+--------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ Processing Hebrew with ArabTeX Version 3.05
+ ===========================================
+ These features are not yet described in the User Manual!
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+ To process Hebrew input with ArabTeX, you have to load the Hebrew
+ extension "hebtex.sty" that will load several additional modules.
+ After ArabTeX has been loaded, proceed as follows:
+
+ - with LaTeX2e say: \usepackage {hebtex}
+
+ - with LaTeX 2.09: add the style option "hebtex".
+
+ - for use with Plain TeX, say "\input hebtex"; ArabTeX AND the
+ Hebrew extension will be loaded.
+
+ The extension provides a language mode \sethebrew, and several
+ common encodings of texts in Hebrew, that may be switched by
+ the \setcode command. One of the encodings is compatible with
+ Dov Grobgeld's editor HED, so files prepared for HebrewTeX are
+ supposed to be compatible, including most HebrewTeX commands
+ (the Hebrew date quite probably does NOT work correctly).
+ Hebrew "newcode" encoding probably works too, but has not yet
+ been tested. In addition, the standard ArabTeX encoding has been
+ extended to cater for Hebrew too.
+
+ Language switching:
+
+ - \sethebrew switches to Hebrew mode, \setarab back to Arabic.
+ Remember to switch the encoding and the vowelization mode too!
+
+ Standard encoding:
+
+ - \setcode {standard} or \setcode {arabtex}
+ switches to the standard encoding, defined as follows:
+
+ ' aleph b beth g gimel d daleth
+ h heh w waw z zayin _h chet
+ _t teth y yod k kaph l lamed
+ m mem n nun s samekh ` ayin
+ p peh .s sade q qof r resh
+ ,s sin ^s shin S s(h)in t taw
+
+ Note: without punctuation, sin, shin and s(h)in look identical;
+ otherwise "sin" has a dot to the left, "shin" has a dot to the
+ right, "s(h)in" is the form without a dot.
+
+ There are some alternative encodings for soft consonants:
+
+ v for b f for p
+
+ - \vocalize (default) switches on vowels and special punctuation;
+ \novocalize switches them off again.
+
+ "dagesh lene" with "bgdkpt" and "mappiq" with "h" is expressed
+ by prefixing a dot:
+ ".b", ".g", ".d", ".k", ".p", ".t"; ".h"
+
+ Vowels are encoded as follows:
+
+ short long defective half
+ vowels vowels notation vowels
+
+ a pathach A qames .a chateph patach
+ e segol E sere yod _e sere .e chateph segol
+ i chireq I chireq yod .i shewa
+ o qames chatuph O cholem waw _o cholem .o chateph qames
+ u qibbus U shureq .u no vowel mark
+
+ The "matres lectionis" can also be written explicitly, e.g.,
+ "_ey" for "E", "iy" for "I", "_ow" for "O"
+
+ - "patach furtivum" is written ".a" BEFORE its carrier: "rU.a_h".
+
+ - "dagesh forte" is expressed by doubling the consonant; thus two
+ equal consonants in sequence (even in \novocalize mode) must
+ be separated by some short vowel indicator (or ".u"), if the
+ standard encoding is used.
+
+ - "dagesh orthophonicum" is coded like "dagesh forte".
+
+ - "meteg" is indicated by | after the vowel.
+
+ - "maqqef" is -- (en-dash; a single hyphen will be ignored)
+
+ - Prefixes may be separated by a single hyphen, which appears in
+ the transcription without changing the Hebrew writing.
+
+ - For those rare cases where a consonant is missing, input "|
+ (quote bar); this may also carry vowels.
+
+ - "raphe" and cantillation marks are not supported.
+
+ Abbreviations may not be used in this mode as we know of no
+ obvious way of indicating them (sorry; any ideas ?).
+
+ Other encodings:
+
+ - \setcode {hed}, \setcode {newcode} or \setcode {iso8859-8}
+ activates the verbatim reading module for the Hebrew characters
+ in code positions 128 .. 154 as generated by HED, and also
+ in code positions 224 .. 250 ("newcode", ISO 8859-8).
+
+ If this encoding is used, vowel points, dagesh and meteg cannot
+ be used as they cannot be represented in the input encoding.
+ Abbreviations may be expressed by a single or double apostrophe
+ (right quote). The final and the medial forms of characters are
+ equivalent; ArabTeX chooses the appropriate shape automatically.
+
+ - setcode {bhs} switches to the encoding used in the machine-
+ readable version of BHS. Add "bhs" as a LaTeX style option,
+ or say \input bhs.sty. The line-breaks of the source are
+ (usually) respected. BHS line numbers and comments are only
+ partially supported.
+
+ Transcription systems:
+
+ - \transtrue activates the standard ZDMG transcription, and
+ there are provisions for additional transcription systems:
+
+ - \settrans {zaw) switches to the conventions of "Zeitschrift
+ fuer die Alttestamentliche Wissenschaft" (recommended);
+
+ - \settrans {gesenius} activates the system used in W. Gesenius'
+ Hebrew Grammar, 26th edition (deprecated).
+
+ - \settrans {standard} restores the standard ZDMG transcription.
+
+ Fonts:
+
+ - Presently ArabTeX provides no own Hebrew font but uses the font
+ "hclassic" which can be downloaded e.g., from
+
+ ftp://noa.huji.ac.il/tex/fonts
+ ftp://ftp.dante.de/tex-archive/language/hebrew/fonts
+ ftp://ftp.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/language/hebrew/fonts
+
+ This font has been designed by Joel Hoffman, who also wrote some
+ macro packages from which we took a few ideas for positioning
+ punctuation.
+
+ - If no vowel points are required, the standard fonts "DeadSea",
+ "OldJaffa", TelAviv", and "Jerusalem" can also be used. They
+ are activated by the commands \ds, \oj, \ta, \jm; \hc switches
+ to the default "hclassic" font.
+
+ - The "Shalom" family of fonts is activated by \shlmold, \shlmscr,
+ and \shlmstk. Their vowel points presently do NOT work.
+
+ - In case a font is not found but locally available, check and,
+ if required, correct the exact spelling of the font name within
+ the file "Uheb.fd". There are various variants on the Net.
+
+ - Comments and bug reports are welcome.
