I am writing a book in Hebrew using Lyx 2.0.3 on Debian Wheezy. Hebrew is written from right-to-left.
Unlike article and letter, which have Hebrew modifications defined for them, none of the various 'book' layouts do. I need the chapter headings provided by the book layout. A number of problems occur, examples of which are shown in the attached documents: 1. The chapter headings in the top page margin are displayed reversed (LTR), although when displayed at the beginning of the chapter and in the table of contents they are correct 2. English text included in the chapter names is displayed using Hebrew characters Problem (2) does not concern me personally since my project is 100% Hebrew, although for other authors it is liable to be a headache. Problem (1) is demonstrated best on page 8 in the pdf in the upper margin. Instead of the Hebrew text as at the beginning of the chapter: שם פרק ראשון it displays it reversed: ןושאר קרפ םש followed by the gibberish it makes out of the English. Any suggestions for a workaround? I tried to figure out how to create a Hebrew book layout myself based on the conversions for letter and article but it was far from obvious. All assistance gratefully received, David
