Hi Fred, This is very interesting and, certainly, I'd like to join (though your email address in hidden in this particular posting->)
Also consider merging this with the aleph list, because the aleph list was also intended to discuss most of the same issues, even multilingual TeX issues that do not pertain to aleph directly. I hope that the XeTeX people (Hi Adam!) will post their bidi developments to the aleph list as well, so we can all be in better sync in the future:-) The aleph list is low volume and can certainly easily handle the issues you mention without boring anyone;-) I'm also working on an advanced replacement to ArabTeX, scheduled for release later this year. I can send you some samples (just send me your email address) Eventually I'd like to see the aleph capabilities merged into pdfetex, which will make my ConTeXt life much easier (Hi Hans;->) We live pretty close to one another; I'd be happy to stay in touch, talk, or even meet sometime. Take care Idris >===== Original Message From mailing list for ConTeXt users <ntg-context@ntg.nl> ===== >Hi, > >(My apologies for cross-postings) > >I would like to announce a new mailing list that I have created called >"SemiTeX." > >This is intended to be a forum for people concerned with typesetting >Arabic, Hebrew, Aramaic/Syriac, Amharic, and any other Semitic and/or >right-to-left languages using the various flavors of *TeX (LaTeX, >XeTeX, ConTeXt, etc). ============================ Professor Idris Samawi Hamid Department of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523 _______________________________________________ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
