Here I will explain how to adjust LyX to prepare mixed Farsi-Arabic-English documents (which is based on ARABI package). I have attached the Farsi translation of the file "example_lyxified.lyx" (that can be put in the directory "examples\fa\").
1) the fontenc should be adjusted. There are two ways:
1-a) One way is to adjust "Tools->Preferences:Outpus:LaTeX" and put the
"LFE,LAE" beside the existing one "T1" in the input field "TeX encoding".
1-b) One easier way is to add the command "\usepackage[LFE,LAE]{fontenc}"
inside "Document->Setteings:LaTeX Preamble".
2) Due to the current bugs or limitations of the ARABI package whenever we want
to use Farsi we should use Arabic too (because some of the shared definitions
are defined in Arabic definitions files only). Moreover Farsi should be called
before Arabic. Again there are two ways:
2-a) It is possible to adjust the input field "Options" in
"Document->Setteings:Document Class" (though I am not sure!).
2-b) The easier way is to add the command
"\usepackage[farsi,arabic,english]{babel}" inside "Document->Setteings:LaTeX
Preamble".
3) ARABI has a seperate command to specify the Main language of the document.
This main language is used to specify the language and orientation of the
"Table of Contents" and "Page numbers" and so on. It is necessary to put the
command "\TOCLanguage{farsi}" in the "Document->Setteings:LaTeX Preamble".
4) (One other bug!) We should add the command "[EMAIL PROTECTED]@R{#1}}}" to
"Document->Setteings:LaTeX Preamble".
5) (One other bug!) We should add the following two commands
"\DeclareTextSymbol{\guillemotright}{LFE}{62}" and
"\DeclareTextSymbol{\guillemotleft}{LFE}{60}" to "Document->Setteings:LaTeX
Preamble".
6) (One other bug!). We should add the command "\selectlanguage{farsi}" as an
ERT as the first line of the document.
Summary:
Put the following commands in "Document->Setteings:LaTeX Preamble" and do the
6th item mentioned above.
\usepackage[LFE,LAE]{fontenc} \usepackage[farsi,arabic,english]{babel}
\TOCLanguage{farsi}
[EMAIL PROTECTED]@R{#1}}}
\DeclareTextSymbol{\guillemotright}{LFE}{62}
\DeclareTextSymbol{\guillemotleft}{LFE}{60}
