This is the version 1.2 of 'xecyr' package which is intended to help with Russian and other Cyrillic-based languages in Babel / polyglossia and XeLaTeX / LuaLaTeX. This work may be distributed and/or modified under the conditions of the LaTeX Project Public License, either version 1.3 of this license or (at your option) any later version. The latest version of this license is in http://www.latex-project.org/lppl.txt and version 1.3 or later is part of all distributions of LaTeX version 2005/12/01 or later. Now with a great pleasure I must announce that recent development of two most used Unicode-aware TeX engines (XeTeX and LuaTeX) came to the point where xecyr is not needed anymore. As you will see, all xecyr examples work now without xecyr (only slight modifification was typically required). All these examples work with XeLaTeX and almost all (except "xecyr-ex7-ru-x.tex") with LuaLaTeX. It is now possible to replace xecyr with dummy package or even remove it, but I still prefer to keep xecyr. There are many documents which depend on it. Old and new examples are also quite useful, especially for Russian typesetting. === FILES === NEWS changelog README This file xecyr.sty Cyrillic definitions for XeLaTeX, depends on XeLaTeX, "xunicode" package, and, optionally, "misccorr" and highly recommended "xltxtra" package combined_hyphenation Examples of how to establish combined (Russian + English) hyphenation in TeXLive inputs Input files with different Russian encodings old Old documentation files grafika_v_tex.tex Graphics in TeX (in Russian) howto-tex-ru-x.tex How to work in TeX (in Russian) listings-utf8-ex.tex Example for listings package (not quite successfull) pict2e-ex.tex Example for pict2e package rubibtex-ex.bib Examble BibTeX database (codepage 1251) rubibtex-ex-x.sh Shell script for BiBTeX rubibtex-ex-x.tex Example for BibTeX rumakeindex-ex-x.sh Shell script for makeindex rumakeindex-ex-x.tex Example for makeindex sample2e-ru-x.tex Russian translation lf L.
