Re: [XeTeX] Incorrect handling of name prefixes by biblatex (van, de)

2010-11-01 Thread Pierre Morel
Thank you for your insight on Dutch names and basic bibtex (I learned something!). I looked a bit more into the typography of name prefixes in French and it looks quite messy... some French names have capitalization for the first letter, some don't, and the use of small capitals for prefixes is

Hello, Thank you, the updated hack worked, even with the margin kerning activated. So for this to work, I have : In the preamble > \catcode"2019=\active > \def’{\leavevmode \kern 1sp \hbox{\char"2019}} Active margin kerning. All upright ' replaced by true apostrophes in the text. What really stri

Ouch, I thought everything was solved... but now there is a problem in the PDF TOC generated by hyperref. Basically, instead of having L'incertitude I get: L"2019incertitude ...not very nice. Hyperref produces some warnings: Package hyperref Warning: Token not allowed in a PDF st

Oh dear - I don't use these packages at all so won't be of much help. Do you have to create a TOC entry in the body of your text, with a command such as \toc{L'incertitude}? If so, you might get away with \toc{L\noexpand 'incertitude}. But this will mess things up if L'incertitude has also to

Generally, I recommend using the correct unicode characters in the TeX source and then define the behavior you want for them. In this case, this is fairly straight-forward: 1) TeX inserts empty discretionaries after each occurrence of the \hyphenchar (a per-font property which is usually equal

It doesn't work this way... However, by reading (ahem) the hyperref manual, I noticed the existence of the command \texorpdfstring which does just what I want : I just have to replace apostrophes by \texorpdfstring{’}{'} (first one is curly, second one is straight), and voilà ! Tedious, but it w
