<h2>Reuse when possible</h2>
- - "copy" from existing locales if the content should be identical
+ <p>One should avoid cut-n-paste when possible, and instead use
+ the <tt>copy</tt> statement to include sections from locales
+ with identical content.</p>
<h2>LD_IDENTIFICATION</h2>
- - standard refs in the LD_IDENTIFICATION
-
- - quotes around the text
-
- - no <U#>, use normal ASCII
+ <p>The category entries are references to the standard used when
+ writing the given section. The standard refs should have
+ quotes around them, and should not use the <U#>
+ notation. They should normally look like this:</p>
+ <blockquote><pre>
+category "i18n:1997";LC_IDENTIFICATION
+ </pre></blockquote>
<h2>LC_MESSAGES</h2>
- - yes/no expr should have the form ^[yYnN<extra>], without 0 and 1
- and without trailing ".*".
+ <p>Then yesexpr and noexpr entries should have the form
+ <tt>^[yYnN<extra>]</tt>, without 0 and 1 and without
+ trailing "<tt>.*</tt>".</p>
