Hi to all: once I wrote in a posting to this group, that workarounds are cases which show that interaction between users and application is creative and...
... No, line numbering isn't what I was thinking of here; I think you're right when you say it's easier than marginalia though. Line numbers aren't really...
... Do you mean a page style defines the area where margin notes *can* go? Like a mirror area (left aligned on right pages and right-aligned on left pages)?...
... You raise a valid point, but I would consider it just a technical constraint the user needs to be (made) aware of. ... That might give you the printable...
Hello, ... Igor, and all others, I know that, just this is not exactly the same thing; and Ori knows that, because we commented this little issue separately;...
Hi to all: ... Yes, my suggestion is a workaround. ;-) I discovered it accidentally, as you can imagine. ... No, you are totally correct. This is the eternal...
Hi to all, This is my final approach to marginalia, a very useful feature anyway, though not perhaps the most urgent (but the connotation of 'urgent' may vary,...
Hi All, Some facts: A. We fully intend to support both OpenType and AAT. B. Mellel doesn't need OpenType or AAT to properly support Arabic. Our implementation...
Hi Jeremy, ... Is it necessary to show the Anchor point? Remember that in my scheme the anchoring is to the entire paragraph, so there is no real anchor point....
Enter your vote today! A new poll has been created for the redlex group: What kind of Arabic script support do you need to see in Mellel? Are Arabic and...

The example image gives a fairly good idea about the capabilities, I think. Ori...
I don't think marginalia should come under the heading of DTP. To the contrary, a DTP application would be hard pressed to supply the automated options we...
I voted for maximum support in the new poll only for my selfish interest. But this is not an issue that can be decided "by popular demand". There is no popular...

Hi Ori, Thanks for your reply. ... You have said so before and it is a great boon. Much appreciated! ... Indeed! Fonts are also a prerequisite, though....
... I think it's important to distinguish which uses of marginalia are anchored to a paragraph, and which are anchored to a specific point in a paragraph....
Hi Ori, I did not mean marginalia is a DTP question, just that the overall topics have again gently migrated towards DTP issues. My view was/is that marginalia...
Dear friends, The poll may be nice to know what those of us who follow closely the development of Mellel think, but can you imagine the sensation of finding...
... Ori, I'm afraid your example makes a good case for Jeremy Ginsburg's argument. Typically, the first line of the side note needs to align with (A) the first...
Hi to all, I gave my vote for more Arabic support, though I am not an arabist or orientalist at large, considering the (potential) needs of my colleagues, one...
Hi Sorin, Don't forget "column" notes (notes positioned in a special column at the right or left end of the page) -- this is separate from Marginalia and...
... I think that notes (i.e., comments of this sort or the other) are not marginalia, although they may be positioned in the "marginalia column". Those will be...
Hi Pim, ... Syriac is a different case then Persian and Arabic. Here, much like the situation with Devangari and co., you must implement a mechanism that is...
Kind Mellel users, Please forgive me for asking a non-Mellel and non-OS X question, but I thought that the experience of users on this list might be able to...
I realized that I wasn't very clear. I believe that that question is regarding using extended Roman fonts for Arabic names and words. Thank you, Trevor...
I'm afraid your friend didn't give sufficient information about the characters he's looking for. And your clarification didn't help much in my understanding...

As the real discussions here range over marginalia and the nuances of Arabic typography, my own simple mind is returning to the basics. Reworking my collection...
