Does babel portuguese obey the new ortography rules (Novo Acordo Ortográfico)?

I just noticed that, when I use babel Portuguese, a rule like today produces something like 13 de Março de 2019. But this is wrong in regards to the new orthography of Portuguese (Novo Acordo Ortográfico), because name of months should not be capitalized. Is this a problem with my installation? If not, where can I report the bug or pull request a change?

  • The package site on CTAN (ctan.org/pkg/babel-portuges) lists the current babel maintainer as the package maintainer. The documentation does not have more contact information (this is somewhat unusual, normally it contains an email address or a link to a bug tracking system). The website of the babel maintainer is texnia.com and it has a contact form, you could try to get in touch with him there.

  • @DavidPurton The main babel stuff definitely, but I don't think all language modules are even maintained by Javier. Plus he has github.com/jbezos/babel-spanish and github.com/jbezos/babel-english, so it seems they are decoupled from the babel core. But at least posting to latex2e would log the issue...

I notice babel gives the output you want when using the new ini file system with import=pt.



However, it seems you are from Brazil. So maybe you could also try:



usepackage[brazil]babel


or



usepackagebabel
usepackage[import=pt-BR,main]portugues


It seems that using



usepackage[portuguese]babel


or



usepackagebabel
babelprovide[import=pt-PT,main]portuguese


gives uppercase months.



MWE



documentclassarticle
% option a
%usepackage[brazil]babel % or usepackage[brazilian]babel
% option b
%usepackagebabel
%babelprovide[import=pt-BR,main]portugues
% option c
usepackagebabel
babelprovide[import=pt,main]portuguese
% end options
begindocument
