'''ArabTeX''' is a free software package providing support for the [[Arabic alphabet|Arabic]] and [[Hebrew alphabet|Hebrew]] [[alphabet]]s to [[TeX]] and [[LaTeX]]. Written by Klaus Lagally, it can take [[Romanization|romanized]] [[ASCII]] or native script input to produce quality ligatures for [[Arabic language|Arabic]], [[Persian language|Persian]], [[Urdu language|Urdu]], [[Pashto language|Pashto]], [[Sindhi language|Sindhi]], [[Western Punjabi (Lahnda)]], [[Maghreb|Maghribi]], [[Uyghur language|Uyghur]], [[Kashmiri language|Kashmiri]], [[Hebrew language|Hebrew]], [[Judeo-Arabic language|Judeo-Arabic]], [[Ladino language|Ladino]] and [[Yiddish language|Yiddish]]. ArabTeX characters are placed within a TeX/LaTeX document using the command <syntaxhighlight lang="latex" inline>\RL{ ... }</syntaxhighlight> or the environment <syntaxhighlight lang="latex" inline>\begin{RLtext} ... \end{RLtext}</syntaxhighlight>. ArabTeX is released under the  [[LaTeX Project Public License]] v1+.<ref>{{Cite FTP |url=ftp://ftp.informatik.uni-stuttgart.de/pub/arabtex/arabtex.htm |server=ftp.informatik.uni-stuttgart.de |title=FTP link }}</ref>
