Hans and other contexers,
Again on Arabtex, a real challenge.
2. The problem with the questionmark remains unsolved, I am afraid.
3. There is also a problem with \rq (closing quotation marks). The
result is expected to be <<abc>>, however it is <<abc'
When combined with ", needed to put a sukun, \rq is reinterpreted as
hamza, e.g. \lq hwlndI"\rq
Somewhere down in the Arabtex code \rq is mapped to ', which is the
symbol used for hamza.
I would appreciate if you would look into that.
Regards,
Robert Ermers
