NAME¶
Encode::Arabic::ArabTeX::Verbatim - Interpreter of the Verbatim variant of the
ArabTeX notation
SYNOPSIS¶
use Encode::Arabic::ArabTeX::Verbatim; # imports just like 'use Encode' would, plus extended options
while ($line = <>) { # maps the ArabTeX notation for Arabic into the Arabic script
print encode 'utf8', decode 'arabtex-verb', $line; # 'ArabTeX-Verbatim' alias 'ArabTeX-Verb'
}
# ArabTeX language-dependent transliteration <--> ArabTeX verbatim transliteration
$string = decode 'ArabTeX-Verbatim', $octets;
$octets = encode 'ArabTeX-Verbatim', $string;
DESCRIPTION¶
ArabTeX is an excellent extension to TeX/LaTeX designed for typesetting the
right-to-left scripts of the Orient. It comes up with very intuitive and
comprehensible lower ASCII transliterations, the expressive power of which is
even better than that of the scripts.
Encode::Arabic::ArabTeX::Verbatim implements the rules needed for proper
interpretation of the ArabTeX verbatim notation, which is discussed in the
ArabTeX User Manual. The conversion ifself is done by Encode::Mapper, and the
user interface is built on the Encode::Encoding module.
Relevant guidance is given in Encode::Arabic::ArabTeX, from which this module
inherits. The transformation rules are, however, quite different ;)
This work is presented in its
development version!
