Hi all, I am currently evaluating po4a to see if it is suitable for translating our documentation written in LaTeX. I found the problem that po4a doesn't seem to parse commands recursively. For example, if I define these two commands: % po4a: command -doTranslate {_} % po4a: command -doNotTranslate {} and translate the following tex source: \doTranslate{ test string \doNotTranslate{test2} } Then po4a produces: msgid "test string \\doNotTranslate{test2}" msgstr "" I think \\doNotTranslate{test2} should not show up there. Indeed, when you change the tex source to: \doTranslate{ test string } \doNotTranslate{test2} The output changes to the correct format: msgid "test string" msgstr "" I think this is a severe limitation of po4a, since you can always define nested commands in LaTeX, like "\textbf{This \emph{is} an {\huge example} text.}" Does the LaTeX module ignore this case or is it just bug? If yes, could it be fixed easily? Regards, Tobias
