* '''regime''' is the input encoding, i.e. what you type, so that you can use accented characters (like umlauts in the example) directly. It depends on your language, your OS and the capabilities of your editor. Try "utf" if your editor can process Unicode, otherwise "il1" (ISO Latin 1) on Windows or "mac" (Mac Roman) on a Mac. (More on that topic in [[Encodings and Regimes]].)
* '''language''' is the language of your text. Besides <cmd>mainlanguage</cmd> there's also <cmd>language</cmd> to switch temporarily. Try your internet top level domain code as language code (de = german, fr = french, it = italian etc., see [[Language Codes]]).
* '''quotation''': use logical markup instead of specified signs! You get single quotes with <cmd>quote</cmd>. You can use <cmd>startquotation</cmd> ... <cmd>stopquotation</cmd> for longer (indented) quotes.
* '''em''': again, logical markup! say "<cmd>em</cmd>phasized" instead of bold or italics. Remember, it's a switch, not a command! (Not <tt>\em{foo}</tt>, but <tt>{\em foo}</tt>.)
