SYNOPSIS
use Encode::Arabic::ArabTeX::ZDMG; # imports just like 'use Encode' would, plus extended options
while ($line = <>) { # maps the ArabTeX notation for Arabic into the Latin symbols
print encode 'utf8', decode 'zdmg', $line; # 'ZDMG' alias 'ArabTeX-ZDMG'
}
# ArabTeX lower ASCII transliteration <--> Latin phonetic transcription, ZDMG style
$string = decode 'ArabTeX-ZDMG', $octets;
$octets = encode 'ArabTeX-ZDMG', $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::ZDMG implements the rules needed for proper interpretation of the ArabTeX notation of Arabic into the phonetic
transcription in the ZDMG style. 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 ;)
