Tentatively, I offer the alaph-test version of XeSyriac, a package for Syriac typesetting with XeLaTeX. I've set up a web page for the package from which all or parts of it may be downloaded: http://www.garzo.co.uk/xesyriac
There is still quite a lot of work that I intend to do on the package, and that is clear from the documentation. However, I realised it would help me to bring the monster out into the open and seek advice on its development. I am not technically minded, and have developed this package as an a regular end user. With this in mind, I would like some feedback from 1. The handful of Syriacists who now use XeLaTeX, to ascertain if this is what we want/need, and if there are any end-user requests. 2. Those who know what packages should look like and how to code them, to correct my errors and over-exuberances. I am already grateful to those who have suggested snippets of code here and there that have gone into the package. I have tried to recognise each of you, and will continue to do so for all who offer further guidance. With the fear and trepidation of a new parent, Gareth. -------------------------------------------------- Subscriptions, Archive, and List information, etc.: http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/xetex
