\section{Invoking Arabic in Context}
In the Arabtex package, written by Klaus Lagally, Arabic text can be =
introduced in two ways:
The first is a brief notation, i.e. \type{\<}, for single words or short =
phrases: \type{\<mu.hammad>}, e.g. \<mu.hammad>. With and without =
vocalization etc.
\blank
Or \type{\<mu.hammad 'i_d q"aAm zay"d" + i_d yaqUm zayd + A_d zyd =
q"aAm>}, resulting in: \<mu.hammad 'i_d q"aAm zay"d" + i_d yaqUm zayd + =
A_d zyd q"aAm>\footnote{\<mu.hammad>.}
\blank
The second is the environment \type{\startarabic} for entire paragraphs:
\blank
\starttyping
\startarabic
mu.hammad 'i_d q"aAm zay"d" + i_d yaqUm zyd + A_d zyd q"aAm
\stoparabic
\stoptyping
Which results in:
\startarabic
mu.hammad 'i_d q"aAm zay"d" + i_d yaqUm zyd + A_d zyd q"aAm
\stoparabic
\blank
Second test:
\startarabic
mu.hammad 'i_d q"aAm zay"d" + i_d yaqUm zyd + A_d zyd q"aAm
\stoparabic
{\em As can be seen, the command generates a brief sequence of =
nonsensical Arabic. I hope this can be fixed!}
\blank
%Short and long lists alike work flawlessly:
%\startitemize[1., packed]
%\item \<al-maq.sad>?
%\item \<mu.hammad 'i_d q"aAm zay"d">
%\stopitemize
%\startitemize[1., packed]
%\item \<Al|ll_ah akbar>
%\item \<.himAyaT>, nog iets in het Nederlands.
%\item \<.himAyaT>, nog iets in het Nederlands.
%\item \<mu.hammad 'i_d q"aAm zay"d">
%%%\item {\transtrue \arabfalse \<mu.hammad 'i_d q"Am zay"d">}
%%%\item {\arabtrue \transfalse \<.himAyaT>}, nog iets in het =
Nederlands.
%\item \<.himAyaT>, nog iets in het Nederlands.
%\item \<mu.hammad 'i_d q"aAm zay"d">
%\stopitemize
\section{Transcription issues}
With the Arabtex package it is possible to generate a transcription =
based on the same input by means of the command \type{\transtrue}. (The =
Arabic script can be switched off altogether with \type{\arabicfalse}.) =
The transcription is indispensible in scholarly work. An example of a =
transcription is \type{\arabfalse \transtrue \<madInaT, makkaT>} =
\arabfalse \transtrue \<madInaT, makkaT>.
\subsection{hamza and 'ayn}
However, if the input contains a \type{\<`>} or \type{\<'>}, the signs =
for {\em `ayn} and {\em hamza}, Context gets stuck, e.g. =
\type{\arabfalse \transtrue \<`abd al-qAdir>} and \type{\<'a.hmad>} do =
not work. The transcription of \type{\<`>} is something like al raised =
c, whereas that of \type{\<'>} is an inverted c. The ones Lagally has =
devised are very beautiful.
\blank
\subsection{The command \type{cap}}
Furthermore, the command \type{\cap} does not seem to work. (In =
transcription mode, the command \type{\cap} changes the first letter =
into a capital.), e.g. \type{\transtrue \arabfalse \<\cap zakariyA, \cap =
bayrUt, \cap dima^sq>}.
So \type{\<\cap mu.hammad>} should result in {\it Mu\d{h}ammad}, etc.
\blank
All these flaws in the Arabic support still prevent me from migrating to =
Context, even though the interface is superior. I really do hope someone =
can fix them.
