[XeTeX] How to emulate an array of boxes?

2010-07-29 Thread Ron Aaron
I'm attempting to use high-numbered boxes as an array (since as far as I can tell there is no real array construct in XeTeX). My desire is to be able to grab any one of a number of boxes, by number (without necessarily allocating the boxes beforehand). So what I would like is to be able to, s

Can you please confirm (by attaching the log file) that the version of XeTeX that you were running was the TL 2010 version and that you were not accidentally picking up the MikTeX version even after installing TL 2010 ? Стас Фомин wrote: I tried TeX Live 2010 pretest and the bug still

Hi list, I think I found a bug in the bidi package which occurs when the colortbl package is loaded as well. The following example fails with the error "! Extra alignment tab has been changed to \cr." % \documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{article} \usepackage{fontspec} \usepackage{col

[XeTeX] xunicode and TIPA

2010-07-29 Thread Andy Lin
I've actually made a teckit mapping for TIPA before. But this was just for the A-Z, 0-9 mappings. It didn't include any of the commands involving a backslash. What you could do is to change the definitions of \|, etc. to different, safe/non-TIPA characters/strings (e.g. $| for \|, and $; for \;), a

On Windows, TeXworks will auto-update, as will Sumatra. To get pstricks to work, if pdftricks or a similar package doesn't do what you need, then I would compile the diagrams separately into eps or pdf files, and then embed those into your document as graphics. The only issue with this approach is
