[XeTeX] Arabxetex, ednote

[Arash Zeini]

Hello,

I have used ledmac for a small project and am quite happy with it. I continue using ledmac and it responds well to my needs. It is well documented and mature enough. I did not have the same impression about ednote as I initially looked into it.

Regards,
Arash
