%  \section{The Latin language}
%
%    The file \file{\filename}\footnote{The file described in this
%    section has version number \fileversion\ and was last revised on
%    \filedate. The original author is  Claudio Beccari with
%    contributions by Krzysztof Konrad \.Zelechowski,
%    (\texttt{kkz@alfa.mimuw.edu.pl})} defines all the
%    language-specific macros for the Latin language both in modern
%    and medieval spelling. 
%
%    For this language two ``styles'' of typesetting are implemented:
%    ``regular'' or modern-spelling Latin, and medieval Latin.
%    The medieval Latin specific commands can be activated by means of
%    the language attribute |medieval|; the medieval spelling differs
%    from the modern one by the systematic use of the lower case `u'
%    also where in modern spelling the letter `v' is used; when
%    typesetting with capital letters, on the opposite, the letter 'V'
%    is used also in place of 'U'. 
%    Medieval spelling also includes the ligatures |\ae| (\ae), |\oe|
%    (\oe), |\AE| (\AE), and |\OE| (\OE) that are not used  in modern
%    spelling, nor were used in the classical times.
%
%    Furthermore a third typesetting style |withprosodicmarks| is
%    defined in order to use special shortcuts for inserting breves
%    and macrons when typesetting grammars, dictionaries, teaching
%    texts, and the like, where prosodic marks are important for the
%    complete information on the words or the verses. The shortcuts,
%    listed in table~\ref{t:lashrtct} and described in
%    section~\ref{s:shrtcts}, may interfere with other packages;
%    therefore by default this third style is off and no interference
%    is introduced. If this third style is used and interference is
%    experienced, there are special commands for turning on and off
%    the specific short hand commands of this style.
%
%    For what concerns \textsf{babel} and typesetting with \LaTeX, the
%    differences between the two styles of spelling reveal themselves
%    in the strings used to name for example the ``Preface'' that
%    becomes ``Praefatio'' or ``Pr\ae fatio'' respectively.
%    Hyphenation rules are also different, but the hyphenation pattern
%    file \file{lahyph.tex} takes care of both versions of the
%    language. Needless to say that such patterns must be loaded in
%    the \LaTeX\ format by by running |initex| (or whatever the name
%    of the initializer) on |latex.ltx|.
%
%    The name strings for chapters, figures, tables, etcetera, are
%    suggested by prof. Raffaella Tabacco, a classicist of the
%    University of Turin, Italy, to whom we address our warmest
%    thanks. The names suggested by Krzysztof Konrad \.Zelechowski,
%    when different, are used as the names for the medieval variety,
%    since he made a word and spelling choice more suited for this
%    variety.
%
%    For this language some shortcuts are defined according to
%    table~\ref{t:lashrtct}; all of them are supposed to work with
%    both spelling styles, except where the opposite is explicitly
%    stated.
%    \begin{table}[htb]\centering
%    \begin{tabular}{cp{80mm}}
%    |^i|   & inserts the breve accent as \u{\i}; valid also for the
%             other lowercase vowels, but it does not operate on the
%             medieval ligatures \ae\ and \oe.\\
%    |=a|   & inserts the macron accent as \=a; valid also for the
%             other lowercase vowels, but it does not operate on the
%              medieval ligatures \ae\ and \oe.\\
%    |"|    & inserts a compound word mark where hyphenation is legal;
%             the next character must not be a medieval ligature \ae\
%             or \oe, nor an accented letter (foreign names).\\ 
%    \texttt{\string"\string|}
%           & same as above, but operates also when the next character
%             is a medieval ligature or an accented letter.
%    \end{tabular}
%    \caption[]{Shortcuts defined for the Latin language. The
%               characters \texttt{\string^} and \texttt{\string=} are
%               active only when the language attribute
%               \texttt{withprosodicmarks} has been declared,
%               otherwise they are disabled; see
%               section~\ref{s:shrtcts} for more details.}%
%    \label{t:lashrtct} 
%    \end{table}
% \StopEventually{}
%
%    The macro |\LdfInit| takes care of preventing that this file is
%    loaded more than once, checking the category code of the
%    \texttt{@} sign, etc.
%    \begin{macrocode}
%<*code>
\LdfInit{latin}{captionslatin}
%    \end{macrocode}
%
%    When this file is read as an option, i.e. by the |\usepackage|
%    command, \texttt{latin} will be an `unknown' language in which
%    case we have to make it known.  So we check for the existence of
%    |\l@latin| to see whether we have to do something here.
%
%    \begin{macrocode}
\ifx\l@latin\@undefined
    \@nopatterns{Latin}
    \adddialect\l@latin0\fi
%    \end{macrocode}
%
%
%    Now we declare the |medieval| language attribute.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\bbl@declare@ttribute{latin}{medieval}{%
  \addto\captionslatin{\def\prefacename{Pr{\ae}fatio}}%
  \def\november{Nouembris}%
  \expandafter\addto\expandafter\extraslatin
  \expandafter{\extrasmedievallatin}%
  }
%    \end{macrocode}
%
%    The third typesetting style |withprosodicmarks| is defined here
%    \begin{macrocode}
\bbl@declare@ttribute{latin}{withprosodicmarks}{%
  \expandafter\addto\expandafter\extraslatin
  \expandafter{\extraswithprosodicmarks}%
  }
%    \end{macrocode}
%    It must be remembered that the |medieval| and the |withprosodicmarks|
%    styles may be used together.
%
%    The next step consists of defining commands to switch to (and
%    from) the Latin language\footnote{Most of these names were
%    kindly suggested by Raffaella Tabacco.}.
%
% \begin{macro}{\captionslatin}
%    The macro |\captionslatin| defines all strings used
%    in the four standard document classes provided with \LaTeX.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\@namedef{captionslatin}{%
  \def\prefacename{Praefatio}%
  \def\refname{Conspectus librorum}%
  \def\abstractname{Summarium}%
  \def\bibname{Conspectus librorum}%
  \def\chaptername{Caput}%
  \def\appendixname{Additamentum}%
  \def\contentsname{Index}%
  \def\listfigurename{Conspectus descriptionum}%
  \def\listtablename{Conspectus tabularum}%
  \def\indexname{Index rerum notabilium}%
  \def\figurename{Descriptio}%
  \def\tablename{Tabula}%
  \def\partname{Pars}%
  \def\enclname{Adduntur}%   Or " Additur" ? Or simply Add.?
  \def\ccname{Exemplar}%     Use the recipient's dative
  \def\headtoname{\ignorespaces}% Use the recipient's dative
  \def\pagename{Charta}%
  \def\seename{cfr.}%
  \def\alsoname{cfr.}% R.Tabacco never saw "cfr. atque" or similar forms
  \def\proofname{Demonstratio}%
  \def\glossaryname{Glossarium}%
  }
%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{macro}
%    In the above definitions there are some points that might change
%    in the future or that require a minimum of attention from the
%    typesetter.
%    \begin{enumerate}
%    \item the \cs{enclname} is translated by a passive verb, that
%      literally means ``(they) are being added''; if just one
%      enclosure is joined to the document, the plural passive is not
%      suited any more; nevertheless a generic plural passive might be
%      incorrect but suited for most circumstances. On the opposite
%    ``Additur'', the corresponding singular passive, might be more
%      correct with one enclosure and less suited in general: what
%      about the abbreviation ``Add.'' that works in both cases, but
%      certainly is less elegant?
%    \item The \cs{headtoname} is empty and gobbles the possible
%      following space; in practice the typesetter should use the
%      dative of the recipient's name; since nowadays not all such
%      names can be translated into Latin, they might result
%      indeclinable. The clever use of an appellative by the
%      typesetter such as ``Domino'' or ``Dominae'' might solve the
%      problem, but the header might get too impressive. The typesetter
%      must make a decision on his own. 
%    \item The same holds true for the copy recipient's name in the
%      ``Cc'' field of \cs{ccname}.
%    \end{enumerate}
%
%  \begin{macro}{\datelatin}
%    The macro |\datelatin| redefines the command |\today| to produce
%    Latin dates; the choice of faked small caps  Latin numerals is
%    arbitrary and may be changed in the future. For medieval latin
%    the spelling of `Novembris' should be \textit{Nouembris}. This is
%    taken care of by using a control sequence which can be redefined
%    when the attribute `medieval' is selected.
% \changes{latin-2.0f}{2005/03/30}{Added a comment character to

%
% \begin{macro}{\romandate}
%    Thomas Martin Widmann (\texttt{viralbus@daimi.au.dk}) developed a

%    |\romandate| so as not to conflict with the standard \babel\
%    conventions) that should compute and translate the current date
%    into a date \textit{ab urbe condita} with days numbered according
%    to the kalendae and idus; for the moment this is a placeholder
%    for Thomas' macro, waiting for a self standing one that keeps
%    local all the intermediate data, counters, etc. If he succeeds,
%    here is the place to add his macro.
% \end{macro}
%
%  \begin{macro}{\latinhyphenmins}
%    The Latin hyphenation patterns can be used with both
%    |\lefthyphenmin| and |\righthyphenmin| set to~2.
% \changes{latin-2.0a}{2000/10/15}{Now use \cs{providehyphenmins} to

%    \end{macrocode}
%  \end{macro}
%
% \begin{macro}{\extraslatin}
% \begin{macro}{\noextraslatin}
%    For this language the |\clubpenalty|, |\widowpenalty| are set to
%    rather high values and |\finalhyphendemerits| is set to such a
%    high value that hyphenation is prohibited between the last two
%    lines of a paragraph. 
%    \begin{macrocode}
\addto\extraslatin{%
  \babel@savevariable\clubpenalty
  \babel@savevariable\widowpenalty
  \clubpenalty3000\widowpenalty3000}
%    \end{macrocode}

  \finalhyphendemerits50000000}
%    \end{macrocode}
%  \end{macro}
%  \end{macro}
%
%    With medieval Latin we need the suitable correspondence between
%    upper case V and lower case u, since in that spelling there is
%    only one sign, and the u shape is the (uncial) version of the
%    capital V. Everything else is identical with Latin.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\addto\extrasmedievallatin{%
\babel@savevariable{\lccode`\V}%
\babel@savevariable{\uccode`\u}%
\lccode`\V=`\u \uccode`\u=`\V}
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% \begin{macro}{\SetLatinLigatures}
%    We need also the lccodes for \ae\ and \oe; since they occupy
%    different positions in the OT1 \TeX-fontencoding compared to the
%    T1 one, we must save the lc- and the uccodes for both encodings,
%    but we specify the new lc- and uccodes separately as it appears
%    natural not to change encoding while typesetting the same
%    language. The encoding is assumed to be set before starting to
%    use the Latin language, so that if Latin is the default language,
%    the font encoding must be chosen before requiring the \pkg{babel}
%    package with the |latin| option, in any case before any
%    |\selectlanguage| or |\foreignlanguage| command.
%
%    All this fuss is made in order to allow the use of the medieval
%    ligatures \ae\ and \oe\ while typesetting with the medieval
%    spelling; I have my doubts that the medieval spelling should be
%    used at all in modern books, reports, and the like, as the uncial
%    `u' shape of the lower case `v'  and the above ligatures were
%    fancy styles of the copyists who were able to write faster with
%    those rounded glyphs; with typesetting there is no question of
%    handling a quill penn\dots Since my (CB) opinion may be wrong, I
%    managed to set up the instruments and it is up to the typesetter
%    to use them or not.

%    \end{macro}
%
%    \section{Latin shortcuts}\label{s:shrtcts}
%    For writing dictionaries or didactic texts we defined a third
%    language attribute, or a third typesetting style, where a couple
%    of other active characters are defined: |^| for marking a vowel
%    with the breve sign, and |=| for marking a vowel with the macro
%    sign. Please take notice that neither the OT1 font encoding, nor
%    the T1 one for most vowels, contain directly the marked vowels,
%    therefore hyphenation of words containing these ``accents'' may
%    become problematic; for this reason the above active characters
%    not only introduce the  required accent, but also the necessary
%    code for allowing hyphenation in the rest of the word.
%
%    It must be remarked that the active characters |^| and |=| may
%    have other meanings in other contexts. For example the equals
%    sign is used by the graphic extensions for specifying keyword
%    options for handling the graphic elements to be included in the
%    document. At the same time, as mentioned in the previous
%    paragraph, diacritical marking in Latin is used only for
%    typesetting certain kind of documents, such as grammars and
%    dictionaries. It is reasonable that the breve and macron active
%    characters may be switched on and off at will, and in particular
%    that they are off by default if the attribute |withprosodicmarks|
%    has not been set.
%
%    \begin{macro}{\ProsodicMarksOn}
%    \begin{macro}{\ProsodicMarksOff}
%    We begin by adding to the normal typesetting style the
%    definitions of the new commands |\ProsodicMarksOn| and
%    |\ProsodicMarksOff| that should produce error messages when the
%    third style is not declared: 
%    \begin{macrocode}
\addto\extraslatin{\def\ProsodicMarksOn{%
\GenericError{(latin)\@spaces\@spaces\@spaces\@spaces}%
            {Latin language error: \string\ProsodicMarksOn\space
            is defined by setting the\MessageBreak
            language attribute to `withprosodicmarks'\MessageBreak
            If you continue you are likely to encounter\MessageBreak
            fatal errors that I can't recover}%
            {See the Latin language description in the babel
            documentation for explanation}{\@ehd}}}
\addto\extraslatin{\let\ProsodicMarksOff\relax}
%    \end{macrocode}
%
%    Then we temporarily set the caret and the equals sign to active
%    characters so that they can receive their definitions:
%    \begin{macrocode}
\catcode`\= \active
\catcode`\^ \active
%    \end{macrocode}
%    and we add the necessary declarations to the macros that are
%    being activated when the Latin language and its typesetting
%    styles are declared:
%    \begin{macrocode}
\addto\extraslatin{\languageshorthands{latin}}%
\addto\extraswithprosodicmarks{\bbl@activate{^}}%
\addto\extraswithprosodicmarks{\bbl@activate{=}}%
\addto\noextraswithprosodicmarks{\bbl@deactivate{^}}%
\addto\noextraswithprosodicmarks{\bbl@deactivate{=}}%
\addto\extraswithprosodicmarks{\ProsodicMarks}
%    \end{macrocode}
%
%    \begin{macro}{\ProsodicMarks}
%    Next we define the defining macro for the active characters
%    \begin{macrocode}
\def\ProsodicMarks{%
\def\ProsodicMarksOn{\catcode`\^ 13\catcode`\= 13\relax}%
\def\ProsodicMarksOff{\catcode`\^ 7\catcode`\= 12\relax}%
%    \end{macrocode}
%    Notice that with the above redefinitions of the commands
%    |\ProsodicMarksOn| and |\ProsodicMarksOff|, the operation of the
%    newly defined shortcuts may be switched on and off at will, so
%    that even if a picture has to be inserted in the document by
%    means of the commands and keyword options of the |graphicx|
%    package, it suffices to switch them off before invoking the
%    picture including command, and switched on again afterwards; or,
%    even better, since the picture very likely is being inserted
%    within a |figure| environment, it suffices to switch them off
%    within the environment, being conscious that their deactivation
%    remains local to the environment.

%    Notice that the short hand definitions are given only for lower

%    definitions to upper case letters, but it appears of very little
%    use in view of the kind of documents where prosodic marks are
%    supposed to be used. Nevertheless in those rare cases when it's
%    required to set some uppercase letters with their prosodic
%    marks, it is always possible to use the standard \LaTeX\ commands
%    such as  |\u{I}| for typesetting \u{I}, or |\={A}| for

%    \section{Etymological hyphenation}
%    In order to deal in a clean way with prefixes and compound words
%    to be divided  etymologically, the active character |"| is given
%    a special definition so as to behave as a discretionary break
%    with hyphenation allowed after it. 
%    Most of the code for dealing with the active |"| is already
%    contained in the core of \babel, but we are going to use it as a
%    single character shorthand for Latin.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\initiate@active@char{"}%
\addto\extraslatin{\bbl@activate{"}%
}
%    \end{macrocode}
%
%    A temporary macro is defined so as to take different actions in
%    math mode and text mode: specifically in the former case the
%    macro inserts a double quote as it should in math mode, otherwise
%    another delayed macro comes into action.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\declare@shorthand{latin}{"}{%
  \ifmmode
    \def\lt@@next{''}%
  \else
    \def\lt@@next{\futurelet\lt@temp\lt@cwm}%
  \fi
  \lt@@next
}%
%    \end{macrocode}
%    In text mode the \cs{lt@next} control sequence is such that upon
%    its execution a temporary variable \cs{lt@temp} is made
%    equivalent to the next token in the input list without actually
%    removing it. Such temporary token is then tested by the macro
%    \cs{lt@cwm} and if it is found to be a letter token, then it
%    introduces a compound word separator control sequence
%    \cs{lt@allowhyphens} whose expansion introduces a discretionary
%    hyphen and an unbreakable space; in case the token is not a
%    letter, the token is tested again to find if it is the character
%    \texttt{\string|}, in which case it is gobbled and a
%    discretionary break is introduced.
% \changes{latin-2.0g}{2005/11/17}{Added a \cs{nobreak}}
%    \begin{macrocode}
\def\lt@allowhyphens{\nobreak\discretionary{-}{}{}\nobreak\hskip\z@skip}
\newcommand*{\lt@cwm}{\let\lt@n@xt\relax
  \ifcat\noexpand\lt@temp a%
    \let\lt@n@xt\lt@allowhyphens
  \else
    \if\noexpand\lt@temp\string|%
      \def\lt@n@xt{\lt@allowhyphens\@gobble}%
    \fi
  \fi
  \lt@n@xt}%
%    \end{macrocode}
%
%    Attention: the category code comparison does not work if the
%    temporary control sequence \cs{lt@temp} has been let equal to  an
%    implicit character, such as |\ae|; therefore this etymological
%    hyphenation facility does not work with medieval Latin spelling
%    when |"| immediately precedes a ligature. in order to overcome
%    this drawback the shorthand \verb!"|! may be used in such  cases;
%    it behaves exactly as |"|, but it does not test the implicit
%    character control sequence. An input such as
%    \verb!super"|{\ae}quitas!\footnote{This word does not exist in
%    ``regular'' Latin, and it is used just as an example.} 
%    gets hyphenated as \texttt{su-per-{\ae}qui-tas} instead of
%    \texttt{su-pe-r\ae-qui-tas}.
%
%    The macro |\ldf@finish| takes care of looking for a
%    configuration file, setting the main language to be switched on
%    at |\begin{document}| and resetting the category code of
%    \texttt{@} to its original value.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\ldf@finish{latin}
