Hello,
to edit (critical editions) with arabic typesetting and french parallel
translation, I'm using
ledmac (for the edition), ledpar (for parallel translation), arabtex
(for the arab), ledarab (to interface between arabtex and the others).
I have two difficulties:
1/ Critical arabic notes (written from right to left) aren't right
adjusted. And the notes are ordered from left to right (its even written
in the ledarab documentation).
We should have, from right to left: line numbers + texts :
------------------------------ %page
| |
| |
| _______ | %separation line
| <text> : number | %line numbers and textnotes
|-----------------------------|
But we obtain, from left to right: line numbers on the left + text
------------------------------ %page
| |
| |
| _______ | %separation line
| number : <text> | %line number and textnotes
|-----------------------------|
2/ the other problm is that all the notes of the arabic text (more than
one page in the output) are on the first page. We don't have this
problem when both the texts (the edited one with its translation) are in
latin characters (left to right).
Thank you if you could help me
