Re: [edit-utils] Handling Japanese man page

No. I'm proposing to use a defcustom, default to the one you're using (you've convinced me it is gauranteed not to introduce new brokenness), and document so that Chinese and Koreans have an easy interface. Something like (just guesses for the prefix and the name) (defcustom manual-bold-twocolumn-compatibility-regexp "\\cj\\(\b\b\\1\\)" "Matches bold two-column character. For compatibility with Japanese nroff, which puts one backspace in for each nominal column to create a bold character. Ie, a bold kanji looks like "K^H^Hk". Other multibyte languages can be added to the regexp if necessary by replacing the "\cj" with a group of alternative character classes (such as "\ck" for Korean and "\cc" for Chinese). This option may go away if it becomes clear how to do the right thing automatically without it." :group 'manual) Hrvoje is probably right, this should be a defvar or defconst instead of a defcustom. But putting in a declaration will help document it. -- University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences Tel/fax: +81 (298) 53-5091 _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ What are those straight lines for?
