The dblatex 0.2.12 release is now available

[azur]

My language is Spanish. Sorry for errors...

The last release of 'dblatex' package (0.2.12) is available from August, 2009, and available for download. The current version of this package on MEPIS 8 is (0.2.9-3). This is my first post and I do not ability to write URLs, but the respective information is in 'SourceForge.net' site.

As the referred last release contains several good changes I need for work, I was wandering the possibility to trust you to make a package for me.

Waiting your response I appreciate your attention.

OK, I have rebuilt the package from Debian Testing for you. I changed a dependency from python-apt (>= 0.7.9) to the current Lenny version (0.7.7) to make it quick and easy to build, but I don't know what may happen as a result.

If you have problems because of this, let me know, and I'll try backporting python-apt also.

I have the new package installed and running as expected.

Very many thanks.

The Spanish hyphenation feature of 'dblatex' does not work as expected (so much in the new release of 'dblatex' as in the old).

I did testing, and on /var/tmp/.../mybook.log I did find the following messages:

Package babel Warning: No hyphenation patterns were loaded for
(babel) the language `Spanish'
(babel) I will use the patterns loaded for \language=0 instead.

Do you know how to resolve this?

Thanks newly.

I found this in the Manual at the Sourceforge site:

Babel Languages

Dblatex should be able to handle most of the languages supported by the babel package. Just set the lang=lang attribute in the root document element and dblatex will load the appropriate babel language.


I really don't know what the "root document element" is, to tell the truth...


I think I see your same question on the dblatex mailing list, and the answer is a lot more knowledgable than anything I can provide.

Hi, I received from the list mentioned by you the recommendation of install the package 'texlive-lang-spanish' and this solved the problem.

The "root document element", is simply a declaration of language feature that should be used in all documents elaborated with Docbook. I did make this declaration, but it did not be sufficient. For this reason, I suggested the citation of 'texlive-lang-spanish' package in the Debian recommendations for 'dblatex' install.

Thanks newly and best regards.
