README for gpe-ownerinfo
========================
/etc/gpe/gpe-ownerinfo.data can contain Pango markup if used with
gpe-ownerinfo.
Examples:
<u>Hebrew אב גדה text</u>
<span size='8000'>Germany</span>
<span variant='smallcaps'>Norway</span>

Translating
-----------
Translators: please provide the po files with the language code for
your language. (The reason for this is that Pango supports language
tagging, so, for example, it will attempt to use a Japanese font for
text marked as Japanese.)
Look for comment "LanguageCode" in po/<lang>.po, then put the code
for your language in the 'mgstr'. (Example: "ja" for Japanese)
I will then use this information to mark up strings with this
language code.

From <http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/unicode/library/l-u-pango1/index.html?dwzone=unicode>:
The most versatile element, and the one that will have the most common
use, is <span>. Like the HTML element with the same name, this marks a
span of text, and its start tag may have the following attributes whose
values will be translated into Pango text attribute values:
* font_desc: a shorthand font description, such as
"Sans Italic 12" (any other span attributes override this
description)
* font_family: A font family name
* face: Synonym for the font_family attribute
* size: Font size in thousandths of a point; a predefined absolute
size keyword such as xx-small or xx-large, or one of the relative
sizes smaller or larger
* style: One of normal, oblique, or italic, corresponding to the
allowed values of the style text attribute
* weight: One of six keywords such as ultralight, normal, or heavy
-- or a numeric weight
* variant: normal or smallcaps
* stretch: One of nine keywords such as ultracondensed, normal,
and ultraexpanded that correspond to the allowed values of the
stretch text attribute
* foreground: An RGB color specification such as #00FF00 or a
color name such as red
* background: An RGB color specification such as #00FF00 or a
color name such as red
* underline: One of single, double, low, none
* rise: Vertical displacement, in ten thousandths of an em. Can
be negative for subscript, positive for superscript
* strikethrough: true or false, whether to strike through the
text
* lang: A language code (for example, fr)
The markup language also includes a handful of convenience elements
that do not have attributes:
* <b>: bold
* <big>: equivalent to <span size="larger">
* <i>: italic
* <s>: strikethrough
* <sub>: subscript
* <sup>: superscript
* <small>: equivalent to <span size="smaller">
* <tt>: monospace font
* <u>: underline
The absolute and relative sizes of successive steps of the size
attribute and the size increase or decrease from the <bigger> or
<smaller> elements is in the ratio 1:1.2 (or 1.2:1); this is the
same as the CSS scale factor between its text sizes.
The markup language is case-sensitive, unlike HTML (but like XML),
and the only tags that can be omitted are the pair of the <markup>
start tag and end tag.
