Zettelmarkup: Supported Attribute Values for Natural Languages

00001007050100 · Ref · Info · (manual) · #manual #reference #zettelmarkup #zettelstore (all) · Context

With an attribute it is possible to specify the natural language of a text region. This is important, if you want to render your markup into an environment, where this is significant. HTML is such an environment.

To specify the language within an attribute, you must use the key lang. The language itself is specified according to the language definition in RFC-5646.

Examples:

{lang=en} for the English language
{lang=en-us} for the dialect of English spoken in the United States of America
{lang=de} for the German language
{lang=de-at} for the dialect of German language spoken in Austria
{lang=de-de} for the dialect of German language spoken in Germany

The actual typographic quotations marks (""..."") are derived from the current language. The language of a zettel (meta key lang) can be overwritten by an attribute: ""...""{lang=fr}.
