%% THIS IS A SAMPLE LATEX FILE DEMONSTRATING HOW TO TYPESET 
%% A CRITICAL EDITION WITH XeTeX, ednotes, and ArabXeTeX.
%% THE TEMPLATE CAN ALSO BE APPLIED, WITH MINOR MODIFICATIONS, 
%% TO CRITICAL EDITIONS INVOLVING RIGHT-TO-LEFT SCRIPTS IN GENERAL 
%% (EITHER IN THE MAIN TEXT OR IN THE CRITICAL APPARATUS). 
%% THUS THE USE OF ArabXeTeX IS NONMANDATORY, BUT THE PACKAGE bidi
%% IS REQUIRED FOR BIDIRECTIONALITY.

%% OK, now we load ednotes with appropriate options. 
%% For each extra level of notes in the critical apparatus we need to 
%% initialize it with the appropriate option, in this case, "Bpara". 
%% Options "modulo", "perpage" and "right" are for line numbers: 
%% they will be printed at the right margin, at a certain interval 
%% to be set by the command \modulolinenumber below, 
%% and with the "perpage" option to start numeration anew on each page.
%% The option "para*" is for having the notes in paragraph format without indentation.
\usepackage[Bpara,modulo,right,perpage,para*]{ednotes}% relies on manyfoot and lineno

%% This makes the footnoterule as wide as the \textwidth
\makeatletter%
\renewcommand{\footnoterule}{\kern-3\p@
  \hrule width \textwidth \kern 2.6\p@}

%%EDNOTES SETUP
%%
%% Line numeration is printed every 5 lines:
\modulolinenumbers[5]

%% This is a little hack to set linenumbering in Arabic 
%% (the mapping is provided with ArabXeTeX):
\renewcommand{\linenumberfont}{\arabicfont\addfontfeature{Mapping=arabicdigits}\tiny}
%%
%% The following macros redefine the default formatting 
%% of various aspects of the critical apparatus.
%% Note that since the edition is contained in a Right-to-Left environment, 
%% the notes should be set RL by default, but to be certain we declare
\PrecedeLevelWith{A}{\setRL}
%% which puts the appropriate "hook" at the beginning of the block A of notes.
%% Here are the customized macros for the default apparatus:
%% The uncommented lines below are changed for typesetting the apparatus in Arabic.
% \renewcommand*{\sameline}[1]{\linesfmt{##1}}%
\renewcommand*{\differentlines}[2]{\linesfmt{\RL{#1\textendash#2}}}% 
\renewcommand*{\linesfmt}[1]{\raisebox{1ex}{\linenumberfont #1}~}% 
\renewcommand{\lemmafmt}[1]{#1~[ }% 
\renewcommand*{\pageandline}[2]{#2.\textLR{#1}}% #1 page, #2 line.
% \renewcommand*{\repeatref}[1]{\raisebox{-.5ex}{$\Vert$}}% << not advisable 
% \renewcommand{\lemmaellipsis}{\textsymmdots}%
% \renewcommand{\notefmt}[1]{##1}%

%% We do not want extra footnoterules between the different levels (see manyfoot doc):
\renewcommand{\extrafootnoterule}{}
\SelectFootnoteRule[0]{extra}

%% We can also customize the critical apparatus for a *specific* level of notes. 
%% In the following case we customize a level B of Left-to-Right notes.
%% To achieve this with ednotes, with need to feed-in the appropriate command
%% as a "hook" to manyfoot by means of:
\PrecedeLevelWith{B}{\unsetRL}
% Now we change the formatting of level B to take into account that it is set left-to-right:
\newcommand{\Bnotefmt}{%
  \renewcommand*{\differentlines}[2]{\linesfmt{##1\textendash##2}}%
  \renewcommand{\lemmafmt}[1]{##1~]\enskip}%
}

%% In our example we define another level of notes, but this time as regular footnotes
%% here keyed by fnsymbols. This customization is independant of ednotes, 
%% and relates to manyfoot directly:
\SetFootnoteHook{\unsetRL}%--> must appear immediately before \DeclareNewFootnote 
\DeclareNewFootnote[para]{C}[fnsymbol]

%% Finally, we define macros that make typing the critical edition as abstract as possible.
%% First the apparatus for VARIANTS in the Arabic text (level A):
\newcommand{\VAR}[2]{\Anote{\textarab{#1}}{\textarab{#2}}}
%% This is for lemmas of the form \VAR{LEMMA1\<LEMMA2\>LEMMA3}{NOTE} 
%% where LEMMA2 is the portion omitted in the note: this macro is necessary 
%% because \< and \> cannot appear inside the argument of \textarab
\newcommand{\VARX}[4]{\Anote{\textarab{#1}\ \<\textarab{#2}\>\ \textarab{#3}}{\textarab{#4}}}
%% Second the comparisions to the Latin translation (level B):
\newcommand{\VARB}[2]{\Bnote{\textarab{#1}}{#2}}
%% Third, the level for plain footnotes (level C):
\newcommand{\NOTE}[1]{\footnoteC{#1}}
%% The typographical "object" that separates successive variants in one note:
\newcommand{\SEP}{\enskip;\enskip} 
%% The typographical "object" that indicates additions in a MS:
\newcommand{\ADD}{\textLR{\textbf{+}}\,}%
%% The typographical "object" that indicates omissions in a MS:
\newcommand{\OM}{\textLR{\textbf{–}}\,}%
%% The typographical "object" that indicates a correction not reflected in any MS:
\newcommand{\CORR}{\textarab{.s.h.h-}}%
%% The typographical "object" that indicates illegible passages in a MS:
\newcommand{\ILLEG}{\textarab{.gayr maqrU'}}%
%% The typographical "object" that indicates a blank in a MS:
\newcommand{\BLANK}{\textarab{bayA.d}}%
%% The typographical "object" that indicates a marginal passage in a MS:
\newcommand{\MARG}{\textarab{bi-al-hAmi^s}}%
%% The typographical "object" that indicates a supralinear passage in a MS:
\newcommand{\SUPERLIN}{\textarab{ta.ht al-sa.tr}}%
%% The typographical "object" in the main text that indicates a lacuna in all MSS:
\newcommand{\LACUNA}{\textLR{\textlangle\,\dots\textrangle}}
%% The typographical "object" in the main text that indicates a restoration:
\newcommand{\RESTOR}[1]{\}~#1~\{}
%%
%% Convenient abbreviations for referring to individual manuscripts
\newcommand{\msE}{\textbf{أ}}
\newcommand{\msB}{\textbf{ب}}
\newcommand{\msN}{\textbf{ن}}
\newcommand{\msL}{\textbf{ل}}
\newcommand{\msT}{\textbf{ط}}
\newcommand{\msM}{\textbf{م}}
