# Overview
This package provides for [LuaLaTeX](http://luatex.org) an
[ArabTeX](http://ctan.org/pkg/arabtex)-like interface to generate Arabic
writing from an [ascii]{.smallcaps} 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 `.tex` source files, in addition to
printed books, `TEI xml` compliant critical editions and/or lexicons
that can be searched, analyzed and correlated in various ways.

This release of arabluatex consists of the following source files:
- `arabluatex.ins`
- `arabluatex.dtx`
- `arabluatex.lua`
- `arabluatex_voc.lua`
- `arabluatex_fullvoc.lua`
- `arabluatex_novoc.lua`
- `arabluatex_trans.lua`
# Installation
1. Run `'lualatex arabluatex.ins'` to produce the `arabluatex.sty`
file;
2. To finish the installation you have to move the following files into
a directory where LaTeX can find them. See the FAQ on `texfaq.org`
at <https://texfaq.org/FAQ-inst-wlcf> for more on this:
- `arabluatex.sty`
- `arabluatex-patch.sty`
- `arabluatex.lua`
- `arabluatex_voc.lua`
- `arabluatex_fullvoc.lua`
- `arabluatex_novoc.lua`
- `arabluatex_trans.lua`
3. Additionally, those who use emacs with AUCTeX may copy
`arabluatex.el` to their `~/.emacs.d/auctex/auto` local directory.
This will enable the appropriate hooks for ArabLuaTeX in AUCTeX.
