On Thu, 8 Nov 2007, François Charette submitted an update to the
arabxetex
package.
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.
