Subject:Hebrew and fancyhdr.sty,
and Hebrew and Wrapping text around figures (picins.sty)
I hope this is the correct place to ask such questions. If not, please
point me to the right place.
I'm having trouble with two packages, when writing in Hebrew:
When using the fancyhdr.sty package, the right and left headers/footers
some time change at some point/s in the document. I know that this depends
on the specific content of the file (it is some times enough to erase one
letter for this to occur), but I couldn't find what triggers this.
Dekel Tzur once told me to choose the document language as Hebrew, but
even that did not always solve the problem.
I am trying to wrap Hebrew text around figures in exercises I give my
students. I have tried several packages, but have found that most
(floatflt and wrapfig) have problems with the enumerate environment. So I
use the picins package. This works fine, except for the fact that it has
problems with the direction of hebrew, i.e. I get a space (for the figure)
on the right, but the figures appears on the left, over the text (or vice
I managed to solve this by putting the following in my preamble:
% "patch" for picins. If given after picinpar command,
% returns par style to normal after picinpar parahraph
and then using \hebparpic instead of \parpic
The problem is that the margins are all wrong. I have a feeling that the
justfication is using English parameters instead of Hebrew ones.
Any suggestions to solving these problems would be appreciated,
