in a similar fashion, much texutil functionality is already present in ctxtools, which is a prelude to rewriting texutil i.e. a new sorting / index etc mechanism (maybe xml based)

Great Hans you are thinking about (Czech:) sorting. How do you want to implement national deviations? For an example I attache brief Czech sorting rules overview (please see section 3).

indeed sorting is on the agenda, but i want to do it in ruby; once i've redone texutil (most is actually already redone) i will implement a sorting mechanims where language dependent methods can be hooked into; that way i can delegate part of the problem; for instance to you -) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
