Hi All,
I want to write the names of the authors in arabic text in front of the name in Latin.

Anyone have some experience with that? Which package should I use and where I can get information about it.

Hello there,

I strongly recommend using "arabi" package. It is very powerful, and the manual is extensive. The examples in the manual should be enough for what you want to do.

Cheers,
If there is no way, we will make one...
