%% The file PRIMER.TEX: typesetting Hebrew-English language primers.
%% =================================================================
%%
%% The output of this file should be regarded as a work in progress
%% rather than as a finished product.  It turns out to be unexpectedly
%% difficult to create TeX macros that handle this situation; that is,
%% the situation of (1) numbering lines in some fashion (often
%% desirable in language texts to make it easy to refer to the line),
%% and (2) placing an unknown word and its definition in the margin,
%% but placing this definition next to the appearance of the original
%% word in the source file.  The main reason for the difficulty lies
%% in the fact that in the transformation between Hebrew and English,
%% there are a few \catcode changes.  Category codes are often stamped
%% irrevocably on characters when TeX slurps up an input file, and so
%% agonizing care must be taken to deal with this problem.  One
%% approach is to write problem phrases out to a file and to then
%% re-read the file when the text is needed.  This works because text
%% read from a file can be assigned catcodes on the basis of the
%% context at the time this temp file is read.  Also, the current
%% macros work only for a portion of text.  Some additional work would
%% be necessary to typeset several pages-worth of primer.
%%
%% Directions for compiling: One of the output files of the process is
%% called primer.voc.  When you have made all your revisions, copy
%% primer.voc to a file called primer.v.  The macros expect this file
%% to be present.  The skeleton of operations would look something
%% like this:
%%   omega primer
%%   cp primer.voc primer.v
%%   omega primer
%%   odvips primer
%% (cp is the Unix 'copy' command; your operating system may use
%% something different.)
%%
%% Anyone interested in pursuing these issues further is invited to
%% get in touch with me.
