Re: Reminder - send me Hebrew info.




Thanks for the info.

I have a couple questions.  I'm familiar with tex--xet & how it works,
but not with pico.  How exactly does it handle mixed language
(Hebrew/English) editing & bidirectionality?  I presume that the
reason it can't use tex--xet is that the Hebrew is inserted (into the
buffer & into the file) from right to left.  Is this the case?
Someone mentioned writing something simple to reverse just the Hebrew
(in an effort to convert pico files to tex--xet format).  I don't see
how this could work without actually parsing the TeX commands, since
in tex--xet you can be in Hebrew mode and/or in English mode due to
various (nestable) commands.  What do you think?

What exactly is kermit with Hebrew support?  Does this just mean that
the high end of the 8 bit ascii codes get mapped to Hebrew characters?
Does it also have a "Hebrew" mode which paints the screen from right
to left instead of left to right?  If so, it would only be suitable
for English *or* Hebrew, but not for mixed language things.  Is this
the case?

Thanks,

Harvey
