update to the<br>
<br>
bidi<br>
<br>
package.<br>
<br>
Location on CTAN: /macros/xetex/latex/bidi/<br>
Summary description: Support for bidirectional typesetting with XeLaTeX<br>
License type: lppl<br>
<br>
Announcement text:<br>
----------------------------------------------------------------------<br>
This is the new release of the bidi package (v1.0.1). This<br>
version has been tested by me and other people and so<br>
contains a minimum number of bugs (or known better as XeTeX<br>
limitations). In this version we have fixed all the known<br>
bugs and support for lots of LaTeX packages is added. There<br>
is no real documentation at the moment due to my illness but<br>
if you have any question, then please ask it on the XeTeX<br>
mailing list. There are heaps of examples that will help you<br>
understand how this new version works and what features are<br>
added. Unfortunately it proved almost impossible to support<br>
hyperref and color because of XeTeX limitations. For color<br>
support, you are encouraged to use xecolour package instead<br>
using ordinary color and xcolor packages. Also please note<br>
that when you use longtable package with bidi package, in<br>
RTL mode, your tables will not break when a page is finished<br>
and again this is due to XeTeX limitation. Please note that<br>
you always should load bidi package as your last package.<br>
