[XeTeX] XeTeX Digest, Vol 89, Issue 27

Fri Aug 26 10:23:45 CEST 2011

Dear all,

thank you for your comments. Unfortunately, I'm more a beginner in XeLaTex, so I would prefer working with macros than creating my own environment. Is there any solution to edit Arabic poetry with ednotes (or maybe ledarab)? I join a minimal example of my file.

Thank you very much for your help!

Best wishes,

Christopher

Dear Christopher Braun,

Unfortunately, I am not well versed in the use of XeLaTeX/LaTeX and I have not been able to work on a critical edition for some time, but I can provide a kind of example for XeLaTeX which makes use of the package "manyfoot" and of course "bidi" by the way of "polyglossia", and which may be useful for you after modifications. To run this source file it is necessary to have the free font "Scheherazade" installed, or to choose another Arabic font in line 24 of the file, in the command: \newfontfamily\arabicfont[Script=Arabic,Scale=1.6]{Scheherazade}.

In the documentation of the package "Arabxetex" you can find some suggestions for critical editions.

With best wishes and best regards,
Jens Bakker

Is there a solution to this problem? Moreover, it is not possible to add marginnotes and the linenumbering is interrupted.
