The package provides support for use of Babel in documents written in Russian (in both traditional and ancient forms). The support is adapted for use both under legacy TEX engines, and under X∃TEX and LuaTEX.
Current version 1.3m dated by 2021-01-04
Current Maintainer is Igor A. Kotelnikov. Submit feature request to https://github.com/kia999/babel-russian
- Unpack babel-russian.zip.
- Run "xelatex.exe russianb.dtx" (recommended) or "pdflatex.exe russianb.dtx"; alternatively run "tex.exe russianb.dtx" or "tex.exe russianb.ins", if you don't need documentation
- Move "russianb.ldf" to /tex/latex/babel-russian
- Move "russianb.pdf" and README to /doc/latex/russian-babel/
- Update filename base (see documentation for your TeX system)
Russian language definition file can be used both with legacy 8-bit engines (such as latex.exe or pdflatex.exe) and Unicode compilers (xelatex.exe or lualatex.exe). The Unicode engines can be ran either in Unicode mode or 8-bit compatibility mode, which emulates the legacy engines. The two modes differ by a set of packages loaded in the preamble of a source TeX file. It is important to keep recommended order of the packages loaded, especially when running Unicode engines in a compatibility 8-bit mode.
In the examples below, it is assumed that a source file to be compile has utf8 input encoding.
\usepackage[T1,T2A]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[english,russian]{babel}
\usepackage[T1,T2A]{fontenc}
\usepackage[lutf8]{luainputenc}
\usepackage[english,russian]{babel}
\XeTeXinputencoding "bytes"
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T2A]{fontenc}
\usepackage[english,russian]{babel}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\defaultfontfeatures{Ligatures={TeX}}
\setmainfont{CMU Serif}
\setsansfont{CMU Sans Serif}
\setmonofont{CMU Typewriter Text}
\usepackage[english,russian]{babel}
Instead of the Computer Modern Unicode (CMU) fonts loaded in this example, you may try any True Type or Open Type fonts installed on your computer provided that those fonts came with Russian letters.
\usepackage[english,russian]{babel}
\languageattribute{russian}{ancient}
or \usepackage[english,russian.ancient]{babel}
Using Unicode mode is strongly recommended for typesetting ancient texts. Be sure to take X2 or OT2 font encodings when running 8-bit engine such as latex or pdflatex.
See russianb.pdf for more information.
Before switching from a legacy 8-bit engine (tex, pdftex) to an Unicode engine (xetex, luatex) and vise versa delete all .aux, .toc, .lot, .lof files as they might have stored incompatible internal encodings.
T2* font encodings do not have legacy Cyrillic letters yat', which is hard-coded in ancient caption names. Be sure to use an Unicode engine or borrow \cyryatand\CYRYAT` commands from X2 font encoding when setting
the language attribute to "ancient", for example:
\usepackage[X2,T2A]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\DeclareUnicodeCharacter{0462}{\CYRYAT}
\DeclareTextSymbolDefault{\CYRYAT}{X2}
\DeclareUnicodeCharacter{0463}{\cyryat}
\DeclareTextSymbolDefault{\cyryat}{X2}
\usepackage[english,russian.ancient]{babel}
Consult your font documentation for other ancient glyphs which might be absent.
2021-01-04 version 1.3m
* The macro `\cyrdash` that prints Cyrillic dash has been changed.
Now it is alias of `\textemdash` in all encodings.
* New Customisation section is added to the module documentation. It
describes how to modify the `\cyrdash` macro and shorthand `"--~"` that
is intended to print Cyrillic dash in compound names of physical
laws, mathematical equations, company titles, e.t.c. such as the
Ostrogradsky-Gauss theorem (thanks to Olga Lapko).
