Subject: Multilingual quotes inside paragraphs
Date: Mon, 26 Jul 2021 09:25:04 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87mtq9zatr.fsf@posteo.net> (raw)
Hi all,
I'm experimenting with `org-link-set-parameters' to create multilingual
quotes (chunks of text) inside paragraphs. Although I focus mainly on
the export to LaTeX with babel and csquotes packages, I also want extend
support for HTML and odt output. I leave here some sketches.
For the `:face' parameter I use for laziness a face already defined in
Magit :-). `:display' with the value 'full can be removed.
First, we have the LaTeX babel command \foreignlanguage{lang}{chunk of
text}. The language can be expressed by abbreviation ("de" for German;
here I reuse `org-latex-babel-language-alist') or explicitly preceded by
a "!": "!german" (the reason for the latter is that in babel we can
define new languages):
[[lang:de][some text in German]]
or
[[lang:!german][some text in German]]
The code:
(org-link-set-parameters "lang"
:display 'full
:face 'magit-header-line-key
:export (lambda (target desc format)
(cond
((eq format 'latex)
(let ((langs org-latex-babel-language-alist))
(concat
"\\foreignlanguage{"
(if (string-match-p "!" target)
(replace-regexp-in-string "!" "" target)
(cdr (assoc target langs)))
"}{" desc "}")))
;; TODO
((or (eq format 'html)
(eq format 'odt))
(format "%s" desc)))))
We also have this command from the csquotes package for foreign quoted
texts (loads only the hyphenation rules for the language and sets the
text between quotation marks): \hyphentextquote{lang}{quoted text}. For
this I have defined a new link "qlang":
(org-link-set-parameters "qlang"
:display 'full
:face 'magit-header-line-key
:export (lambda (target desc format)
(cond
((eq format 'latex)
(let ((langs org-latex-babel-language-alist))
(concat
"\\hyphentextquote{"
(if (string-match-p "!" target)
(replace-regexp-in-string "!" "" target)
(cdr (assoc target langs)))
"}{" desc "}")))
((or (eq format 'html)
(eq format 'odt))
;; TODO (use here the proper quotes)
(format "«%s»" desc)))))
We can even make the citations come out in color when we are in draft
mode, thanks to the LaTeX ifdraft package:
(org-link-set-parameters "qlang"
:display 'full
:face 'magit-header-line-key
:export (lambda (target desc format)
(cond
((eq format 'latex)
(let ((langs org-latex-babel-language-alist))
(concat
"{\\ifdraft{\\color{teal}}{}\\hyphentextquote{"
(if (string-match-p "!" target)
(replace-regexp-in-string "!" "" target)
(cdr (assoc target langs)))
"}{"
desc "}}")))
((or (eq format 'html)
(eq format 'odt))
;; TODO
(format "«%s»" desc)))))
Best regards,
Juan Manuel
