[texhax] typesetting of a critical text editiom [parallel, "paired" fn]

[Uwe Lueck]

1. Regarding ledpar, enter `ledpar' on http://tug.org/pipermail/texhax/.

2. "Paired footnotes" have been implemented with bigfoot, not with ledmac/ledpar. However, this may not be so difficult. Along the previous item, you find the ledmac/ledpar developpers/maintainers. 

3. For "original" even pages, "translation" odd pages, there is always the "brute" method: typeset original and translation as different LaTeX documents, augmenting the page number by 2 each, print them, sort the pages at a table using your hands, eyes, brain ... Roy Flechner told me that the fancyhdr package is helpful for this. 

4. I would like to improve "parallel" functionality with manyfoot, bigfoot, lineno, ednotes on this, but this needs funding ... and I even cannot afford organizing this right now. 

... Uwe.

The publisher want to have this special paired footnotes and facing pages here is on the one side the source and on the other side the translation. I thought I can manage these problems with the bigfoot.sty and parallel.sty but and the author of the bigfoot.sty said to he will add the solution of this problem to the documentation. But the parallel.sty do not work together with bigfoot.sty, so I have to find another way to solve the problems.
