Summary description: An ArabTeX-like interface for LuaLaTeX
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
arabluatex v1.12:
This release includes many long-awaited features. Actually, arabluatex is
getting close to v2.0:
- \abjad now accepts commands and counters as arguments, so that almost
anything can be abjad-numbered: pages, lists,
&c.
- Introduction of LPeg patterns, making it possible to accept almost any LaTeX
command in Arabic environments. Regular
footnotes and LR/LRfootnotes have been extensively tested, along with those of
packages such as manyfoot.
- Much more tolerant \MkArbBreak and new \MkArbBreak* which directs arabluatex
to close the current Arabic environment
before any 'declared' command, then resume it just after (to be used with great
caution though).
- Color support! arabluatex is now able to render in color either words, parts
of words (syllabes) or even diacritics
without losing any of the refined ligatures featured by such beautiful Arabic
fonts as Amiri. Section 7 of the
documentation goes into details, although some of the techniques implemented
require a good acquaintance with arabtex
coding. ----------------------------------------------------------------------
