Some comments on http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/Arabic which could be brushed up to the latest the current LyX version:...

Hello Jannick,

our Wiki is like the Wikipedia - you can modify the text of every wiki page without being registered. Just press on the Edit link in the upper right and start.

Ah, I didn't know. I thought that all your sites are pass word protected since your documentation is quite neat and well-kept.

2: "In Toolsâ?'Preferencesâ?'Language settingsâ?'Language, assure that "Right-to-left language support" is checked." I would appreciate comments on what "logical" and "visual" are for.

What exactly do you refer to? Visual should be clear: the characters appear "txet" and not "text".

I thought that some tool tips in LyX could be helpful here. I was referring to the different behaviour of the cursor under the alternative choices.

Under either choice the cursor is running away from the text in the Arab mode, i.e. the text is not inserted where the cursor is blinking. This makes it a bit difficult to add text within a phrase, e.g. Is this due to some setting I have spoiled?

3: Using ArabTeX:

- F12 to switch between Arabic and English does not work. How can that be amended?

I described this now in the Wiki page in the section "Creating a shortcut to switch the language"

I was just looking for that, but could unfortunately not find it. Would you mind providing a link to this part in LyX-Wiki? Thanks.

What the heck did I do? The change was on the site with the link I have given above. Sorry for the noise.

and updated the page a bit.

- The English text is underlined in blue. What does that mean?

A blue underline indicates that the text is in a different language than the document-wide language. More information about this is given in the LyX User's Guide that you find in LyX's Help menu.

Thanks, I will have a glance at that.

regards Uwe
