DESCRIPTION

Cedilla is a text printer that uses Unicode internally and will make heroic efforts to find or design suitable glyphs for exotic or rare characters.

FILES

/etc/cedilla-config.lisp
the system-wide configuration file for Cedilla.

HEADER AND FOOTER FORMAT

The format passed to the -h and -f options is of the form

[left,]center[,right]
where left, center and right are strings that may contain any of the following sequences:
%% typeset a percent sign
%, typeset a comma
%p typeset the page number as an Arabic number
%P typeset the page number in words
%r typeset the page number as a small Roman number
%R typeset the page number as a Roman number

NOTES

By design, Cedilla only accepts input data in UTF-8. You are expected to use an external converter such as iconv(1) or luit(1) in order to print text encoded in a legacy encoding. Cedilla is unable to print data that comes from a pipe; this is unavoidable, as Cedilla makes two passes over its input file.
