;;; Synched up with: Not in FSF

;;; Commentary:

;; This file provides support for Hebrew lettering in footnote mode.
;; It requires an Emacs or XEmacs with MULE internationalization.

;;; Change Log:

;; Apr-05-1997:	Replicate letters when footnote numbers hit the end of
;;		the alphabet.
;; Apr-18-1997:	Added regexp to the footnote style alist.

;;; Code:

(require 'footnote)

(defconst footnote-hebrew "2]-Hאבגדהוזחטיךכלםמןנסעףפץצקרשת0]"-A
  "Hebrew alphabet.")

(defconst footnote-hebrew-regexp
  (concat "[" footnote-hebrew "]")
  "Regexp for hebrew.")

(defun Footnote-hebrew (n)
  "Return a letter of Hebrew.
Wrapping around the alphabet implies successive repetitions of letters."
  (let* ((ltr (mod (1- n) (length footnote-hebrew)))
	 (rep (/ (1- n) (length footnote-hebrew)))
	 (chr (char-to-string (aref footnote-hebrew ltr)))
	 rc)
    (while (>= rep 0)
      (setq rc (concat rc chr))
      (setq rep (1- rep)))
    rc))

(setq footnote-style-alist
      (append (list `(hebrew
		      Footnote-hebrew
		      ,footnote-hebrew-regexp)) footnote-style-alist))

(provide 'footnote-hebrew)
