Hi Alexander,

Thank you for confirming what I now also have tried in LaTeX. It was very difficult to find any documention of this - on general basis - on the internet. Without Babel and LaTeX, I would have been lost! I have also tried out the other slavic languages according to Babel: Belarussian (minus 5 letters: ¨¸,É,¡,Û,Ü) Ukrainian (minus 2 letters:¥,Ü) and Bulgarian (the Babel author exmplains the Bulgarian omissions very well).

The only curious thing in this, is why Ukrainian exludes no more than 2 letters ;-)

And, I did not mention Serbian, but I found a serbian package, srtex, <http://alas.matf.bg.ac.yu/~mr99164/programi.php#latex>. And according to this, the Serbian custom is to use the _full_ alphabet. I also checked a lot of PDF and HTML documents online - which basically confirmed this.  The tendence in Russian, Ukrainian, Belarusian and Bulgarian seems to be to only use the «old» cyrillic letters. Therefore I suspect that Serbian might have had a simililar custom earlier - which perhaps is still use somewhere?

So if someone has some spesific information about Serbian enumeration, I would appreciate it.

Leif Halvard Silli,

Hi,

In cyrillic alphabetic enumeration 28 of 33 cyrillic letters are used. Look in tex/generic/babel/russian.ldf file for more details. Five missed letters are: ¸, é, ü, û, ú. The enumeration is the same in both upper and lower-case.
