[XeTeX] Multiple \marks

Hello I've used multiple \marks in a few jobs where there are several varying elements that need to go into the running headlines (\marks 1, \marks 2, etc., instead of plain TeX's single \mark). For some reason I got it into my head that this was part of Eplain, but I've just discovered (from

Re: [XeTeX] Multi directional paragraphs

The same issue exits with luatex (it is not really an issue or a bug, it is just the complexity of setting right and left skips), although you do not need to swap right and left skips in RTL mode in luatex. see attached. Of course bidi does nothing for luatex but perhaps I should add more support f

Re: [XeTeX] Multi directional paragraphs

The same kind of isssue existed with the margins in the bibliography environment and they can be avoided by using LTRitems and RTLitems environments. To fix lists bidirectionallly, bidi redefines \list as follow: %% \def\list#1#2{% \ifnum \@listdepth >5\re

As I said this is not a bug and it happens because once inside verse environment based on the direction of outside, right and left skips are set, then you can not change it because they are already set. This is exactly the same scenario with itemize and enumerate environment and to fix the issue of

Re: [XeTeX] Multi directional paragraphs

It is beacuse you have a different kind of definition with quote. Once you set up right and left skips you can not change them. For example, look at bidi manual and read the section that has to do with RTLitems and LTRitems environment. A similar thing can be done with verse. On Tue, Feb 15, 2011

Re: [XeTeX] Proper way to set up OT Features

The OpenType Layout mechanism is based on "glyph runs". First, the text engine separates a line into glyph runs, and then applies features to each run as if it were separate (i.e. there cannot be any feature interaction between the runs). The tricky part is that every layout engine has a different

Re: [XeTeX] Proper way to set up OT Features

Jonathan, This almost certainly indicates the presence of two fonts with the same name (perhaps both OTF and PSType1 are present? or OTF and TTF?) in locations where xetex can find them; this leads to confusion. I suspected something like this, which is why I tried reinstalling MiKTeX. Thi

Re: [XeTeX] Multi directional paragraphs

I dont really consider this a bug. With verse environment, you set right and left skips and so if it is already LTR, you have set your right and left skips for LTR and putting \setRTL would not change right and left skip because they already have been set. See the attached document. I think this is
