[XeTeX] ledpar and facing pages

[Brian Wilson]

I am trying to typeset a book in Lao and English using XeLaTeX. Font
problems aside, I want to have the Lao text on the left facing pages and the
English on the right facing pages.  I do not need to number the lines or
paragraphs, but I do want the texts in parallel on a page level.  I have
read the ledpar manual, but for some reason the code is not working for me.
(I am very new at this.)

Here is what I have as a test.

%!TEX encoding = UTF-8 Unicode

%This is a book in Lao and English compiled using emacs and Typeset using
XeLaTeX.

\documentclass [a5paper]{book}

\usepackage{fontspec,fancyhdr,ledmac,ledpar}

\begin{document}

\begin{pages}
\begin{Leftside}

This should be Lao.  I want it on left facing pages.

\end{Leftside}

\begin{Rightside}

This should be English. It should be on the right page.

\end{Rightside}
\pages
\end{pages}

\end{document}

What am I doing wrong?  Shouldn't this give me two pages of text?
