IvriTeX is a package that provides Hebrew support for
LaTeX. The project provides the
following:
- Hebrew support for babel
-
babel is the package that provides multi-lingual support for LaTeX2e. This
package provides bidirectional and Hebrew support for the Hebrew language
(There is an infrastructure for support of other bidirectional languages,
but it is currently not used).
- Hebrew fonts
-
The package hebfonts from CTAN A collection of Hebrew metafonts
packages.
- HebClass
-
A collection of classes and styles that will hopefully be useful to Hebrew
authors. Currently in early stages. Additions would be welcome.
- culmus-latex
-
A font package for TeX and LaTeX that provides the Culmus fonts. This
package is aimed at modern TeX distributions (such as TeXLive and
teTeX-3.0) which already have babel with Hebrew support (and
only lack decent Hebrew fonts).
Notes:
- The windows distribution is based on a slightly older version. It
includes a rather complete TeX distribution and a number of other useful
programs. Rama will also burn you a CD of it if you send her empty media.
-
The 'ivritex-fonts' package is no longer required. It was merged into the
main ivritex package. If you had it installed, just upgrade to the current
ivritex rpm with 'rpm -U'
-
The rpm can be built directly from the source tarball
Developers
Our main tool is a CVS repository, instructions on how to use it can be
found at the
CVS page.
The CVS repository can also be
browse
if you want to see what we have.
Currently there are two modules in the CVS repository:
- ivritex
- The actual code and data of the heblatex package.
- htdocs
- Holds the website sources
If you get the files from the CVS, you have to update the files list
before creating a tarball. run 'make update_list'
Project pages
Various pages related with this project:
The package includes quite a few sample Hebrew latex documents, which
should help you get started. The sample document iitsmnr.tex
should also serve as some sort of tutorial. There's also a
simple guide here.
As usual with such projects, we are all volunteers yada yada yada.
With that disclaimer, the best place to ask questions regarding ivritex is
the IvriTeX list:
info page
and
archives.
If you have a problem with a certain document of yours it is advised that
you try to create the minimal sample document that still has the same
problem. It is also often useful to attach the log file generated (the file
with the extension .log that is created where you ran latex) as it
contains valuable information about that run of latex.
The best place for general (La)TeX related support is the newsgroup
comp.text.tex
