F. Beebe" Sender: Mailing list for the LaTeX3 project To: Multiple recipients of list LATEX-L Subject: Quotation character conventions, and TeX/LaTeX support thereof Status: R X-Status: X-Keywords: X-UID: 2665 I have just read a new document ``Quotation Character Semantics'', available on the Web at http://www.unicode.org/unicode/uni2errata/QuoteErrata.html This document discusses quotation character conventions in several European languages, and a related document ``Apostrophe Semantics'' at http://www.unicode.org/unicode/uni2errata/Apostrophe.htm discusses issues that appear when more than one apostrophe-like character is available for use, as is the case in Unicode. I raise these issues on the tex-implementors and latex-l lists because I believe they are relevant for TeX markup of documents, and for the LaTeX-3 design. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Nelson H.
