$ This file is to specify special formatting characteristics of a
|
||
$ language. It defines which characters of the language can not end a
|
||
$ line of text, begin a line of text or whether to replace internal
|
||
$ newlines with spaces.
|
||
|
||
$ This file is ONLY necessary for languages with MULTIBYTE character
|
||
$ sets. For single byte character sets (I.E. English, German, French,
|
||
$ etc.), the system has a built in default list of characters that can
|
||
$ not begin and end a line. For single byte languages, the system will
|
||
$ also always replace newlines with spaces.
|
||
$
|
||
$ This table is for <???>
|
||
$
|
||
$ message #1 indicates the list of 2byte punctuation, special characters
|
||
$ and double consonants that cannot start a line.
|
||
$
|
||
1 <20><place list here>
|
||
|
||
$
|
||
$ message #2 indicates the list of 2byte punctuation, special characters
|
||
$ and double consonants that cannot end a line.
|
||
$
|
||
2 <20><place list here>
|
||
|
||
$
|
||
$ message #3 indicates whether the language wants all end-of-lines in
|
||
$ text to be changed into spaces. I.E. in english if you had
|
||
$
|
||
$ 'the quick brown fox'
|
||
$ 'jumps over the lazy dog'
|
||
$
|
||
$ would be output as 'the quick brown fox jumps....'. If this was
|
||
$ translated into Japanese but leaving the break where it appeared in the
|
||
$ sentence, the newline between 'fox' and 'jumps' would be compressed out
|
||
$ and no space would be put between the two words. But if 'fox' was in
|
||
$ Japanese and 'jump' was in english, the newline would be turned into a
|
||
$ space. The same (newline -> space) would occur if 'fox' was in english
|
||
$ and 'jumps' was in Japanese.
|
||
$
|
||
$ Therefore, the values for message #3 should be
|
||
$ 1 - means that newlines are always turned into spaces.
|
||
$ 0 - means that newlines are turned into space only if they
|
||
$ occur between a multibyte character and a single byte
|
||
$ character.
|
||
$ Example:
|
||
$ For Japanese, the 'value' of message #3 would be '0'
|
||
$
