Can i Gerald> simply use babel with the Texinfo macro packakge? Hm. AFAIK, makeinfo and M-x texinfo-format-buffer RET don't hyphenize the file at all, so you won't have any problems with that. For printed output, TeX is being used. For this, I think you can easily use german.sty because that works for TeX as well as LaTeX. Also, latin1.sty which allows you to have Latin 1 characters in your .tex files looks like it is so low-level that it should work with LaTeX as well as plain TeX. Don't know about other languages, tho. Isn't there a \setlanguage primitive in TeX 3? You would have to go to a TeX group for more information on that. kai -- I wonder why nobody don't like me, or is it de fact dat I'm ugly? -- Harry Belafonte
