Description
This file contain the necessary and supplementary data for
typesetting documents in Italian with babel as the language
manager.
It defines the infix words, the date in various formats.
Optionally lets the user activate a number of shorthands to
perform routine frequent tasks by means of the active
character " that can be freely activated and deactivated.
It defines an intelligent mathematical comma that recognises
if it has to perform as a punctuation mark or as a decimal
separator.
It defines an 'english" environment that deactivates the
intelligent comma functionality, but it is the user
responsibility to use the decimal point in any fractional
numerical string.
Another user command activates or deactivates some commands
to supply a minimum of the performance that is fully provided
by the siunitx and similar packages. The file allows using
babel also when a document is typeset with XeLaTeX or LuaLaTeX.
The documentation that is provided by running LaTeX on the
italian.dtx file provides full documentation of every facility
provided by the italian.ldf file.
The documentation contains the licence clauses.
