Re: [XeTeX] How to Convert LaTeX to Html

There's a LaTeX-to-HTML translator built in to TeXStudio. I've never used it in anger, so I can't say much about it. D On 31 January 2012 18:47, A u wrote: > I uploaded the working files with pdf output file to google docs here is > the link > docs.google.

Re: [XeTeX] polyglossia, right alignment is not correct

The best way to avoid the problem of using TeXLive 2010 is to upgrade to TeXLive 2011. Polyglossia has changed quite a bit, including in recent months. The very first thing you should do is upgrade your TeX installation. That may solve your problem. If it does not, we will all be on a level play

Personally, I would not mind if XeTeX went into maintenance mode. I like such stability. It already has a great deal of functionality, probably enough to last me the rest of my writing career. I do take Vafa's point, though, that if future OS platforms break XeTeX, it would be nice to have someo

Re: [XeTeX] How to Convert Devanagari (sanskrit) text to Telugu Text

In due course, we shall want TEC conversions between all the Indian scripts. There must be UTF8 correspondence tables out there already, somewhere, no? That would speed things up. Dominik On 26 October 2011 01:10, Zdenek Wagner wrote: > 2011/10/25 A u : > > I have a text like this, I typed usi

Re: [XeTeX] Odd hyphenations

You say "is". ("Is written l2r"). When was Avestan first written, as opposed to recited and passed orally from teacher to pupil? Was the earliest writing in Iran a direct ancestor of the present script? Ah, third century AD, Din Dabireh, etc. In India, early Sanskrit works were not written do
