CTAN update: arabluatex
arabluatex v1.10.2: This update is a follow-up to v.1.10 which was as follows: - *Important notice*: \cap{} which was already defined in standard math mode has been superseded by \uc{}. Users should replace the former with the latter in their source files. - \uc{} has been rewritten from scratch and is now able to process Arabic proper names consisting of several subsequent words. See the documentation on p. 33. - New command \prname{} for Arabic proper names to be inserted in running English text in the same typeface as the surrounding text. v1.10.2: - 'ibn' should not be uppercased unless the preceding proper name be missing. - correction of a few typos.

arabluatex – ArabTeX for LuaLaTeX
This package provides for LuaLaTeX an ArabTeX-like interface to generate Arabic writing from an 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 ArabTeX input notation. Its output can be set in the same modes of vocalization as ArabTeX, 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 .tex source files, in addition to printed books, TEI xml compliant critical editions and/or lexicons that can be searched, analyzed and correlated in various ways.
