English (en) — Generic English-language phrases and symbols

## Synopsis

If no localisations are available in another language, DB2LaTeX will use the English “localisations”.

## `blockquote` gentext

    <gentext key="blockquote" text=""/>

This exists merely to suppress warnings in the latex.mapping.xsl system.

## `formalpara` gentext

    <gentext key="formalpara" text="Paragraph"/>

This key is no longer required.

## `nonexistantelement` gentext

    <gentext key="nonexistantelement" text="non-existent element"/>

English spelling correction.

## `glossseealso` gentext

    <gentext key="glossseealso" text="See also"/>

Capitalisation issue.

## `keyword` gentext

## `keywords` gentext

    <gentext key="keywords" text="Keywords"/>

## `keywordset` gentext

## `the section called` gentext

    <gentext key="the section called" text="the section called"/>

The status of this key in unknown.

## `startquote` dingbat

    <dingbat key="startquote" text="{``}"/>

Standard English-language left “curly” quotes. Some authors may prefer to use single quotes.

## `endquote` dingbat

    <dingbat key="endquote" text="{''}"/>

Standard English-language right “curly” quotes. Some authors may prefer to use single quotes.

## `nestedstartquote` dingbat

    <dingbat key="nestedstartquote" text="{`}"/>

The same as `singlestartquote`. Some authors may prefer to use double quotes.

## `nestedendquote` dingbat

    <dingbat key="nestedendquote" text="{'}"/>

The same as `singleendquote`. Some authors may prefer to use double quotes.

## `singlestartquote` dingbat

    <dingbat key="singlestartquote" text="{`}"/>

Standard English-language left “curly” quote.

## `singleendquote` dingbat

    <dingbat key="singleendquote" text="{'}"/>

Standard English-language left “curly” quote or apostrophe.

## `urlstartquote` dingbat

    <dingbat key="urlstartquote" text="{\textless}"/>

Leading delimiter for URLs.

## `urlendquote` dingbat

    <dingbat key="urlendquote" text="{\textgreater}"/>

Trailing delimiter for URLs.

## `bullet` dingbat

    <dingbat key="bullet" text="\textbullet{}"/>

This key is not used directly by DB2LaTeX and might no longer be necessary (such decorations are normally provided by LaTeX and the babel package).

## `decimalpoint` dingbat

    <dingbat key="decimalpoint" text="."/>

This symbol is used in the typesetting of character-aligned tables. It is a character sequence, as occurring within DocBook source documents, at which alignment is to occur. The phrase “decimal point” is somewhat of a misnomer.

## `latexdecimal` dingbat

    <dingbat key="latexdecimal" text="."/>

This symbol is used in the typesetting of character-aligned tables. It is a LaTeX sequence to which the `decimalpoint` sequence should be converted during typesetting. In most cases, this is the same as `decimalpoint`.
