New try at multi-lingual export to latex/pdf using pdflatex and babel

New try at multi-lingual export to latex/pdf using pdflatex and babel

Hi,

hopefully this is more informative. It complements the =polyglossia=
example with some =babel= that can be compiled with pdflatex.

Cheers, /PA

Maybe just /translated/? Bold is usually considered too strong
typographically.

Also, I do not really understand what you mean by "translated" here.

I think this example doesn't take advantage of the AUTO facility, which
is what the section is about. Btw, maybe it would be nice to extend ''AUTO'' to
latex_class_options and \PassOptionsToPackage? Something like:

#+latex_class_options: [greek,AUTO,oneside]
#+language: es
...

However, I would only find the \PassOptionsToPackage command useful in
classes that already load babel with a main language. From Org, using
just pdfTeX, I think it would be simpler:

#+language: es
#+latex_header: \usepackage[greek,AUTO]{babel}
#+latex_header: \usepackage{alphabeta} % to support greek script

or this variant, using babelprovide and an INI file:

#+language: es
#+latex_header: \usepackage[greek]{babel}
#+latex_header: \babelprovide[import,main]{AUTO}
#+latex_header: \usepackage{alphabeta}

HI Juan Manuel,

you are absolutely right. There are many things that should improve in the
LaTeX exporter and simplifying language treatment is one of them. What I
show in my example is how to circumvent all the limitations in the exporter
and give a working example for people who need it.

 Adding AUTO to latex_class_options would be extremely helpful, since then
you can load babel indicating the main language only and even avoid the
PassOptions and can live with \usepackage{alphabeta} only.
This is a MWE for mixing German and Greek which I use to compare with what
org-mode generates:

---cut---
\documentclass[greek,ngerman]{scrartcl}
%% \documentclass[greek,ngerman]{scrreprt}
%% \documentclass[greek,ngerman]{scrbook}
%% \documentclass[greek,ngerman]{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[ngerman]{babel}
%% \PassOptionsToPackage{main=ngerman}{babel}
\usepackage{alphabeta}

\begin{document}
Ach, unsere Freunde die Griechen: \textgreek{νους} (mit
\verb|\textgreek{}|).\par
Ach, unsere Freunde die Griechen: νους (direkt im Text).
\end{document}
---cut---
The commented document classes are all I had the time to test.

Best, /PA

PS: This is a very limited example. It would be nice to have more control
on fontenc. AFAIK there is not alphabeta for cyrillic encodings and
typesetting 'War and Peace' with its passages in French embedded in the
Russian text is sort of a headache ;-)

For scripts other than Latin it is highly recommended to use the 'new'
Unicode versions of TeX, XeTeX or LuaTeX, especially the latter, since
it is the natural replacement for pdfTeX. The input is Unicode and you
can easily use true type or opentype fonts via the fontspec package.
Babel already has full support for these engines and it is not necessary
to use polyglossia. Even with Babel you can associate fonts with certain
scripts such as Greek, Cyrillic, Devanagari, etc. Look at this example I
made with several scripts and several fonts:
https://i.imgur.com/56P6U0R.png

I'm currently working on Org having multilingual font and script support
in LaTeX export with LuaTeX and babel. Although now I have put it on
hold due to lack of time :-). And Ihor is working on a much more
flexible language naming system. These are issues that were discussed,
among others, in this thread:

https://list.orgmode.org/878r9t7x7y.fsf@posteo.net/

Regarding your patch example, is there any special reason for you to
load the languages in the class options? It's perfectly valid, although,
as I said, it's not supported by org's AUTO facility (at the moment). I
understand that it is useful when the document is monolingual, but for
more than one language I find it unnecessary and, in addition to loading the
options with \PassOptionsToPackage.

Best regards,

Juan Manuel

I would give an example that did include the AUTO 'facility', to unify
with the rest of the examples in the section:

#+language: es
#+latex_header: \usepackage[greek,ngerman,AUTO]{babel}
#+latex_header: \usepackage{alphabeta} % to support greek script

It is also said in the patch that this example is for pdfTeX, but it
works equally well for LuaTeX and XeTeX, since Babel and alphabeta
packages support both engines. However, the alphabeta package is not a
specific package for writing texts in Greek. Rather, according to the
package documentation: "The alphabeta package makes the standard macros
for Greek letters in mathematical mode also available in text mode." In
pdfTeX it is useful because you can enter the Greek input directly in
Unicode. But in LuaTeX or XeTeX it would be unnecessary, since Greek can
be written directly, without the help of additional packages.

My knowledge of LaTeX (and Elisp) has huge gaps :-). Of course, I am
willing to learn everything I can. And, naturally, I would like to help
in any way I can. But my main problem (currently) is the lack of time to
dedicate myself to it. My presence on this list is intermittent, and
that for a maintainer is horrible. Maybe in a few months (spring
perhaps), when my personal situation stabilizes a little, I could
consider it...

Best regards,

Juan Manuel

Hi,

Attached is a _proof of concept_ for supporting AUTO in
\usepackage{fontenc}. Just an idea of how things could evolve.
This only uses a variable you can define as directory or file local to
control what is generated in the LaTeX file.
Could be expanded in the future to check #+language:

Is there a list of available values somewhere?
https://latexref.xyz/fontenc-package.html only lists OT1, OMS, OML, T1,
and TS1. However, many more are clearly available.

Hi again

As stated, this was only a PoC. If you find it useful, I would give it a 
go in the free window. I'm also playing with 
org-latex-default-packages-alist, refining it to use fontspec in 
lualatex and xetex and restricting inputenc and fontenc to pdflatex only.

I understand.
My question is to clarify how useful it is.
Because I am not deeply familiar with how fontenc works for non-English
languages, it is hard to judge how useful it will be in practice.

Aren't inputenc and fontenc already restricted to pdflatex only?

Hi

I've been reading a bit. What I propose is an alternative way to handle 
all the tricky parts of font and character handling with fontspec in 
lualatex and xetex. This package restricts the use of the ams* packages 
to pdflatex, because fontenc handles that internally and produces 
package collisions.

Attached is the final version of the patch.

Thanks!
May you also add a comment to the code explaining the rationale right there?

Sorry, I was not clear.
I did not mean to ask about amending the docstring.
I meant literal code comments, explaining why we have duplicate amsmath
entries and why we restrict certain packages to specific compilers.

Also, the above quoted paragraph with rationale of the patch should go
into the commit message. See

* lisp/org.el: Change `org-latex-default-packages-alist' to
refine font management depending on the latex compiler.

Differentiate between pdflatex and lualatex/xetex
packages for font management. lualatex/xetex should use
fontspec instead of fontenc/inputenc. When using
fontspec, you need to load amsmath before fontspec 
and you don't need amssymb.

Thanks!
Applied, onto main. I cleaned up irrelevant whitespace changes and
amended the commit message, adding double space between sentences,
fixing the changelog entry, and indicating what part of Org the patch

Awesome, thanks! Could we back-port that to the emacs-sync tree? The sooner
we have it emacs for

I do not view this as a trivial or critical change. Hence, for next
release only.

AFAIU, Juan's questions about the patch have not been addressed, and the
discussion branched into a slightly different topic (not changes to the
manual).

Should I cancel this patch?

Hi Ihor,

yes, you are right. The whole thread went astray.
However, I think it might be interesting to keep this as an alternative to
the AUTO stuff...

Anyhow, I'm open to cancelling the patch

Best, /PA

From my point of view, you did not address/reply to

"I think this example doesn't take advantage of the AUTO facility, which
   is what the section is about."

When you do, we can continue moving the proposed patch forward.

I agree it does not take advantage of the AUTO facility here, but I
nevertheless think it would
be interesting to show people how to do this. Until we expand the AUTO
facility to cope with
all quirks of multi-language in pdflatex (lualatex and xetex are a
different pair of shoes), a quick
and dirty alternative may be helpful for people. The introductory text
could be

+An alternative approach using ~pdflatex~ and ~babel~ and mixing Latin and
+Greek fonts in the document using the =\PassOptionsToPackage= command
+from =babel= and avoiding the AUTO keyword would be:

instead of:

+Another example using ~pdflatex~ and ~babel~ and mixing Latin and
+Greek fonts in the document using the =\PassOptionsToPackage= command
+from =babel= would be:

Having this example at hand can solve issues until we fully agree on and
implement
AUTO through all the packages involved in multi-language documents in LaTeX.

@Juan: Thanks again for kicking me awake. I'm moving on most of my projects
to
lualatex ;-)

When you do, we can continue moving the proposed patch forward.

Pedro, the only problem I see with that is that it is an example of
LaTeX rather than Org. The only Org part here is #+LaTeX_header, and in
the entire section it's already made clear enough what it's used for.

Perhaps a brief reminder (the AUTO facility of the previous examples
is very limited) could be added first, and that if the users want to
obtain more complex, or more specific results (like the case you
exemplify for pdfLaTeX) they must put explicit LaTeX code, using
LaTeX_header. And then your example would come, but emphasizing that the
LaTeX documentation must be consulted. wdyt?

My point is that if we abuse examples of this type (at the expense of
"#+latex_header:something"), or "how is this done in LaTeX?", in the end
a LaTeX manual is made instead of Org.

I'm glad you enjoyed the jump to LuaTeX. :-)

Best regards,

Juan Manuel
