Summary description: language and configuration files to typeset spanish
in mexico
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
Fixed an unfortunate choice of filename: on some distributions, the included spanish.cfg was automatically installed, thus becoming automatically default; the file has been renamed to esmx.cfg, so you have to create the spanish.cfg file, if not present, and type `\include esmx.cfg' explicitly into spanish.cfg to make the mexican spanish default. The README file has been updated accordingly. With my apologies to all users affected.

spanish-mx – Typeset Spanish as in Mexico
The bundle provides files to support typesetting of texts in Spanish according to Mexican current practices, using babel. The files merge earlier work on a mexican.ldf, or may be used to define a configuration that will typeset all documents (that request babel’s spanish option) to use the Mexican language facilities. (Note that this facility is only available with version >=4.2b releases of the Spanish option.)
However, according to the author, the purpose of this package is nowadays better served by the babel package with option spanish.mexico.
