% Here is a the light version of THE multilingual package "french" for LaTeX. % Copyright notice is LPPL, Copyright Bernard GAULLE, 2000-2003. % % You can find here 3 LaTeX source files to move to your LaTeX installation % at the same place where you normally put any other LaTeX package/extension. % frenchle.sty which is the main package % to be called just by \usepackage{frenchle} % or via babel with either: % french.ldf which is called when you type \usepackage[french]{babel} or % frenchle.ldf which is called when you type \usepackage[frenchle]{babel} % but you should better choose to type in: \documentcalss[french]{class} % and: \usepackage{babel} % which provides the French option to all packages loaded. % %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %% La documentation de frenchle est a http://frenchle.free.fr/frldoc.pdf %% %% Utilisateurs teTeX qui utilisez les commandes fr*tex et fr*latex %% vous devez deposer ces fichiers dans /texmf/(ml)tex/french/base/ %% selon que vous utilisez un format fait avec l'option -mltex ou non, %% cf fmtutil.cnf. ET ne pas oublier de faire un "texhash" ensuite ! %% Si vous utilisez la commande latex standard il suffit que vous %% deposiez ces fichiers dans /texmf/tex/latex/frenchle/, puis refaire %% un texhash de ce texmf. % %% Voir la FAQ : http://frenchpro.free.fr/FAQscreen.pdf %% Imprimer la FAQ: http://frenchle.free.fr/FAQ.pdf %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% % % frenchle package will do its best to typeset your document according to the % french typographic rules. You have no command to type in (no commands % are available in the light version) but macrotypography (punctuation, % foot notes) is in action, as well as french layout (figures, tables, lists, % etc.), obviously frenh translation of standard titles and classes % changes (book, letter); but not hyphenation, abbreviations, illuminated % letters (lettrines), nor french guillemets. All that stuff and other % features are available with the professional version which gives you % the ability of customization and allows you to switch on/off any % feature depending of your needs. Ask Bernard Gaulle % if you want more informations about the "pro" version or look at % page http://frenchpro.free.fr/ or on any ctan. % % Notice to babel users: when you have the light version and the professional % version of french available on your (La)TeX engine and you type % \usepackage[french]{babel} that's the professional version (french.sty) % which will be loaded. If you want the light version then type % \usepackage[frenchle]{babel} % % % Enjoy. --bg update 2003/01/13 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
