ArabXeTeX provides a convenient ArabTeX-like user-interface for
|
|
typesetting languages using the Arabic script in XeLaTeX, with
|
|
flexible access to font features. Input in ArabTeX notation can
|
|
be set in three different vocalization modes or in roman
|
|
transliteration. Direct UTF-8 input is also supported. The
|
|
parsing and converting of ArabTeX input to Unicode is done by
|
|
means of TECkit mappings. Version 1.0 provides support for
|
|
Arabic, Maghribi Arabic, Farsi (Persian), Urdu, Sindhi,
|
|
Kashmiri, Ottoman Turkish, Kurdish, Jawi (Malay) and Uighur.
|
|
The documentation (not yet complete) covers topics such as
|
|
typesetting the Holy Quran, typesetting bidirectional critical
|
|
editions (with ednotes), and information on various recommended
|
|
OpenType fonts for the Arabic script and for transliterating
|
|
Oriental languages.
