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 <>, however it is <

[R. Ermers]

Thanks Hans, for your quick reply.

I downloaded the most recent files (again) from Lagally's website, since 
I don't have the texlive cd (may be I should). The most recent 
apatch.sty bear dates in 2006.

I commented line 191 in apatch.sty. Everything seems to work normal now. 
Perhaps until I decide to write any hebrew texts, which is unlikely.

Kind regards,

Robert

i checked your file here, and after removing arabtex from texmf-local 
(1999 patch version) i now havea 2005 patch version from tex live); it 
seems that your version is somewhere in between [2001 patch version] so ...

at eurotex 2005 i discussed a few things with Klaus Lagally and we are 
both aware of dependencies and ways to make arabtex and context working, 
so ... first bring your arabtex in sync (take the version from the tex 
live dvd)

[NTG-context] a few questions on Arabtex

[R. Ermers]

Dear friends,

I have been trying again to get Arabtex running. I got  the most recent 
version of apatch.sty etc. There are some problems.

Question 1. context gets stuck
When using Arabtex with Context (which I prefer now), the run stops on a 
command in apatch, \hc, referring to hepatch. Arabtex works normally 
with Latex, though. I already asked Prof. Lagally, but he wrote me that 
he believes the bug is probably related to Context.

Question 2. question mark
The Arabic question mark does not work: \ results in an error, I 
am not sure, but I believe the question mark is remapped to something 
else (perhaps something unicode-ish) which Arabtex cannot handle.

Does anybody have a clue?

Regards,

Robert Ermers
