Walter has written about support of the middle dot in Catalan. (Wikipedia link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interpunct#Catalan). >So "·" should be admitted to produce l·l , L·L, as well as ŀ and Ŀ The best that I can see at present is to declare the file encoding as ISO-8859-1, which will allow the use of the middle dot. See attached files. There won't be any combining with previous letters, though. I see in texinfo.tex there are definitions of Unicode characters as \utfeightchardefs. Some of the characters that are in ISO-8859-1 (are included (00A0 up to 00FF) , but not all. It would seem simple enough to add the middle dot (00B7). However this may not be perfect, if there are rules about the spacing of the middle dot about other characters. Karl, would that be the right kind of approach? I know there has been talk in the past about a LaTeX backend to solve some of the problems about Unicode charsets in the TeX output. Is this is to avoid texinfo.tex having to code all the special rules about different characters in different languages? Even if that would be better in the long run, maybe there is something that can be done know with the existing texinfo.tex.
