Hi,

Thanks for this suggestion. Unfortunately, utf simply
prints the text as it finds it, so the first part of my
file (see below) appears as

I intended to use \textarabic usually, and to use \textarabic[utf]
when it is necessary.

Best,

Yes, this would work if I were writing the file from scratch, but I am working with long files that already involve many hundreds of switches between types of input.

Also, in principle, if this is being done by TECkit, I'm not sure it is desirable behavior. Since TECkit is for transforming legacy data into unicode, I don't think it should be meddling with something that is already in unicode.

Finally, if it is decided that this is the right behavior for TECkit/arabxetex, I'm not sure it is being applied consistently. For example, why are all short vowels and tanwin being stripped out in novoc, but not sukun?
