Hi, last day. I had send a patch file which introduced language support
for Malayalam - an Indic language like Tamil and Telugu. I didn't placed
the definition in the correct (alphabetic order) place. So I had changed
the patch placing it correctly. babel have support for Malayalam now.
So, I have included that as well.
Please merge with the main code base and make it available for everyone
please.
Please find the attached patch with this email.
Hello and welcome here!
I am afraid this patch is not enough, see e.g. this commit which introduces
different
langauge support:
https://www.lyx.org/trac/changeset/d9c52c7a3f06ec892cd2e36d0d20998bc99b2fd8/lyxgit
Uwe is not much around these days, but maybe someone else could give you a
helping hand
if the hint above is too difficult...
Hello,
I am not a specialist either but the changes boil down to three parts:
1/ Introduce a new LyX document version (because older versions of LyX
will not be able to read a document in malayalam. We increase version
number at each change.
Note that this means that the new language will only be available with
LyX 2.4.0. This is annoying, but we do not add new language sto stable
releases.
Concerns: src/version.h
2/ update the mechanism that converts old documents to new format
(trivial, nothing to do) and to revert documents using malayalam to
older format. This is the ugly part in the commit shown by Pavel, and
unfortunately I do not know how to do it
Concerns: stuff in lib/lyx2lyx
3/ implement LaTeX importation. In proactice, one just has to add the
language names to some array. This shouid probably use the lib/language
file, but it is not done currently.
Concerns: stuff in src/tex2lyx.
I agree this looks very intimidating, but this is the best advice I can
offer right now. Maybe someone with better knowledge can chime in.
