The book I’m editing has some foreign-language words, and (mostly so I wouldn’t “fix” these in spell-checking) I applied the XML language tag to them:
Code:
<i xml:lang="hu">Én nem beszélek magyarul.</i>
worked ok, but I tried this with some transliterated Korean:
Code:
<i xml:lang="ko-Latn">dongsaeng</i>
and that behaved oddly: The desktop version of ADE (version 2) showed the transliterated Korean in an upright font; and Mantano/Bookari displayed them in a slanted roman, rather than an italic, font.
I’ve reported the bug to Mantano, but I’m removing this attempt at semantic coding anyway, since ADE-based readers are just about guaranteed to to
something wrong with this. I figured I’d post my results here so anyone trying to research this matter will find this and know not to bother.
