Summary description: A package toa add support of Arabic and Farsi to
(La)-TeX, compliant with BABEL
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The Arabi package provides the Arabic script support for TeX without
the need of any external pre-processor. The Bi-directional capability
s that the user has a TeX--XeT or e-TEX engine. Arabi is fully
compliant with the BABEL system.
Among the new things with Version 1.1:
==========================
+ You can search and copy Arabic and Farsi text from PDF files
generated by pdflatex (read the documentation to know how to)
+ You can use TeX4ht to make HTML files.
+ Now we can have Arabic in the bookmarks sidebar, although hyperref
is still not fully supported yet.
+ In Farsi contexts, Digits (0, 1, . . . , 9) are written with the
extended Indo-Arabic (Farsi) digits.
