Thereâs a hierarchy:

1. If you specify $gentext-language, thatâs used. End of story. You want
   all the generated text to be in Thai even though the book claims to
   be in German, you got it. Why, I donât know.
2. Otherwise, if you specify a language, thatâs used.
3. Otherwise, the $default-language is used.

If thereâs a use case for xml:lang="", I donât know what it is.

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
