Status: Closed Resolution: Rejected Priority: 2 Submitted By: Nerhun YILDIZ (nerhun) Assigned to: Martin Schröder (oneiros) Summary: In pdfLaTeX Turkish babel won't work with graphicx package

Initial Comment: I use Turkish bible in MiKTeX 2.4. When I use graphics or graphicx package and pdfLaTeX my document it crashes with about 30 errors. There is no difficulty in LaTeXing the same document and processing DVI instead of PDF. Here is the piece of minimal LaTeX code that crashes: \documentclass{report} \usepackage[turkish]{babel} \usepackage{graphicx} \begin{document} \end{document} ----------------------------------------------------------------------

Message: Logged In: YES user_id=421 Closed, as this is a LaTeX/babel/pdftex.def problem. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Heiko Oberdiek (oberdiek) Date: 2006-02-24 11:26 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1276 Hello, Turkish.ldf makes '=' active that will break many packages. Graphicx loads pdftex.def and pdftex.def loads supp-pdf.tex delayed (\AtBeginDocument) that loads supp-mis.tex that relies on '=' with catcode 12 instead of an active one. Babel makes '=' active \AtBeginDocument. Because babel is loaded first, '=' is made active before supp-mis.tex is loaded. Solutions: * Other order of packages: \usepackage{graphicx} \usepackage[turkish]{babel} * Fixing the catcode for stuff that is loaded \AtBeginDocument between babel and document start: \usepackage[turkish]{babel} \AtBeginDocument{\shorthandoff{=}}% right after babel \usepackage{graphicx} ... \AtBeginDocument{\shorthandon{=}}% % right before \begin{document} \begin{document} * Also I have updated pdftex.def to 0.03o in order to catch some catcode problems. The bug is related to the choice of '=' as shorthand character in turkish.ldf. It is definitly no matter of pdfTeX, thus the bug can be closed here. Yours sincerely Heiko ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: http://sarovar.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=493&aid=488&group_id=106
