I've made all necessary additions to support Serbo-Croatian in LyX.
* extension of encodings with iso8859-5 and cp-1251
* extension of languages with serbocroatian and serbian.
Serbo-Croatian is a generic name of the language (locale is sh) and
its dialects are Croatian and Serbian. I made Serbo-Croatian
iso-8859-2 based language, Croatian is already in there with
iso8859-2, and I made Serbian iso8859-5 based (cyrillic) with
locale sr. Notice that babel currently doesn't have a support for
serbian or serbocroatian, so I'm using croatian support of babel.
That's a long story about dialects of this language that I'll skip
here.
I'm currently in contact with the author of Babel and we are
preparing the generic support for Serbo-Croatian in all its
dialects (including perhaps bosnian) and alphabets (latin and
cyrillic). When it gets ready and distributed with TeX switching
these options in the language file will be a piece of cake.
I personally go around incompatibilities by using a file
croatian.cfg (which is in fact a link to serbocro.cfg) to support
my prefered wording. It gets loaded after babel's croatian.ldf and
one can redifine everything if desirable.
* serbocroatian.kmap
* serbian.kmap
* croatian.kmap (as a symbolic link to serbocroatian.kmap)
The tarball is attached. Comments and requests for changes are welcome.
I hope this finds a way into the next LyX release. If you think we need
a change of name (e.g. serbian-latin and serbian-cyrillic instead of
those I gave them) please tell me.
Best regards,
