\section*{Overview}
\label{sec:overview}
This package provides for \href{http://luatex.org}{Lua\LaTeX} an
\href{http://ctan.org/pkg/arabtex}{Arab\TeX}-like interface to
generate Arabic writing from an \textsc{ascii} transliteration. It is
particularly well-suited for complex documents such as technical
documents or critical editions where a lot of left-to-right commands
intertwine with Arabic writing. arabluatex is able to process any
Arab\TeX\ input notation. Its output can be set in the same modes of
vocalization as Arab\TeX, or in different roman transliterations. It
further allows many typographical refinements. It will eventually
interact with some other packages yet to come to produce from
\verb|.tex| source files, in addition to printed books, \texttt{TEI
xml} compliant critical editions and/or lexicons that can be
searched, analyzed and correlated in various ways.

\section*{Installation}
\label{sec:installation}
\begin{enumerate}
\item Run \verb+'lualatex arabluatex.ins'+ to produce the
\verb+arabluatex.sty+ file;
\item To finish the installation you have to move the following files
into a directory where LaTeX can find them. See the FAQ on
\verb|texfaq.org| at
\url{https://texfaq.org/FAQ-inst-wlcf} for more on this:
\begin{itemize}
\item \verb|arabluatex.sty|
\item \verb|arabluatex-patch.sty|
\item \verb|arabluatex.lua|
\item \verb|arabluatex_voc.lua|
\item \verb|arabluatex_fullvoc.lua|
\item \verb|arabluatex_novoc.lua|
\item \verb|arabluatex_trans.lua|
\end{itemize}
\item Additionally, those who use emacs with AUC\TeX\ may copy
\verb|arabluatex.el| to their \verb|~/.emacs.d/auctex/auto| local
directory. This will enable the appropriate hooks for ArabLua\TeX\
in AUC\TeX.
\end{enumerate}
