NAME

       Encode::Arabic - Encodings of Arabic

SYNOPSIS

           use Encode::Arabic;                 # imports just like 'use Encode' even with options would

           while ($line = <>) {                # renders the ArabTeX notation for Arabic both in the ..

               print encode 'utf8', decode 'arabtex', $line;          # .. Arabic script proper and the
               print encode 'utf8', decode 'arabtex-zdmg', $line;     # .. Latin phonetic transcription
           }

           # 'use Encode::Arabic ":modes"' would export the functions controlling the conversion modes

           Encode::Arabic::demode 'arabtex', 'default';
           Encode::Arabic::enmode 'buckwalter', 'full', 'xml', 'strip off kashida';

           # Arabic in lower ASCII transliterations <--> Arabic script in Perl's internal encoding

           $string = decode 'ArabTeX', $octets;
           $octets = encode 'Buckwalter', $string;

           $string = decode 'Buckwalter', $octets;
           $octets = encode 'ArabTeX', $string;

           # Arabic in lower ASCII transliterations <--> Latin phonetic transcription, Perl's utf8

           $string = decode 'Buckwalter', $octets;
           $octets = encode 'ArabTeX', $string;

           $string = decode 'ArabTeX-ZDMG', $octets;
           $octets = encode 'utf8', $string;

DESCRIPTION

       This module is a wrapper for various implementations of the encoding systems used for the
       Arabic language and covering even some non-Arabic extensions to the Arabic script. The
       included modules fit in the philosophy of Encode::Encoding and can be used directly with
       the Encode module.

   LIST OF ENCODINGS
       ArabTeX
           ArabTeX multi-character notation for Arabic / Perl's internal format for the Arabic
           script

           Encode::Arabic::ArabTeX, uses Encode::Mapper

       ArabTeX-RE
           Deprecated method using sequential regular-expression substitutions. Limited in scope
           over the ArabTeX notation and non-efficient in data processing, still, not requiring
           the Encode::Mapper module.

           Encode::Arabic::ArabTeX::RE

       ArabTeX-Verbatim
           ArabTeX multi-character verbatim notation for Arabic / Perl's internal format for the
           Arabic script

           Encode::Arabic::ArabTeX::Verbatim, uses Encode::Mapper

       ArabTeX-ZDMG
           ArabTeX multi-character notation for Arabic / Perl's internal format for the Latin
           phonetic trascription in the ZDMG style

           Encode::Arabic::ArabTeX::ZDMG, uses Encode::Mapper

       ArabTeX-ZDMG-RE
           Deprecated method using sequential regular-expression substitutions. Limited in scope
           over the ArabTeX notation and non-efficient in data processing, still, not requiring
           the Encode::Mapper module.

           Encode::Arabic::ArabTeX::ZDMG::RE

       Buckwalter
           Buckwalter one-to-one notation for Arabic / Perl's internal format for the Arabic
           script

           Encode::Arabic::Buckwalter

       Parkinson
           Parkinson one-to-one notation for Arabic / Perl's internal format for the Arabic
           script

           Encode::Arabic::Parkinson

       Habash
           Habash-Soudi-Buckwalter one-to-one notation for Arabic / Perl's internal format for
           the Arabic script

           Encode::Arabic::Habash

       There are generic aliases to these provided by Encode. Case does not matter and all
       characters of the class "[ _-]" are interchangeable.

       Note that the standard Encode module already deals with several other single-byte encoding
       schemes for Arabic popular with whichever operating system, be it *n*x, Windows, DOS or
       Macintosh.  See Encode::Supported and Encode::Byte for their identification names and
       aliases.

   EXPORTS & MODES
       The module exports as if "use Encode" also appeared in the calling package. The "import"
       options are just delegated to Encode and imports performed properly, with the exception of
       the ":modes" option coming first in the list. In such a case, the following functions will
       be introduced into the namespace of the importing package:

       enmode ($enc, @list)
           Calls the "enmode" method associated with the given $enc encoding, and passes the
           @list to it.  The idea is similar to the "encode" functions and methods of the Encode
           and Encode::Encoding modules, respectively. Used for control over the modes of
           conversion.

       demode ($enc, @list)
           Analogous to "enmode", but calling the appropriate "demode" method. See the individual
           implementations of the listed encodings.
