Dear all,

I wonder if anyone can help me with the following problem. I am tagging Arabic texts (classical Arabic sources, mostly biographical dictionaries and chronicles) to be converted into XML format for the following analysis. Currently I am doing that in MS Word 2007, which, despite all improvements, does not handle long text files well and crashes from time to time. I was desperately trying to find a good alternative, but did not succeed so far.

If you switch to Linux, than you can definitely do almost everything with Emacs 24:

I don't know the status of the MS Windows ports of Emacs.

Best regards
