encode::arabic::arabtex::re

Encode::Arabic::ArabTeX::RE(3pm)			User Contributed Perl Documentation			  Encode::Arabic::ArabTeX::RE(3pm)

NAME

       Encode::Arabic::ArabTeX::RE - Deprecated Encode::Arabic::ArabTeX implemented with regular expressions

REVISION

	   $Revision: 162 $	   $Date: 2006-12-16 01:16:10 +0100 (Sat, 16 Dec 2006) $

SYNOPSIS

	   use Encode::Arabic::ArabTeX::RE;

	   $string = decode 'arabtex-re', $octets;
	   $octets = encode 'arabtex-re', $string;

DESCRIPTION

       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.

   EXPORTS & MODES
       Exports as if "use Encode" also appeared in the package. Experimental and incomplete support for conversion modes is provided, see
       Encode::Arabic::ArabTeX.
