ArabTeX
ArabTeX is a free software package from Klaus Lagally to support TeX and LaTeX in processing left-handed scripts such as Arabic and Hebrew .
properties
The standard input coding is an extended DMG transcription ; other common codings including Unicode are also supported. During the conversion, language-specific writing rules are observed, numerous ligatures are generated automatically.
In addition to Arabic and Persian , other languages that use an extended Arabic script are supported, such as Urdu , Pashto , Sindhi , Maghribi , Uighur , Kashmiri and Jawi . In addition to Hebrew itself, a Hebrew mode also supports Judaeo-Arabic , Ladino and Yiddish .
use
Left-moving texts can form their own paragraph using the environment \begin{RLtext} … \end{RLtext}, or they \RL{ … }can be inserted into a running paragraph with the command .
