Using test.tex and your new m-arabtex.tex, it fail. log and my solution below. ========= test.tex ==================================== \input m-arabtex \usetypescript[postscript] \switchtotypeface[postscript] \starttext \setarab \novocalize \section{\} %short arabic use \< ..> here is some text in english. here in arabic .\. we can mix them. hurray. we get both of them together. we can see this is fun and going nowhere. \startarabic % long arabic kAjyn ayn mmr.hAl sAtw prwtwtA'yp awntwq mnjAnkn dwkwmn jAwy dry dwkwmn rwmy . ay mggwnAkn kwnsyp pgatwrcArA'n brAsAskn kwmpwnwn . ay mggwnAkn kwnsyp pgatwrcArA'n brAsAskn kwmpwnwn. \stoparabic \stoptext ================================================ error log; ! Extra \else. \test@space ...\a@@putword \xpa \kill@space \else \xpa \next@command \fi <to be read again> .... my solution; comment these lines; (near line 402 ). probably the support for hebrew broke things. another possibility is that all these 3 files already loaded by m-arabtex.tex and reload them break things. % \ReadFile{hebtex.sty} % \ReadFile{apatch.sty} % \ReadFile{hepatch.sty} and the file compile OK. I don't knew hebrew, however, I will try to understand the hebrew support. the character "|" and "~" still produce "illegal command" in \startarabic...\stoprabic. will try to trace this one. be happy to write the manual later. zamri On Thu, 24 Feb 2005 00:42:24 +0100, Hans Hagen wrote:

Hi,

I cleaned up the files a bit (first step); can you test these?

\input m-arabtex % new version of \usemodule will accept long names

can you also take a loot at hebrew? (if you look in the file you can see the old hebrew font def with the strange fontdimen settings;

maybe we should replace \vocalize and such by proper key/val settings (options or so); do you have a list of meaningful ones?

we also need a manual then -)
