Dear gang,
Re: Arabic poetry thread:
Hans has just implemented high-level support for hemistiches and caesuras
(using here the technical names for the style of poetry structure used in
Arabic and other classical literature).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemistich
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caesura
With the latest beta, run the attached file. The module m-hemistich.mkiv
also has a demo inside.
For Arabic, note the tatweel across columns (only manual for now). The
separator option with \hemistiches is probably more useful for Latin and
Greek classical literature etc where the separator occurs on every line;
the \hemistichescaesura option is probably more useful for Arabic where
there are only occasional connectors across columns.
Could one of you kindly add a page with this info to the wiki? Much thanks
and enjoy!
Best wishes
Idris
