Editing XeTeX (section)

==Arabic support==

XeTeX also supports [[right-to-left]] scripts, such as [[Arabic]]. One way of rendering Arabic in XeTeX is to use the package arabxetex. In order to do so, the Arabic is placed inside the following:

<syntaxhighlight lang="latex">
\begin{arab}[utf]
.
.
.
\end{arab}
</syntaxhighlight>

The following code illustrates this:

{{col-begin}}
{{col-break}}
<syntaxhighlight lang="latex">
\documentclass[12pt,fleqn,titlepage,twoside,a4paper]{book}
\usepackage{etex}
\usepackage{amsfonts,amsmath,amssymb,graphicx}
\usepackage{txfonts}
\usepackage[centering,includeheadfoot,margin=1in]{geometry}
\usepackage{tabvar}
\usepackage{arabxetex}
%\newfontfamily{\arabicfont}[Script=Arabic,Scale=1.5]{Traditional Arabic}

\parindent = 0pt

\begin{document}

\begin{arab}[utf]
\chapter*{\textarab[utf]{ حِكَم من تَجمـيعي }}
\section*{\textarab[utf]{   شِعر    }}

  أديـن بدين الحـــب أنـى تــوجـهت ركـائبه \qquad فالحـــب دينــي و إيماني\\
 لنا أسوة في بشر هند و اختها و قيس و ليلى \qquad ثـــــم مـــــي و غـــيــــلان
\end{arab}

\end{document}
</syntaxhighlight>
{{col-break}}
