RE: [jadetex] French typography with the Modular Stylesheets? (The DSSSList Digest V3 #223)

[MARK.WROTH@xxxxxxxxxxx (Wroth, Mark)]

[Mark Wroth] Some time ago, someone on this list commented (in response to a
question I asked) that they had built a version of Jade (or possibly some
DSSSL extensions) which allowed Jade to easily emit arbitrary TeX code (e.g.


	(make-environment 'document
	  (process-children))

would produce

	\begin{document}
	% contents of the children
	\end{document}

I never had a chance to follow up on this, but it would be an approach to
using the Babel functionality (and yes, I'd actually like to see this
functionality in the main development line).

Subject: [jadetex] French typography with the Modular Stylesheets?

I'm preparing a text in French, using DocBook/XML and the DSSSL Modular 
Stylesheets. But the typography rules are always the english ones, even if I

have set the lang attribute (the labels like "Table of contents" appear OK
in 
French) and if I have babel properly installed (no problems with LaTeX, only

with jadetex).

More specifically, the bullets in the list do not appear like they should do

in French (as dashes), unlike what happens with babel.

How to use babel from jadetex?
