Hi
The xunicode package provides a textipa command which recognizes
(most
of?) the commands from the tipa package. This is very useful, since
it allows one to convert legacy documents containing IPA to xelatex
with minimal trouble. However, the tipa package also provided an IPA
environment. This is not supplied by xunicode. Is there a way to
emulate that too? Here's a minimal document:
I know the definition for the IPA environment isn't correct; what I
want is characters inside that environment to be interpreted in the
same way that they are within the \textipa command provided by
xunicode.
You must use a name with small letters for your environment (tipa
activates the others)
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{xltxtra}
\newfontfamily{\ipafont}{Doulos SIL}
\def\useTIPAfont{\ipafont}
\newenvironment{ipa}{%
\let\stone\TIPAstonebar
\let\tone\TIPAtonebar
\setTIPAcatcodes\activatetipa
\csname useTIPAfont\endcsname
}{}
\begin{document}
\textipa{RPAQIOE} % This will give you correct phonetic characters
\begin{ipa}
RPAQIOE
\end{ipa}
\end{document}
Perfect. Thanks a lot, Ulrike. It's not a big deal to change the IPA
environments in the legacy source documents to ipa environments.
Is this documented anywhere? Also, would this environment be
something that it would make sense to add to xunicode?
