
%    |\selectlanguage{\german}|.
%
%    In the definition of the macro |\selectlanguage| in
%    \file{babel.def} the argument is used as a part of other
%    macronames, so a call to |\selectlanguage| now looks like
%    |\selectlanguage{german}|.  Notice the absence of the escape
%    character.  As of version~3.1a of \babel{} both syntaxes are
%    allowed.
%
%    All other features of the original \file{german.sty} have been
%    copied into a new file, called \file{germanb.sty}\footnote{The
%    `b' is added to the name to distinguish the file from Partls'
%    file.}.
%
%    Although the \babel{} system was developed to be used with
%    \LaTeX, some of the features implemented in the language
%    definition files might be needed by plain \TeX\ users. Care has
%    been taken that all files in the system can be processed by plain
%    \TeX.
%
% \section{Compatibility with \file{ngerman.sty}}
%
%    When used with the options \Lopt{ngerman} or \Lopt{naustrian},
%    \babel{} will provide all features of the package \pkg{ngerman}.
%    There is however one exception:  The commands for special
%    hyphenation of double consonants (|"ff| etc.) and ck (|"ck|),
%    which are no longer required with the new German orthography, are
%    undefined. With the \pkg{ngerman} package, however, these
%    commands will generate appropriate warning messages only.
%
% \section{Compatibility with the \pkg{french} package}
%
%    It has been reported to me that the package \pkg{french} by
%    Bernard Gaulle (\texttt{gaulle@idris.fr}) works
%    together with \babel. On the other hand, it seems \emph{not} to
%    work well together with a lot of other packages. Therefore I have
%    decided to no longer load \file{french.ldf} by default. Instead,
%    when you want to use the package by Bernard Gaulle, you will have
%    to request it specifically, by passing either \Lopt{frenchle} or
%    \Lopt{frenchpro} as an option to \babel.

% \section{Conclusion}
%
%    A system of document options has been presented that enable the
%    user of \LaTeX\ to adapt the standard document classes of \LaTeX\
%    to the language he or she prefers to use. These options offer the
%    possibility of switching between languages in one document. The
%    basic interface consists of using one option, which is the same
%    for \emph{all} standard document classes.
%
%    In some cases the language definition files provide macros that
%    can be useful to plain \TeX\ users as well as to \LaTeX\ users.
%    The \babel{} system has been implemented so that it
%    can be used by both groups of users.
%

% \section{The Package File}
%
%    In order to make use of the features of \LaTeXe, the \babel\
%    system contains a package file, \file{babel.sty}. This file
%    is loaded by the |\usepackage| command and defines all the
%    language options known in the \babel\ system. It also takes care
%    of a number of compatibility issues with other packages.

% \section{The Kernel of Babel}
%
%    The kernel of the \babel\ system is stored in either
%    \file{hyphen.cfg} or \file{switch.def} and \file{babel.def}. The
%    file \file{hyphen.cfg} is a file that can be loaded into the
%    format, which is necessary when you want to be able to switch
%    hyphenation patterns. The file \file{babel.def} contains some
%    \TeX\ code that can be read in at run time. When \file{babel.def}
%    is loaded it checks if \file{hyphen.cfg} is in the format; if
%    not the file \file{switch.def} is loaded.
%
%    Because plain \TeX\ users might want to use some of the features
%    of the \babel{} system too, care has to be taken that plain \TeX\
%    can process the files. For this reason the current format will
%    have to be checked in a number of places. Some of the code below
%    is common to plain \TeX\ and \LaTeX, some of it is for the
%    \LaTeX\ case only.
%
%    When the command |\AtBeginDocument| doesn't exist we assume that
%    we are dealing with a plain-based format. In that case the file
%    \file{plain.def} is needed.
%
%    \begin{macrocode}
%<*kernel|core>
\ifx\AtBeginDocument\@undefined
%    \end{macrocode}
%    But we need to use the second part of \file{plain.def} (when we
%    load it from \file{switch.def}) which we can do by defining
%    |\adddialect|.
% \changes{babel~3.7c}{1999/04/20}{define \cs{adddialect} before
%    loading \file{plain.def} here}

%  \subsection{Encoding issues (part 1)}
%
%    The first thing we need to do is to determine, at
%    |\begin{document}|, which latin fontencoding to use.
%
%  \begin{macro}{\latinencoding}
% \changes{babel~3.6i}{1997/03/15}{Macro added, moved from
%    \file{.ldf} files}
%    When text is being typeset in an encoding other than `latin'
%    (\texttt{OT1} or \texttt{T1}), it would be nice to still have
%    Roman numerals come out in the Latin encoding.
%    So we first assume that the current encoding at the end
%    of processing the package is the Latin encoding.
%    \begin{macrocode}
%<*core>
\AtEndOfPackage{\edef\latinencoding{\cf@encoding}}
%    \end{macrocode}
%    But this might be overruled with a later loading of the package
%    \pkg{fontenc}. Therefor we check at the execution of
%    |\begin{document}| whether it was loaded with the \Lopt{T1}
%    option. The normal way to do this (using |\@ifpackageloaded|) is
%    disabled for this package. Now we have to revert to parsing the
%    internal macro |\@filelist| which contains all the filenames
%    loaded.

\else
  \DeclareTextFontCommand{\textlatin}{\latintext}
\fi
%</core>
%    \end{macrocode}
%  \end{macro}
%
%    We also need to redefine a number of commands to ensure that the
%    right font encoding is used, but this can't be done before
%    \file{babel.def} is loaded.
% \changes{babel~3.6o}{1999/04/07}{Moved the rest of the font encoding

%
% \subsection{Multiple languages}
%
%    With \TeX\ version~3.0 it has become possible to load hyphenation
%    patterns for more than one language. This means that some extra
%    administration has to be taken care of.  The user has to know for
%    which languages patterns have been loaded, and what values of
%    |\language| have been used.
%
%    Some discussion has been going on in the \TeX\ world about how to
%    use |\language|. Some have suggested to set a fixed standard,
%    i.\,e., patterns for each language should \emph{always} be loaded
%    in the same location. It has also been suggested to use the
%    \textsc{iso} list for this purpose. Others have pointed out that
%    the \textsc{iso} list contains more than 256~languages, which
%    have \emph{not} been numbered consecutively.
%
%    I think the best way to use |\language|, is to use it
%    dynamically.  This code implements an algorithm to do so. It uses
%    an external file in which the person who maintains a \TeX\
%    environment has to record for which languages he has hyphenation
%    patterns \emph{and} in which files these are stored\footnote{This
%    is because different operating systems sometimes use \emph{very}
%    different file-naming conventions.}. When hyphenation exceptions
%    are stored in a separate file this can be indicated by naming
%    that file \emph{after} the file with the hyphenation patterns.
%
%    This ``configuration file'' can contain empty lines and comments,
%    as well as lines which start with an equals (\texttt{=})
%    sign. Such a line will instruct \LaTeX\ that the hyphenation
%    patterns just processed have to be known under an alternative
%    name. Here is an example:
%  \begin{verbatim}
%    % File    : language.dat
%    % Purpose : tell iniTeX what files with patterns to load.
%    english    english.hyphenations
%    =british
%
%    dutch      hyphen.dutch exceptions.dutch % Nederlands
%    german hyphen.ger
%  \end{verbatim}
%
%    As the file \file{switch.def} needs to be read only once, we
%    check whether it was read before.  If it was, the command
%    |\iflanguage| is already defined, so we can stop processing.
%    \begin{macrocode}
%<*kernel>
%<*!patterns>
\expandafter\ifx\csname iflanguage\endcsname\relax \else
\expandafter\endinput
\fi
%</!patterns>
%    \end{macrocode}
%
%  \begin{macro}{\language}
%    Plain \TeX\ version~3.0 provides the primitive |\language| that
%    is used to store the current language. When used with a pre-3.0
%    version this function has to be implemented by allocating a
%    counter.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\ifx\language\@undefined
  \csname newcount\endcsname\language
\fi
%    \end{macrocode}
%  \end{macro}
%
%  \begin{macro}{\last@language}
%    Another counter is used to store the last language defined.  For
%    pre-3.0 formats an extra counter has to be allocated,
%    \begin{macrocode}
\ifx\newlanguage\@undefined
  \csname newcount\endcsname\last@language

%  \begin{macro}{\selectlanguage}
%    The macro |\selectlanguage| checks whether the language is
%    already defined before it performs its actual task, which is to
%    update |\language| and activate language-specific definitions.
%
%    To allow the call of |\selectlanguage| either with a control
%    sequence name or with a simple string as argument, we have to use
%    a trick to delete the optional escape character.
%
%    To convert a control sequence to a string, we use the |\string|
%    primitive.  Next we have to look at the first character of this
%    string and compare it with the escape character.  Because this
%    escape character can be changed by setting the internal integer
%    |\escapechar| to a character number, we have to compare this
%    number with the character of the string.  To do this we have to
%    use \TeX's backquote notation to specify the character as a
%    number.
%
%    If the first character of the |\string|'ed argument is the
%    current escape character, the comparison has stripped this
%    character and the rest in the `then' part consists of the rest of
%    the control sequence name.  Otherwise we know that either the
%    argument is not a control sequence or |\escapechar| is set to a
%    value outside of the character range~$0$--$255$.
%
%    If the user gives an empty argument, we provide a default
%    argument for |\string|.  This argument should expand to nothing.

%  \begin{macro}{\bbl@pop@language}
%    \emph{But} when the language change happens \emph{inside} a group
%    the end of the group doesn't write anything to the auxiliary
%    files. Therefor we need \TeX's |aftergroup| mechanism to help
%    us. The command |\aftergroup| stores the token immediately
%    following it to be executed when the current group is closed. So
%    we define a temporary control sequence |\bbl@pop@language| to be
%    executed at the end of the group. It calls |\bbl@set@language|
%    with the name of the current language as its argument.
%
% \changes{babel~3.7j}{2003/03/18}{Introduce the language stack
%    mechanism}
%  \begin{macro}{\bbl@language@stack}
%    The previous solution works for one level of nesting groups, but
%    as soon as more levels are used it is no longer adequate. For
%    that case we need to keep track of the nested languages using a
%    stack mechanism. This stack is called |\bbl@language@stack| and
%    initially empty.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\xdef\bbl@language@stack{}
%    \end{macrocode}
%    When using a stack we need a mechanism to push an element on the
%    stack and to retrieve the information afterwards.
%  \begin{macro}{\bbl@push@language}
%  \begin{macro}{\bbl@pop@language}
%    The stack is simply a list of languagenames, separated with a `+'
%    sign; the push function can be simple:
%    \begin{macrocode}
\def\bbl@push@language{%
  \xdef\bbl@language@stack{\languagename+\bbl@language@stack}%
  }
%    \end{macrocode}
%    Retrieving information from the stack is a little bit less simple,
%    as we need to remove the element from the stack while storing it
%    in the macro |\languagename|. For this we first define a helper function.
%  \begin{macro}{\bbl@pop@lang}
%    This macro stores its first element (which is delimited by the
%    `+'-sign) in |\languagename| and stores the rest of the string
%    (delimited by `-') in its third argument.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\def\bbl@pop@lang#1+#2-#3{%
  \def\languagename{#1}\xdef#3{#2}%
  }
%    \end{macrocode}
%  \end{macro}
%    The reason for the somewhat weird arrangement of arguments to the
%    helper function is the fact it is called in the following way:
%    \begin{macrocode}
\def\bbl@pop@language{%
  \expandafter\bbl@pop@lang\bbl@language@stack-\bbl@language@stack
%    \end{macrocode}
%    This means that before |\bbl@pop@lang| is executed \TeX\ first
%    \emph{expands} the stack, stored in |\bbl@language@stack|. The
%    result of that is that the argument string of |\bbl@pop@lang|
%    contains one or more language names, each followed by a `+'-sign
%    (zero language names won't occur as this macro will only be
%    called after something has been pushed on the stack) followed by
%    the `-'-sign and finally the reference to the stack.
%    \begin{macrocode}$$
  \expandafter\bbl@set@language\expandafter{\languagename}%
  }
%    \end{macrocode}
%    Once the name of the previous language is retrieved from the stack,
%    it is fed to |\bbl@set@language| to do the actual work of
%    switching everything that needs switching.

% \changes{babel~3.6a}{1996/10/16}{Macro added}
%    This macro is defined in two versions. The first version is to be
%    part of the `kernel' of \babel, ie. the part that is loaded in
%    the format; the second version is defined in \file{babel.def}.
%    The version in the format just checks the category code of the
%    ampersand and then loads \file{babel.def}.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\def\LdfInit{%
  \chardef\atcatcode=\catcode`\@
  \catcode`\@=11\relax
  \input babel.def\relax
%    \end{macrocode}
%    The category code of the ampersand is restored and the macro
%    calls itself again with the new definition from
%    \file{babel.def}
%    \begin{macrocode}
  \catcode`\@=\atcatcode \let\atcatcode\relax
  \LdfInit}
%</kernel>
%    \end{macrocode}
%    The second version of this macro takes two arguments. The first
%    argument is the name of the language that will be defined in the
%    language definition file; the second argument is either a control
%    sequence or a string from which a control sequence should be
%    constructed. The existence of the control sequence indicates that
%    the file has been processed before.
%
%    At the start of processing a language definition file we always
%    check the category code of the ampersand. We make sure that it is
%    a `letter' during the processing of the file.
%    \begin{macrocode}
%<*core>
\def\LdfInit#1#2{%
  \chardef\atcatcode=\catcode`\@
  \catcode`\@=11\relax
%    \end{macrocode}
%    Another character that needs to have the correct category code
%    during processing of language definition files is the equals sign,
%    `=', because it is sometimes used in constructions with the
%    |\let| primitive. Therefor we store its current catcode and
%    restore it later on.

%    \begin{macrocode}

  \catcode`\==12\relax
%    \end{macrocode}
%    Now we check whether we should perhaps stop the processing of
%    this file. To do this we first need to check whether the second
%    argument that is passed to |\LdfInit| is a control sequence. We
%    do that by looking at the first token after passing |#2| through
%    |string|. When it is equal to |\@backslashchar| we are dealing
%    with a control sequence which we can compare with |\@undefined|.

                 \expandafter\@car\string#2\@nil

    \else
%    \end{macrocode}
%    If so, we call |\ldf@quit| (but after the end of this |\if|
%    construction) to set the main language, restore the category code
%    of the @-sign and call |\endinput|.
%    \begin{macrocode}
      \def\bbl@tempa{\ldf@quit{#1}}
    \fi
  \else

%
%  \begin{macro}{\bbl@add@special}
% \changes{babel~3.2}{1991/11/10}{Added macro}
%    The macro |\bbl@add@special| is used to add a new character (or
%    single character control sequence) to the macro |\dospecials|
%    (and |\@sanitize| if \LaTeX\ is used).
%
%    To keep all changes local, we begin a new group.  Then we
%    redefine the macros |\do| and |\@makeother| to add themselves and
%    the given character without expansion.
%    \begin{macrocode}
%<*core|shorthands>
\def\bbl@add@special#1{\begingroup
    \def\do{\noexpand\do\noexpand}%
    \def\@makeother{\noexpand\@makeother\noexpand}%
%    \end{macrocode}
%    To add the character to the macros, we expand the original macros
%    with the additional character inside the redefinition of the
%    macros.  Because |\@sanitize| can be undefined, we put the
%    definition inside a conditional.
%    \begin{macrocode}
    \edef\x{\endgroup
      \def\noexpand\dospecials{\dospecials\do#1}%
      \expandafter\ifx\csname @sanitize\endcsname\relax \else
        \def\noexpand\@sanitize{\@sanitize\@makeother#1}%
      \fi}%
%    \end{macrocode}
%    The macro |\x| contains at this moment the following:\\
%    |\endgroup\def\dospecials{|\textit{old contents}%
%    |\do|\meta{char}|}|.\\
%    If |\@sanitize| is defined, it contains an additional definition
%    of this macro.  The last thing we have to do, is the expansion of
%    |\x|.  Then |\endgroup| is executed, which restores the old
%    meaning of |\x|, |\do| and |\@makeother|.  After the group is
%    closed, the new definition of |\dospecials| (and |\@sanitize|) is
%    assigned.

%
%  \begin{macro}{\bbl@remove@special}
% \changes{babel~3.2}{1991/11/10}{Added macro}
%    The companion of the former macro is |\bbl@remove@special|.  It
%    is used to remove a character from the set macros |\dospecials|
%    and |\@sanitize|.
%
%    To keep all changes local, we begin a new group.  Then we define
%    a help macro |\x|, which expands to empty if the characters
%    match, otherwise it expands to its nonexpandable input.  Because
%    \TeX\ inserts a |\relax|, if the corresponding |\else| or |\fi|
%    is scanned before the comparison is evaluated, we provide a `stop
%    sign' which should expand to nothing.

% \changes{babel~3.5a}{1995/02/11}{Added macro}
% \changes{babel~3.5b}{1995/03/03}{Renamed macro}
%    A language definition file can call this macro to make a
%    character active. This macro takes one argument, the character
%    that is to be made active. When the character was already active
%    this macro does nothing. Otherwise, this macro defines the
%    control sequence |\normal@char|\m{char} to expand to the
%    character in its `normal state' and it defines the active
%    character to expand to |\normal@char|\m{char} by default
%    (\m{char} being the character to be made active). Later its
%    definition can be changed to expand to |\active@char|\m{char}
%    by calling |\bbl@activate{|\m{char}|}|.
%
%    For example, to make the double quote character active one could
%    have the following line in a language definition file:
%  \begin{verbatim}
%    \initiate@active@char{"}
%  \end{verbatim}
%
%  \begin{macro}{\bbl@afterelse}
%  \begin{macro}{\bbl@afterfi}
%    Because the code that is used in the handling of active
%    characters may need to look ahead, we take extra care to `throw'
%    it over the |\else| and |\fi| parts of an
%    |\if|-statement\footnote{This code is based on code presented in
%    TUGboat vol. 12, no2, June 1991 in ``An expansion Power Lemma''
%    by Sonja Maus.}. These macros will break if another |\if...\fi|
%    statement appears in one of the arguments.

%    To prevent error messages when a shorthand, which
%    normally takes an argument, sees a |\par|, or |}|, or similar
%    tokens, we need to be able to `peek' at what is coming up next in
%    the input stream. Depending on the category code of the token
%    that is seen, we need to either continue the code for the active
%    character, or insert the non-active version of that character in
%    the output. The macro |\peek@token| therefore takes two
%    arguments, with which it constructs the control sequence to
%    expand next. It |\let|'s |\bbl@nexta| and |\bbl@nextb| to the two
%    possible macros. This is necessary for |\bbl@test@token| to take
%    the right decision.
%    \begin{macrocode}

%    When the result of peeking at the next token has yielded a token

%  \subsection{Support for saving macro definitions}

%    sequence to be saved to construct the temporary name.  Instead we
%    simply use the value of a counter, which is reset to zero each
%    time we begin to save new values.  This works well because we
%    release the saved meanings before we begin to save a new set of
%    control sequence meanings (see |\selectlanguage| and

%  \subsection{Umlauts and trema's}
%
%    The command |\"| needs to have a different effect for different
%    languages. For German for instance, the `umlaut' should be
%    positioned lower than the default position for placing it over
%    the letters a, o, u, A, O and U. When placed over an e, i, E or I
%    it can retain its normal position. For Dutch the same glyph is
%    always placed in the lower position.
%
%  \begin{macro}{\umlauthigh}
% \changes{v3.8a}{2004/02/19}{Use \cs{leavevmode}\cs{bgroup} to
%    prevent problems when this command occurs in vertical mode.}
%  \begin{macro}{\umlautlow}
%    To be able to provide both positions of |\"| we provide two
%    commands to switch the positioning, the default will be
%    |\umlauthigh| (the normal positioning).
%    \begin{macrocode}
\def\umlauthigh{%
  \def\bbl@umlauta##1{\leavevmode\bgroup%
      \expandafter\accent\csname\f@encoding dqpos\endcsname
      ##1\allowhyphens\egroup}%
  \let\bbl@umlaute\bbl@umlauta}
\def\umlautlow{%
  \def\bbl@umlauta{\protect\lower@umlaut}}
\def\umlautelow{%
  \def\bbl@umlaute{\protect\lower@umlaut}}
\umlauthigh
%    \end{macrocode}
%  \end{macro}
%  \end{macro}
%
%  \begin{macro}{\lower@umlaut}
%    The command |\lower@umlaut| is used to position the |\"| closer
%    the the letter.
%
%    We want the umlaut character lowered, nearer to the letter. To do
%    this we need an extra \meta{dimen} register.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\expandafter\ifx\csname U@D\endcsname\relax
  \csname newdimen\endcsname\U@D
\fi
%    \end{macrocode}
%    The following code fools \TeX's \texttt{make\_accent} procedure
%    about the current x-height of the font to force another placement
%    of the umlaut character.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\def\lower@umlaut#1{%
%    \end{macrocode}
%    First we have to save the current x-height of the font, because
%    we'll change this font dimension and this is always done
%    globally.
% \changes{v3.8a}{2004/02/19}{Use \cs{leavevmode}\cs{bgroup} to

%    \begin{macrocode}
  \leavevmode\bgroup
    \U@D 1ex%
%    \end{macrocode}
%    Then we compute the new x-height in such a way that the umlaut
%    character is lowered to the base character.  The value of
%    \texttt{.45ex} depends on the \MF\ parameters with which the
%    fonts were built.  (Just try out, which value will look best.)
%    \begin{macrocode}
    {\setbox\z@\hbox{%
      \expandafter\char\csname\f@encoding dqpos\endcsname}%
      \dimen@ -.45ex\advance\dimen@\ht\z@
%    \end{macrocode}
%    If the new x-height is too low, it is not changed.
%    \begin{macrocode}
      \ifdim 1ex<\dimen@ \fontdimen5\font\dimen@ \fi}%
%    \end{macrocode}
%    Finally we call the |\accent| primitive, reset the old x-height
%    and insert the base character in the argument.

%    \end{macrocode}
%  \end{macro}
%
%    For all vowels we declare |\"| to be a composite command which
%    uses |\bbl@umlauta| or |\bbl@umlaute| to position the umlaut
%    character. We need to be sure that these definitions override the
%    ones that are provided when the package \pkg{fontenc} with
%    option \Lopt{OT1} is used. Therefor these declarations are
%    postponed until the beginning of the document.

%
% \subsection{The redefinition of the style commands}
%
%    The rest of the code in this file can only be processed by
%    \LaTeX, so we check the current format. If it is plain \TeX,
%    processing should stop here. But, because of the need to limit
%    the scope of the definition of |\format|, a macro that is used
%    locally in the following |\if|~statement, this comparison is done
%    inside a group. To prevent \TeX\ from complaining about an
%    unclosed group, the processing of the command |\endinput| is
%    deferred until after the group is closed. This is accomplished by
%    the command |\aftergroup|.
%    \begin{macrocode}
{\def\format{lplain}
\ifx\fmtname\format
\else
  \def\format{LaTeX2e}
  \ifx\fmtname\format
  \else
    \aftergroup\endinput
  \fi
\fi}
%    \end{macrocode}
%
%    Now that we're sure that the code is seen by \LaTeX\ only, we
%    have to find out what the main (primary) document style is
%    because we want to redefine some macros.  This is only necessary
%    for releases of \LaTeX\ dated before December~1991. Therefor
%    this part of the code can optionally be included in
%    \file{babel.def} by specifying the \texttt{docstrip} option
%    \texttt{names}.
%    \begin{macrocode}
%<*names>
%    \end{macrocode}
%
%    The standard styles can be distinguished by checking whether some
%    macros are defined. In table~\ref{styles} an overview is given of
%    the macros that can be used for this purpose.
%  \begin{table}[htb]
%  \begin{center}
% \DeleteShortVerb{\|}
%  \begin{tabular}{|lcp{8cm}|}
%   \hline
%   article         & : & both the \verb+\chapter+ and \verb+\opening+
%                         macros are undefined\\
%   report and book & : & the \verb+\chapter+ macro is defined and
%                         the \verb+\opening+ is undefined\\
%   letter          & : & the \verb+\chapter+ macro is undefined and
%                         the \verb+\opening+ is defined\\
%   \hline
%  \end{tabular}
% \caption{How to determine the main document style}\label{styles}
% \MakeShortVerb{\|}
%  \end{center}
%  \end{table}
%
%    \noindent The macros that have to be redefined for the
%    \texttt{report} and \texttt{book} document styles happen to be
%    the same, so there is no need to distinguish between those two
%    styles.
%
%  \begin{macro}{\doc@style}
%    First a parameter |\doc@style| is defined to identify the current
%    document style. This parameter might have been defined by a
%    document style that already uses macros instead of hard-wired
%    texts, such as \file{artikel1.sty}~\cite{BEP}, so the existence of
%    |\doc@style| is checked. If this macro is undefined, i.\,e., if
%    the document style is unknown and could therefore contain
%    hard-wired texts, |\doc@style| is defined to the default
%    value~`0'.
% \changes{babel~3.0d}{1991/10/29}{Removed use of \cs{@ifundefined}}
%    \begin{macrocode}
\ifx\@undefined\doc@style
  \def\doc@style{0}%
%    \end{macrocode}
%    This parameter is defined in the following \texttt{if}
%    construction (see table~\ref{styles}):
%
%    \begin{macrocode}
  \ifx\@undefined\opening
    \ifx\@undefined\chapter
      \def\doc@style{1}%
    \else
      \def\doc@style{2}%
    \fi
  \else
    \def\doc@style{3}%
  \fi%
\fi%
%    \end{macrocode}
%  \end{macro}
%
% \changes{babel~3.1}{1991/11/05}{Removed definition of
%    \cs{if@restonecol}}
%
%    \subsubsection{Redefinition of macros}
%
%    Now here comes the real work: we start to redefine things and
%    replace hard-wired texts by macros. These redefinitions should be
%    carried out conditionally, in case it has already been done.
%
%    For the \texttt{figure} and \texttt{table} environments we have
%    in all styles:
%    \begin{macrocode}
\@ifundefined{figurename}{\def\fnum@figure{\figurename{} \thefigure}}{}
\@ifundefined{tablename}{\def\fnum@table{\tablename{} \thetable}}{}
%    \end{macrocode}
%
%    The rest of the macros have to be treated differently for each
%    style.  When |\doc@style| still has its default value nothing
%    needs to be done.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\ifcase \doc@style\relax
\or
%    \end{macrocode}
%
%    This means that \file{babel.def} is read after the
%    \texttt{article} style, where no |\chapter| and |\opening|
%    commands are defined\footnote{A fact that was pointed out to me
%    by Nico Poppelier and was already used in Piet van Oostrum's
%    document style option~\texttt{nl}.}.
%
%    First we have the |\tableofcontents|,
%    |\listoffigures| and |\listoftables|:
%    \begin{macrocode}
\@ifundefined{contentsname}%
    {\def\tableofcontents{\section*{\contentsname\@mkboth
          {\uppercase{\contentsname}}{\uppercase{\contentsname}}}%
      \@starttoc{toc}}}{}

\@ifundefined{listfigurename}%
    {\def\listoffigures{\section*{\listfigurename\@mkboth

     \@starttoc{lof}}}{}

\@ifundefined{listtablename}%
    {\def\listoftables{\section*{\listtablename\@mkboth
          {\uppercase{\listtablename}}{\uppercase{\listtablename}}}%
      \@starttoc{lot}}}{}
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% Then the |\thebibliography| and |\theindex| environments.
%
%    \begin{macrocode}
\@ifundefined{refname}%
    {\def\thebibliography#1{\section*{\refname
      \@mkboth{\uppercase{\refname}}{\uppercase{\refname}}}%

        \def\newblock{\hskip.11em plus.33em minus.07em}%

       \thispagestyle{plain}%
       \parskip\z@ plus.3pt\parindent\z@\let\item\@idxitem}}{}
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% The |abstract| environment:
%
%    \begin{macrocode}
\@ifundefined{abstractname}%
    {\def\abstract{\if@twocolumn
    \section*{\abstractname}%
    \else \small
    \begin{center}%
    {\bf \abstractname\vspace{-.5em}\vspace{\z@}}%
    \end{center}%
    \quotation
    \fi}}{}
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% And last but not least, the macro |\part|:
%
%    \begin{macrocode}
\@ifundefined{partname}%
{\def\@part[#1]#2{\ifnum \c@secnumdepth >\m@ne
        \refstepcounter{part}%
        \addcontentsline{toc}{part}{\thepart
        \hspace{1em}#1}\else
      \addcontentsline{toc}{part}{#1}\fi
   {\parindent\z@ \raggedright
    \ifnum \c@secnumdepth >\m@ne
      \Large \bf \partname{} \thepart
      \par \nobreak
    \fi
    \huge \bf
    #2\markboth{}{}\par}%
    \nobreak
    \vskip 3ex\@afterheading}%
}{}
%    \end{macrocode}
%
%    This is all that needs to be done for the \texttt{article} style.
%
%    \begin{macrocode}
\or
%    \end{macrocode}
%
%    The next case is formed by the two styles \texttt{book} and
%    \texttt{report}.  Basically we have to do the same as for the
%    \texttt{article} style, except now we must also change the
%    |\chapter| command.
%
%    The tables of contents, figures and tables:
%    \begin{macrocode}
\@ifundefined{contentsname}%
    {\def\tableofcontents{\@restonecolfalse
      \if@twocolumn\@restonecoltrue\onecolumn
      \fi\chapter*{\contentsname\@mkboth
          {\uppercase{\contentsname}}{\uppercase{\contentsname}}}%
      \@starttoc{toc}%
      \csname if@restonecol\endcsname\twocolumn
      \csname fi\endcsname}}{}

\@ifundefined{listfigurename}%
    {\def\listoffigures{\@restonecolfalse
      \if@twocolumn\@restonecoltrue\onecolumn
      \fi\chapter*{\listfigurename\@mkboth
          {\uppercase{\listfigurename}}{\uppercase{\listfigurename}}}%
      \@starttoc{lof}%
      \csname if@restonecol\endcsname\twocolumn
      \csname fi\endcsname}}{}

\@ifundefined{listtablename}%
    {\def\listoftables{\@restonecolfalse

      \@starttoc{lot}%
      \csname if@restonecol\endcsname\twocolumn
      \csname fi\endcsname}}{}
%    \end{macrocode}
%
%    Again, the |bibliography| and |index| environments; notice that
%    in this case we use |\bibname| instead of |\refname| as in the
%    definitions for the \texttt{article} style.  The reason for this
%    is that in the \texttt{article} document style the term
%    `References' is used in the definition of |\thebibliography|. In
%    the \texttt{report} and \texttt{book} document styles the term
%    `Bibliography' is used.

% \subsection{Cross referencing macros}
%
%    The \LaTeX\ book states:
%  \begin{quote}
%    The \emph{key} argument is any sequence of letters, digits, and
%    punctuation symbols; upper- and lowercase letters are regarded as
%    different.
%  \end{quote}
%    When the above quote should still be true when a document is
%    typeset in a language that has active characters, special care
%    has to be taken of the category codes of these characters when
%    they appear in an argument of the cross referencing macros.
%
%    When a cross referencing command processes its argument, all
%    tokens in this argument should be character tokens with category
%    `letter' or `other'.
%
%    The only way to accomplish this in most cases is to use the trick
%    described in the \TeX book~\cite{DEK} (Appendix~D, page~382).
%    The primitive |\meaning| applied to a token expands to the
%    current meaning of this token.  For example, `|\meaning\A|' with
%    |\A| defined as `|\def\A#1{\B}|' expands to the characters
%    `|macro:#1->\B|' with all category codes set to `other' or
%    `space'.
%
%  \begin{macro}{\bbl@redefine}
% \changes{babel~3.5f}{1995/11/15}{Macro added}
%    To redefine a command, we save the old meaning of the macro.
%    Then we redefine it to call the original macro with the
%    `sanitized' argument.  The reason why we do it this way is that
%    we don't want to redefine the \LaTeX\ macros completely in case
%    their definitions change (they have changed in the past).
%
%    Because we need to redefine a number of commands we define the
%    command |\bbl@redefine| which takes care of this. It creates a
%    new control sequence, |\org@...|
%    \begin{macrocode}
%<*core|shorthands>
\def\bbl@redefine#1{%
  \edef\bbl@tempa{\expandafter\@gobble\string#1}%

%
%  \begin{macro}{\bbl@redefinerobust}
% \changes{babel~3.5f}{1995/11/15}{Macro added}
%    For commands that are redefined, but which \textit{might} be
%    robust we need a slightly more intelligent macro. A robust
%    command |foo| is defined to expand to |\protect|\verb*|\foo |. So
%    it is necessary to check whether \verb*|\foo | exists.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\def\bbl@redefinerobust#1{%
  \edef\bbl@tempa{\expandafter\@gobble\string#1}%

                    \csname\bbl@tempa\space\endcsname
  \fi
%    \end{macrocode}
%    The result of the code above is that the command that is being
%    redefined is always robust afterwards. Therefor all we need to do
%    now is define \verb*|\foo |.

%    these commands will not be expanded by using |\edef| later
%    on, and we make sure that the text is typeset using the

%    added to circumvent problems with \cs{pageref} in the argument of
%    \cs{isodd}}
%    Sometimes a document writer wants to create a special effect
%    depending on the page a certain fragment of text appears on. This
%    can be achieved by the following piece of code:
% \begin{verbatim}
%    \ifthenelse{\isodd{\pageref{some:label}}}
%               {code for odd pages}
%               {code for even pages}
% \end{verbatim}
%    In order for this to work the argument of |\isodd| needs to be
%    fully expandable. With the above redefinition of |\pageref| it is
%    not in the case of this example. To overcome that, we add some
%    code to the definition of |\ifthenelse| to make things work.
%
%    The first thing we need to do is check if the package
%    \pkg{ifthen} is loaded. This should be done at |\begin{document}|
%    time.
%    \begin{macrocode}
%<*package>

      \let\pageref\org@pageref

%    When the package varioref is in use we need to modify its

      \org@vrefpagenum{#1}{#2}%

%    \end{macrocode}
%    The package \pkg{varioref} defines |\Ref| to be a robust command
%    wich uppercases the first character of the reference text. In
%    order to be able to do that it needs to access the exandable form
%    of |\ref|. So we employ a little trick here. We redefine the
%    (internal) command \verb*|\Ref | to call |\org@ref| instead of
%    |\ref|. The disadvantgage of this solution is that whenever the
%    derfinition of |\Ref| changes, this definition needs to be updated
%    as well.

%  \subsubsection{\pkg{hhline}}
%
%  \begin{macro}{\hhline}
%    Delaying the activation of the shorthand characters has introduced
%    a problem with the \pkg{hhline} package. The reason is that it
%    uses the `:' character which is made active by the french support
%    in \babel. Therefor we need to \emph{reload} the package when
%    the `:' is an active character.
%
%    So at |\begin{document}| we check whether \pkg{hhline} is loaded.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\AtBeginDocument{%
  \@ifpackageloaded{hhline}%

%    \end{macrocode}
%    In that case we simply reload the package. Note that this happens
