Typesetting hebrew in a table...

Typesetting hebrew in a table...

[Willi Egger]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 402 bytes --]

Hi all,

my brother is studying Ifrith and wants to have a dictionary. The idea is to typeset left German and right Ifrith in a /bTABLE…\eTABLE environment.

When trying to typeset the Ifrith text is not broken into lines correctly i.e. it is leaping into the cell reserved for the German text. — How to correct this behaviour?

I attach a rather minimal sample.

Kind regards!

Willi

Either use:

\setupTABLE[column][2][align={r2l,right},width=42mm]

or:

\setupTABLE[column][2][align={r2l,verytolerant,stretch},width=42mm]

since a bare ‘r2l’ is like “normal” except for the writing direction. 


Best wishes,
Taco

Hello Taco,

thank you so much. - Indeed this looks good! The option with ‘verytolerant,stretch’ works but does not look that nice, some words are really far from each other…
So the way to go is “{r2l,right}”

Thanks!

Willi
