The macro \NewList
is defined in biditools.sty
(originally defined in lollipop
) as:
\def\bidi@csarg#1#2{\expandafter#1\csname#2\endcsname}
\def\NewList:#1 {\bidi@csarg\newtoks{#1}\global\csname#1\endcsname{}}
which is different from that defined in easylist.sty
.
It should be noted that the macro \NewList
is not used anywhere in bidi
or xepersian
packages,
however, in the following code it causes failure.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{easylist}
\usepackage[fontsloadable]{xepersian} % option is required because
% xepersian 21.8 and 21.9 prevent loading fonts
% with the string "HM" in their font name.
\settextfont[Scale=1.44]{Amiri}
\setlatintextfont[Scale=1.44]{Psychedelia HM}
\pagestyle{empty}
\begin{document}
\begin{easylist}\NewList
§ تراز اول --- \lr{first level}
§§§ تراز سوم --- \lr{third level}
\end{easylist}
\end{document}
The error message is:

If you say, e.g., `\def\a1{...}', then you must always
put `1' after `\a', since control sequence names are
made up of letters only. The macro here has not been
followed by the required stuff, so I'm ignoring it.
?
Is it safe to comment the macro \NewList
out in biditools.sty
?
If yes, is there any (internal or external) command in LaTeX that
I can use instead of \NewList
?
\NewList
command is defined to require:
after it. – egreg Dec 4 '18 at 15:15
