Yes. > Or do you mean redirection files > for every single node? Not for every single node, but when split at chapter, for instance, all the nodes associted to sectioning commands below chapter that have a transliterated file name different from the non-transliterated file name. > For the case when --transliterate-file-names is on, I appreciate the > purpose of outputting redirection files with non-transliterated names. > However, this is still a change in program behaviour, and users may > not always want these extra files.

This is not related to --transliterate-file-names, but to the new rule I proposed, that redirection files are output when the file names do not match with the defaults. I think that we should wait for user demands before making a distinction among the diverse types of redirection files output with some generated and other not generated. There is already the possibility to set --no-node-files to avoid oing any redirection file. > Maybe the new ADD_TRANSLITERATED_REDIRECTION_FILES variable could be > changed to allow outputting untransliterated redirection files. I'd prefer if that customization variable was used only for a transitory period and for the very specific purpose of easing the transition from transliterated in the default case to non transliterated in the default case. -- Pat
