As the answer here state, after installing culmus-latex, the following document
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{ucs}
\usepackage[utf8x]{inputenc}
\usepackage[english,hebrew]{babel}
\begin{document}
שלום \L{World}!
\end{document}
compiles with pdflatex with no errors. After changing the document class to extarticle, the following error occurs: Command \l@chapter undefined. \fi}}}}. The error comes from the file rlbabel.def. In this file there is the following code (starting at line 401):
\@ifclassloaded{letter}{}{%
\@ifclassloaded{slides}{}{%
\@ifclassloaded{article}{}{%
\renewcommand*\l@chapter[2]{%
\ifnum \c@tocdepth >\m@ne
\addpenalty{-\@highpenalty}%
\vskip 1.0em \@plus\p@
\setlength\@tempdima{1.5em}%
\begingroup
\parindent \z@ \if@rl\leftskip\else\rightskip\fi \@pnumwidth
\parfillskip -\@pnumwidth

\hskip -\if@rl\rightskip\else\leftskip\fi
#1\nobreak\hfil \nobreak\hb@xt@\@pnumwidth{\hss#2}\par
\penalty\@highpenalty
\endgroup
\fi}}}}
It seems that babel-hebrew checks if the document class is one of letter, slides or article, if so it does nothing, else it changes the definition of \l@chapter.
Wouldn't it make more sense to check if the command \l@chapter exists and by that determine if it should be changed? if so, who should i contact about the subject?
From this page it looks like there is no active maintainer to babel-hebrew, and the documentation was last updated in 2013.
