    datatool-english

    package.

    Summary description: English language support for datatool.sty v3.0+

    Announcement text: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


    The datatool-english bundle provides the English ldf files for the datatool package (v3.0+).
    The *.ldf files should all be placed on TeX's path.

    These files don't require any explicit loading. They will
    automatically be input by datatool-base.sty (or relevant
    supplementary package) if they are found and required by the
    tracklang localisation settings. See the datatool v3.0+ manual
    for further details.

    The English files provide encoding support for UTF-8 and
    ISO-8859-1 (Latin 1). Any other encoding will be treated as US-ASCII.

    This bundle also includes limited support for Old English (Anglo-Saxon)
    mainly to provide an example for a language that has multiple scripts
    (in this case, Latin and Runic) or for a language that has an extended
    Latin or non-Latin script. The language codes are ang-Latn for Anglo-Saxon Latin Script and ang-Runr for Anglo-Saxon Runic Script. There's only
    support for UTF-8 with the Anglo-Saxon files.

    **This is being released in advance of the upcoming datatool v3.0 release.** These files will be ignored by existing versions of datatool.
