The ledmac package is for typesetting critical editions. It is a
LaTeX port, and extension, of the plain TeX EDMAC, TABMAC and EDSTANZA macros. The ledpar package is an extension of ledmac enabling parallel typesetting in columns or on facing pages. The ledarab package is an extension enabling the use of arabic script, as implemented by ArabTeX, in critical editions (temporarily ledafoot.sty is provided to support regular footnotes in ArabTeX).
These 3 packages are deprecated : - Ledmac is replaced by eledmac, or better reledmac - Ledpar is replaced by eledpar, or better reledpar - Learab is unmaintened. You should consider using of XeLaTeX instead.
Bug reports and suggestions are welcome.

To install the ledmac package:
o run: latex ledmac.ins (which will generate ledmac.sty) o Move ledmac.sty (and ledpatch.sty if it exists) to a location where LaTeX will find it (for more information on this see the FAQ).
To generate a second copy of the manual (which is already supplied as a PDF file):
o run: make ledmac.pdf
The *.eps files are example pages processed with the ledmac package.
They are included as figures in ledmac.dtx, which also contains the source code for them.
Installation of the other packages (via ledpar.ins and ledarab.ins)
is similar.
