The vowels have to be typed ''after'' the consonant to which they belong; for example, (:he 'E:lohiym :) is coded as [=(:he 'E:lohiym :)=]. The exception is the ''patah furtivum'', which can be used only on the letters (:he h :), (:he h* :), (:he .h :) and (:he ` :); for example, (:he rU/a.h :) is coded as [=(:he rU/a.h :)=]. The (:he O :) (O) and (:he U :) (U) can also be coded as wo and w* respectively.

Added lines 1-29:
The author writes text in Roman script; the text displays (right to left) in Hebrew script. For example:

(:markup:)
(:he b*:re'+siyt b*ArA' 'E:lohiym 'et ha+s*Amayim w:'et hA'ArE.s; :)

(:he w:hA'ArE.s hAy:tAh tohU wAbohU w:.ho+sEk: `al--p*:ney t:hOm w:rU/a.h 'E:lohiym m:ra.hEpEt `al--p*:ney ham*Ayim; :)
(:markupend:)

The author can also include short Hebrew words and phrases in normal running prose. The input [=(:he 'bgd :)=] will produce the output (:he 'bgd :). The `PDF supports the ''patah furtivum'' form of the patah point, but the `HTML does not.

This is the translation table for consonants:

||align=center cellpadding=3
|| [='=] || b || g || d || h || w || z || .h || .t || y || k || K || l || m || M ||
|| (:he ' :) || (:he b :) || (:he g :) || (:he d :) || (:he h :) || (:he w :) || (:he z :) || (:he .h :) || (:he .t :) || (:he y :) || (:he k| :) || (:he K :) || (:he l :) || (:he m| :) || (:he M :) ||
|| `  ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|| n || N || s || [=`=] || p || P || .s || .S || q || r || /s || ,s || +s || t || `  ||
|| (:he n| :) || (:he N :) || (:he s| :) || (:he ` :) || (:he p| :) || (:he P :) || (:he .s| :) || (:he .S :) || (:he q :) || (:he r :) || (:he /s| :) || (:he ,s| :) || (:he +s| :) || (:he t :) || `  ||

This is the translation table for vowels and symbols:

||align=center cellpadding=3
|| i || e || E || E: || a || /a || a: || A || A: || o || u || * || : || O || U || ; || [=--=] ||
|| (:he ?i :) || (:he ?e :) || (:he ?E :) || (:he ?E: :) || (:he ?a :) || (:he /a? :) || (:he ?a: :) || (:he ?A :) || (:he ?A: :) || (:he ?o :) || (:he ?u :) || (:he ?* :) || (:he ?: :) || (:he O :) || (:he U :) || (:he ; :) || (:he -- :) ||


The vowels have to be typed ''after'' the consonant to which they belong; for example, (:he 'E:lohiym :) is coded as [=(:he 'E:lohiym :)=]. The exception is the ''patah furtivum'', which can be used only on the letters (:he h :), (:he h* :), (:he .h :) and (:he ` :); for example, (:he rU/a.h :) is coded as [=(:he rU/a.h :)=]. The (:he O :) (O) and (:he U :) (U) can also be coded as wo and w* respectively.

The translation conventions are those used in the Latex [[cjhebrew package -> http://www.ctan.org/pkg/cjhebrew]], which also enables `PDF production.
