%  \section{The German language}
%
%    The file \file{\filename}\footnote{The file described in this
%    section has version number \fileversion and was last revised on
%    \filedate.}
%    defines all the language-specific macros for the German
%    language as well as for the Austrian dialect of this
%    language\footnote{This file is a re-implementation of Hubert Partl's
%    {\tt german.sty} version 2.3e, see~\cite{HP}.}.
%
%    For this language the character |"| is made active. In
%    table~\ref{tab:german-quote} an overview is given of its
%    purpose. One of the reasons for this is that in the German
%    language some character combinations change when a word is broken
%    between the combination. Also the vertical placement of the
%    umlaut can be controlled this way.
%    \begin{table}[htb]
%     \begin{center}
%     \begin{tabular}{lp{8cm}}
%      |"a| & |\"a|, also implemented for the other
%                  lowercase and uppercase vowels.                  \\
%      |"s| & to produce the German \ss{} (like |\ss{}|). \\
%      |"ck|& for |ck| to be hyphenated as |k-k|.    \\
%      |"ff|& for |ff| to be hyphenated as |ff-f|,
%                  this is also implemented for certain other
%                  consonants.                                      \\

%      \verb="|= & disable ligature at this position.               \\
%      |"-| & an explicit hyphen sign, allowing hyphenation
%                  in the rest of the word.                         \\
%      |""| & like |"-|, but producing no hyphen sign
%                  (for compund words with hyphen, e.g.\ |x-""y|). \\
%      |"`| & for German left double quotes (looks like ,,).   \\
%      |"'| & for German right double quotes.                  \\
%      |"<| & for French left double quotes (similar to $<<$). \\

%              by \file{german.sty}}\label{tab:german-quote}

%    The quotes in table~\ref{tab:german-quote} can also be typeset by
%    using the commands in table~\ref{tab:more-quote}.
%    \begin{table}[htb]
%     \begin{center}

%      |\glq|  & for German left single quotes (looks like ,).    \\
%      |\grq|  & for German right single quotes (looks like `).   \\
%      |\flqq| & for French left double quotes (similar to $<<$). \\

%    read. We save the category code of the @-sign in |\atcatcode| and
%    make it `letter'. Later the category code can be restored to
%    whatever it was before.

%    Now we determine whether the common macros from the file

%    Another check that has to be made, is if another language
%    specific file has been read already. In that case its definitions
%    have been activated. This might interfere with definitions this
%    file tries to make. Therefore we make sure that we cancel any
%    special definitions. This can be done by checking the existence
%    of the macro |\originalTeX|. If it exists we simply execute it,
%    otherwise it is |\let| to |\empty|.
% \changes{germanb-2.2a}{15 july 91}{Added {\tt\bsl let\bsl

%                                    its former state}
%    The macro |\extrasgerman| will perform all the extra definitions
%    needed for the German language. The macro |\noextrasgerman|
%    is used to cancel the actions of |\extrasgerman|.
%
%    Because for German (as well as for Dutch) the {\tt "} character
%    is made active, the \LaTeX\ macros |\dospecials| and
%    |\@sanitize| have to be redefined to include this character
%    as well.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\addto\extrasgerman{\babel@add@special\"}
%    \end{macrocode}
%    Similarly, |\noextrasgerman| should restore them to their
%    original definition.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\addto\noextrasgerman{\babel@remove@special\"}
%    \end{macrocode}
%
%    The {\tt "} character is made active by |\extrasgerman|.
%    The restore operation for the category change is appended to
%    |\originalTeX|. Additionally we redefine |\active@dq|,
%    after we have saved the original meaning.  If written with
%    |\protect| set accordingly, the active doublequote is written
%    as this macro. (All languages with the doublequote active
%    should write it using the same control sequence name.)
%    \begin{macrocode}
\addto\extrasgerman{\babel@savevariable{\catcode`\"}\babel@save\active@dq
  \catcode`\"\active \let\active@dq\german@active@dq}
%    \end{macrocode}
%    The simple definition |\def"{\protect\active@dq}| is not usable,
%    because the |\protect| occurs at the toplevel.  If \TeX\
%    tries to scan a number in hexadecimal notation (i.\,e., using a
%    doublequote), the |\protect| with meaning |\relax|
%    prevents the correct scanning of the number.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\begingroup \catcode`\"=\active
\def\x{\endgroup
  \addto\extrasgerman{\babel@save"\let"\german@@active@dq}}
\x
%    \end{macrocode}
%
%    In order for \TeX\ to be able to hyphenate German words which
%    contain `\ss' we have to give the character a nonzero
%    |\lccode| (see Appendix H, the \TeX book).
%    \begin{macrocode}
\addto\extrasgerman{\babel@savevariable{\lccode`\^^Y}%
  \lccode`\^^Y`\^^Y}
%    \end{macrocode}
%    In an older version of {\tt german.sty} |\3| was used as a
%    shorthand for |\ss|, it is still here for
%    compatibility.\footnote{The shorthand {\tt\bsl 3} will be gone
%    in future versions of {\tt german.sty}.}
%    \begin{macrocode}
\addto\extrasgerman{\babel@save\3\let\3\ss}
%    \end{macrocode}
%    The umlaut accent macro |\"| is changed to lower the umlaut dots.
%    The redefinition is done with the help of |\umlautlow|.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\addto\extrasgerman{\babel@save\"\umlautlow}
%    \end{macrocode}
%    The german hyphenation patterns can be used with |\lefthyphenmin|
%    and |\righthyphenmin| set to~2.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\addto\extrasgerman{\babel@savevariable\lefthyphenmin
  \babel@savevariable\righthyphenmin
  \lefthyphenmin\tw@\righthyphenmin\tw@}

% \end{macro}
%
% \begin{macro}{\extrasaustrian}
% \begin{macro}{\noextrasaustrian}
%    For both versions of the language the same special macros are
%    used, so we can |\let| the austrian macros be equal to their

%
%  \begin{macro}{\newumlaut}
%    The macro |\newumlaut|, used in the definition of |\umlautlow|,
%    lowers the umlaut character nearer to the letter. To do this it

%    \end{macrocode}
%    The following code fools \TeX's {\tt make\_accent} procedure
%    about the current x-height of the font to force another placement
%    of the umlaut character.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\def\newumlaut#1{\leavevmode\allowhyphens
%    \end{macrocode}
%    First we have to save the current x-height of the font, because
%    we'll change this font dimension and this is always done
%    globally.
%    \begin{macrocode}
  {\U@D 1ex%
%    \end{macrocode}
%    Then we compute the new x-height in such a way that the umlaut
%    character is lowered to the base character.
%    The value of {\tt .45ex} depends on the \MF\ parameters with
%    which the fonts were built.  (Just try
%    out, which value will look best.)
%    \begin{macrocode}
  {\setbox\z@\hbox{\char127}\dimen@ -.45ex\advance\dimen@\ht\z@
%    \end{macrocode}
%    If the new x-height is too low, it is not changed.
%    \begin{macrocode}
  \ifdim 1ex<\dimen@ \fontdimen5\font\dimen@ \fi}%
%    \end{macrocode}
%    Finally we call the |\accent| primitive, reset the old x-height
%    and insert the base character in the argument.
%    \begin{macrocode}
  \accent127\fontdimen5\font\U@D #1}\allowhyphens}
%    \end{macrocode}
%  \end{macro}
%
%    The code above is necessary because we need an extra
%    active character. This character is then used as indicated in
%    table~\ref{tab:german-quote}.
%
%    To be able to define the function of |"|, we first define a
