Re: [XeTeX] arabic

All the work on xindy part is done by Mehdi Omidali not me. I think he has sent his work to the xindy people so that will be included in xindy. I have got a version of that at http://www.parsilatex.com/joomla/index.php?option=com_remository&Itemid=82&func=fileinfo&id=11 On Sat, Oct 23, 2010 at 3:2

Re: [XeTeX] arabic

Good to hear from you, Vafa. I would like to try persian.xdy, but can't find it. On my updated TeXLIve2010/MacTeX, it is neither in xepersian files nor in xindy files. Kamal On Fri, Oct 22, 2010 at 22:43, Vafa Khalighi wrote: > I disagree. If makeindex was so perfect, why would someone spends l

Re: [XeTeX] arabic

HI Houda and Ross, Ross is of the opinion that the job of indexing in Arabic can be done with makeindex. I did a little search and reading, and concluded that the job is not one that can be done in an afternoon (or two). At least not without some hints from Ross (and others). For the xindy route,

Re: [XeTeX] (Xe)LaTeX output in a non-(Xe)LaTeX scholarly community

I'm a classicist editing Greek texts and I also recently found OUP willing to let me set my own book with XeTeX and submit PDF to them. It wasn't hard to convince them at all, actually, since it looks good and saves them time and production expense. The production process went really smoothly, all

Re: [XeTeX] arabic

I disagree. If makeindex was so perfect, why would someone spends lots of time inventing a new system. For languages like Persian, Urdu, and other complex scripts, makeindex is not suitable and you have got to use xindy. -- بسی رنج بردم در این سال سی عَجَم زنده کردم بدین پارسی ---

[XeTeX] No (bidi) Arabic with titlesec? & bidi loading settings

Thanks Vafa, working like a charm now For the common good: commenting out the line \...@ifclassloaded{book}{\@ifpackageloaded{flowfram}{}{\input{book-xetex-bidi.def}}}{} in xetex-bidi.def seems to solve (at least some) current conflicts between bidi (via arabxetex) and titlesec, even with a co

Re: [XeTeX] No (bidi) Arabic with titlesec?

there is a change file for titlesec in bidi but since it is not yet complete and perfect, it is not loaded. Can you try a minimal file using just bidi and titlesec, no polyglossia, no arabxetex and see if this issue happens there too. -- بسی رنج بردم در این سال سی عَجَم زنده کردم بدین پا

[XeTeX] bidi loading settings

Dear Vafa (and maybe others) Since bidi is such a comprehensive package, I wonder is there is a way to load it selectively, I mean asking for some of the files not to be loaded, like book-xetex-bidi.def This could help debug package conflicts, and maybe it would thus make possible some otherwis

Hi, I do research in medieval Celtic Studies. Anyway, I am in a bit of a hurry so I will just say this: I use pandoc to convert between XeLaTeX and Open Office and, from there, into Word. This has worked pretty well for me when sending to journals in my field and it supports XeTeX. I wrote a bl

[XeTeX] No (bidi) Arabic with titlesec?

Hello everyone, I wonder if anyone has a solution or workaround for the ongoing bidi--titlesec clash? I had set a book last year, in English with lots of Arabic, and it was running fine a few months ago. Now titlesec stops working as soon as I load either arabxetex or polyglossia+arabic, so I

Hi, although this list is probably not the best place to ask, I do so, because googling didn't help either: Is there an ft-ligature in TeX Gyre Pagella and I or xetex do something wrong, or isn't it? Minimal example for the f-ligatures: \documentclass{minimal} \usepackage{fontspec} \setmai
