I am writing my Ph.D. thesis with LaTeX. As my thesis requires typesetting Arabic text, I was very glad to learn that LuaLaTeX can easily handle that. The questions and knowledge with regard to LaTeX I am primarily interested in surround:

• LuaLaTeX
• ledmac/ledpar
• Biblatex
• csquotes

I use the following applications:

• TeXShop
• BibDesk

I work in LaTeX with the following languages:

• English/German/Latin
• Arabic/Persian
• Greek
• Syriac
