+\subsection{Using Hindi with Polyglossia}\label{gloss}
+Polyglossia works both with \XeLaTeX\ and lua\LaTeX. The lua\LaTeX\ support requires implementation
+of the font rendering algorithms in lua. It is now available for \devnag\ but not for other Indic
+scripts.

+Usage in Polyglossia is very simple:

+Notice that the optional parameter in the square brackets follows the specification of the font
+name. This is a new feature of the \verb.\fontspec. macro. Please, read the documentation of the
+Fontspec and Polyglossia packages for details.
+
+The captions in \devnag\ for use in \XeLaTeX\ and lua\LaTeX\ are still distributed with this
+package but they are already included in Polyglossia, namely in file gloss-hindi.ldf. The file
+distributed in this package is probably no longer needed and may be removed in a later version.

\section{Using Hindi with \babel}\label{babel}
Since the \textsc{devnag} package version~2.14.1 a new module for \babel\ is released. This unifies
the interface for multiligual documents where Hindi is one of the languages. The module is
