[XeTeX] typesetting original with translation on top and bottom

[Juan Acevedo]

Hi Adam,

Some time ago I fancied that something similar, some sort of complex Talmud layout, might be achieved using Nicola Talbot's flowfram.sty. If I remember well, she was optimistic about the possibility, but then I never went ahead with it. Maybe you can explore that route.

There is also what people have used to do some impressive critical editions with several layers of footnotes and whatnot: ledmac and ledpar, now revamped and renamed to eled­mac and eled­par, methinks.

I hope these pointers help. I'd be very interested to know how you solve this and I'd be happy to try and help, at least doing testing if you need to.

Juan
