an>="header"> <h1 class="title">The arabluatex package – README file</h1> <h2 class="author">Robert Alessi</h2> </div> <h1 id="sec:overview" class="unnumbered">Overview</h1> <p>This package provides for <a href="http://luatex.org">LuaLaTeX</a> an <a href="http://ctan.org/pkg/arabtex">ArabTeX</a>-like interface to generate Arabic writing from an <span style="font-variant: small-caps;">ascii</span> transliteration. It is particularly well-suited for complex documents such as technical documents or critical editions where a lot of left-to-right commands intertwine with Arabic writing. arabluatex is able to process any ArabTeX input notation. Its output can be set in the same modes of vocalization as ArabTeX, or in different roman transliterations. It further allows many typographical refinements. It will eventually interact with some other packages yet to come to produce from <code>.tex</code> source files, in addition to printed books, <code>TEI xml</code> compliant critical editions and/or lexicons that can be searched, analyzed and correlated in various ways.</p> <h1 id="license-and-disclamer" class="unnumbered">License and disclamer</h1> <p>ArabLuaTeX – Processing ArabTeX notation under LuaLaTeX</p> <p>Copyright ⓒ 2016–2018 Robert Alessi</p> <p>Please send error reports and suggestions for improvements to Robert Alessi:</p> <ul> <li><p>email: <a href="mailto:alessi@robertalessi.net">alessi@robertalessi.net</a></p></li> <li><p>website: <a href="http://www.robertalessi.net/arabluatex" class="uri">http://www.robertalessi.net/arabluatex</a></p></li> <li><p>comments, feature requests, bug reports: <a href="https://notabug.org/ralessi/arabluatex/issues" class="uri">https://notabug.org/ralessi/arabluatex/issues</a></p></li> </ul> <p>This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.</p> <p>This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
