I announced before that Prof. Dr. Klaus Lagally has recoded some very central parts of ArabTeX to make it works well with LyX. I tested the software and it solved all of our previous problems announced here.
Now, there is an issue here for which I need some information: I tried to set the line spacing to doublespace from lyx. This generate these errors This generate these errors ------ LaTeX Error: Arabic mode: Environment doublespace undefined. \begin{doublespace} Your command was ignored. Type I <command> <return> to replace it with another command, or <return> to continue without it. ---------- Illegal arabic command: [EMAIL PROTECTED] . ^^c8\end{doublespace} Your command will be echoed in the output ---------- This is the exported tex file. Happy fixing!! %% LyX 1.3 created this file. For more info, see http://www.lyx.org/. %% Do not edit unless you really know what you are doing. \documentclass[twoside,arabic,english]{arabart} \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} \pagestyle{headings} \setcounter{tocdepth}{2} \usepackage{setspace} \makeatletter \usepackage{arabtex,iso88596} \setcode{iso8859-6} \makeatother \begin{document} \begin{arabtext} � \begin{doublespace} �end{doublespace} \end{arabtext} \end{document} ------- Prof. Dr. Klaus replied that: "ArabTeX is not prepared to grok arbitrary environments. Apparently LyX uses some packages in the 'contributed' class, which is a moving target. Could you please try to find out which other packages are required by LyX? I might be able to do something about some of them, but be prepared for further surprises :-)" Will you please help clarify these issues more. -- First law of thermodynamics: "You can't get any more energy out of a system than you put into it." __/ __/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _\ _/ _\ _/ _/ \ / _\ unzir _/ aha PGP Key available gpg --recv-keys --keyserver www.mandrakesecure.net F0671821 Telecommunications Engineer Linux Registered User #279362 at http://counter.li.org Mandrake Club member CIW Designer, ICDL, MOUS.
