\section{Introduction}

\indexterm{Kashida}{Kashida} is used in Persian and Arabic typography to justify the text regardless
of the number of the words on the line by elongating characters at certain
points instead of expanding spaces between words or individual letters.

One of the packages that implements kashida feature in Persian typesetting is
\hyperref[HM:Brief-outline-of-the-issues]{\indexterm{xepersian}{\textsf{xepersian}} which
 unfortunately has many bugs}. In addition kashida feature in
\textsf{xepersian} has problems with some fonts such as \mbox{\textsf{HM Series}}
available at\linebreak[4]
\href{https://dma8hm1334.bitbucket.io}{\texttt{https://dma8hm1334.bitbucket.io}}
and \mbox{\textsf{X Series 2}} available at\linebreak[4]
\href{http://wiki.irmug.com/index.php/X_Series_2}{\texttt{http://wiki.irmug.com/index.php/X\_Series\_2}}.

The \indexterm{texnegar}{\TeXNegar} package implements kashida justification in LuaTeX and XeTeX
and fixes known bugs in \textsf{xepersian}.

The following files in the directory \texttt{texmf-dist/doc/latex/texnegar/} can be used as simple
examples of the usage of the package:

I will do my best to fix all the bugs you report, but, unfortunately,
time is a big hurdle to overcome; so, my apologies in advance for those
which I cannot make time to fix.

\section{Brief outline of the issues}\label{HM:Brief-outline-of-the-issues}

Kashida is one of the most important features that must be included in any
Persian typesetter. In \textsf{xepersian} this feature is implemented but with some
problems. See pages 16 -- 25 for pictorial illustrations for various font styles.
These problems along with the fixes in \TeXNegar{} are briefly:

\newcounter{bean}
  \begin{list}{P-\Roman{bean}}{\usecounter{bean}\setlength{\rightmargin}{\leftmargin}}
    \item In \textsf{xepersian} \indexterm{overlapping of glyphs}{overlapping of glyphs} occurs in letter
      combinations such as "{\RtoL{ïº‘ + ï»°}}", "{\RtoL{ïº— + ï»°}}", and
      "{\RtoL{ï­˜ + ï»°}}" because the character
      \textsf{U+FEF0 (ARABIC LETTER FARSI YEH FINAL FORM)} is replaced with
      another character. This is fixed by modifying the fixed part of the
      glue inserted between the consecutive characters. Furthermore, both,
      the fixed and the stretchable parts of the glue can be changed by the
      user.
    \item In \indexterm{letter combinations}{letter combinations} such as "{\RtoL{ï»« + ï»°}}", in \textsf{xepersian},
      the character \textsf{U+FEEB (ARABIC LETTER HEH INITIAL FORM)} is
      replaced with \textsf{U+06BE (ARABIC LETTER HEH DOACHASHEMEE)}. This
      is fixed by inserting the character \textsf{U+200E} before the
      combination "\textsf{U+200D + hrule + U+200D}" which is used as
      stretching item.
  
      {\color{gray}
      Note: \indexterm{Vafa Khalighi}{Vafa Khalighi} has fixed this problem in
      \href{https://tug.org/svn/texlive/trunk/Master/texmf-dist/tex/xelatex/xepersian/kashida-xepersian.def?revision=55165&amp;view=co}%
           {\texttt{xepersian-23.0}},
      by copying the corresponding code from 
      \href{http://www.tug.org/svn/texlive/trunk/Master/texmf-dist/tex/xelatex/xepersian-hm/kashida-xepersian-hm.def?revision=55123&amp;view=co}%
           {\texttt{xepersian-hm-0.5e}}.
      Consequently, the
      option \texttt{KashidaXBFix} along with the commands \linebreak[4]
      \texttt{\textbackslash KashidaXBFixOn} and
      \texttt{\textbackslash KashidaXBFixOff} has been removed in \linebreak[4]
      \texttt{xepersian-23.0} and the later versions.}
          
    \item In \textsf{xepersian} when outline or shadow fonts are used, the gaps
      filled by horizontal rule appears as a solid box. This is fixed by
      using the \textsf{kashida} glyph instead of the horizontal rule in
      \TeXNegar.
    \item Activating kashida in \textsf{xepersian} disturbs \indexterm{ligatures}{ligatures}. This is
      fixed in \TeXNegar{} by escaping the components of the
      ligature which form the glyph, i.e. by inserting an escape character
      before Persian letters joined to form the ligature without any empty
      characters, blank characters, invisible characters and whitespace
      characters which form the glyph. See
      \mbox{Figures \ref{fig:ligatures-xep} and \ref{fig:ligatures-texnegar}}.
      Currently only 3 ligature glyphs are available in
      \TeXNegar, but you can add as many as you want or let
      me know the ligature glyphs that you need, so that I can add them in
      the next release of the package. Of course, this is not the best
      solution, but it works.
  
    \item If italic or oblique style of some fonts, such as \textsf{X Series 2},
      is used in \textsf{xepersian}, an extra \indexterm{gap}{gap} is left between the
      stretched characters. This is fixed in \textsf{HM Series} fonts.
\end{list}

For comparing the outputs of \textsf{xepersian} and \TeXNegar{} with
a variety of options available to these packages, please see the

\section{Package loading and options}

If you are going to use \TeXNegar{} with \textsf{bidi} or \textsf{xepersian} then
please note that \TeXNegar{} should be loaded before \textsf{xepersian}.

For example:
\begin{verbatim}
\documentclass{report}
\usepackage[Minimal=On,Kashida=leaders+glyph]{texnegar}
\usepackage{xepersian}
\end{verbatim}

The options available in \TeXNegar{} are:

\begin{itemize}
  \item \indexterm{General Options}{\textbf{General Options}}: \\
    \begin{itemize}
      \item \indextermsub{General Options}{\textbf{General Options}}{\texttt{Minimal}}: \\
        which has two possible values:
        \begin{itemize}
          \item \indextermsubsub{General Options}{\textbf{General Options}}{\texttt{Minimal}}{On}: \\
            for using \texttt{texnegar} to implement kashida feature only.
  
          \item \indextermsubsub{General Options}{\textbf{General Options}}{\texttt{Minimal}}{Off}: \\
            for using \texttt{texnegar} as a general purpose Persian typesetter (including kashida implementation).
            This is the default value.
        \end{itemize}

      \item \indextermsub{General Options}{\textbf{General Options}}{\texttt{Kashida}}: \\
        which implements kashida feature with three possible values:
        \begin{itemize}
          \item \indextermsubsub{General Options}{\textbf{General Options}}{\texttt{Kashida}}{glyph}: \\
            which uses the \texttt{kashida} character to stretch the text. \\
  
            {\color{magenta}
            Imortant notes for \hologo{XeLaTeX} users: \\
  
            \begin{itemize}
              \item
                If you are going to use this option then you should run \texttt{xelatex} thrice. For example: \\
  
                \texttt{rm -f kashida-example.aux \\
                xelatex kashida-example.tex \\
                xelatex kashida-example.tex \\
                xelatex kashida-example.tex} \\
  
              \item
                This feature is still experimental in \hologo{XeLaTeX} and is not regarded as stable,
                so, if you are going to use this option be ready for unpredictable results.
  
              \item
                With this option, for each gap which is to be filled with kashida,
                some commands, current position on the page, and references are saved in the
                \texttt{\bslash jobname.aux} file and if the text is long, the file size may get
                too large.
            \end{itemize}}
  
          \item \indextermsubsub{General Options}{\textbf{General Options}}{\texttt{Kashida}}{leaders+glyph}: \\
            which uses kashida glyph leaders to stretch the text.
            Please note that the option `Kashida=leaders+glyph' is currently only
            supported by \mbox{\textsf{HM Series}} fonts available at
            \href{https://dma8hm1334.bitbucket.io}{\texttt{https://dma8hm1334.bitbucket.io}}.
            If you know of any other font that supports this option, please
            let me know to add it to the list of corresponding fonts.
  
            Contrary to the option \texttt{Kashida=glyph}, in this case nothing is saved
            in \texttt{.aux} files.
  
          \item \indextermsubsub{General Options}{\textbf{General Options}}{\texttt{Kashida}}{leaders+hrule}: \\
            which uses horizontal rule (\verb|\hrule|) leaders to stretch the text.
  
          \item \texttt{Off}: \\
            which disables kashida feature.
  
          \item \texttt{On}: \\
            which is the same as \texttt{leaders+glyph}.
  
        \end{itemize}
        Also, please note that the value of \texttt{Kashida} is mandatory.
        For example \texttt{Kashida=glyph} inserts a stretched \texttt{kashida} glyph
        and \linebreak[4] \texttt{Kashida=leaders+glyph} inserts \texttt{kashida} leaders  wherever
        it is needed.
  
      \item \indextermsub{General Options}{\textbf{General Options}}{\texttt{linebreakpenalty}}: \\
        which specifies the amount of penalty for preventing bad line-breaking.
        You may strictly specify the value of this option. For example you may either set % \linebreak[4]
        \texttt{'linebreakpenalty=8'} or
        use the default values. The available default values of penalties which are put into the
        horizontal list output are the negative of the followings:
  
        \begin{longtable}{ll}
          \texttt{min}:    &amp; \texttt{0} \\
          \texttt{low}:    &amp; \texttt{8} \\
          \texttt{medium}: &amp; \texttt{15} \\
          \texttt{high}:   &amp; \texttt{25} \\
          \texttt{max}:    &amp; \texttt{10000}
        \end{longtable}
  
      \item \indextermsub{General Options}{\textbf{General Options}}{\texttt{ligatures}}: \\
        which fixes the disturbance of ligatures caused by activating kashida
        justification in \TeXNegar. You may strictly specify the value of this option.
        For example \texttt{'ligatures=dlig'} or you may use the default value.
        The available values are:
  
        \begin{longtable}{ll}
          \texttt{aalt}:    &amp; Access All Alternatives \\
          \texttt{ccmp}:    &amp; Glyph Composition/Decomposition \\
          \texttt{dlig}:    &amp; Discretionary Ligatures \\
          \texttt{fina}:    &amp; Final (Terminal) Forms \\
          \texttt{init}:    &amp; Initial Forms \\
          \texttt{locl}:    &amp; Localized Forms \\
          \texttt{medi}:    &amp; Medial Forms \\
          \texttt{rlig}:    &amp; Required Ligatures \\
          \texttt{default}: &amp; All the above features
        \end{longtable}
        Please note that this feature is still experimental and is not regarded as stable.
  
      \item \indextermsub{General Options}{\textbf{General Options}}{\texttt{color}}: \\
        which colorize the stretched parts of the text for checking the quality of kashida
        justification. Color must be one of a named color declared in \textsf{xcolor} package.
        For example: \texttt{color=blue} or \texttt{color=Blue}.
  
        Default color name is: \texttt{magenta}
  
        Please note that activating this option increases system resource and disk usage.
  
    \end{itemize}
\end{itemize}

\begin{itemize}
  \item \indexterm{LuaLaTeX-only Options}{\textbf{\hologo{LuaLaTeX}-only Options}}: \\
    \begin{itemize}
      \item \indextermsub{LuaLaTeX-only Options}{\textbf{\hologo{LuaLaTeX}-only Options}}{\texttt{Kashidafontfamily}}: \\
        that fixes the issue in \texttt{ArabLuaTeX} if one uses fonts other than \textsf{HM Series} and \textsf{Adobe Arab},
        among those are fonts such as \textsf{Scheherazade}, \textsf{Scheherazade New}, and \textsf{Amiri}.
        The value of this option, as returned by \hologo{LuaTeX}, is the family name of the font without spaces.
        A few examples of these values and the corresponding fonts are:

        \begin{longtable}{ll}
          value                    &amp; corresponding fonts \\
          \hline

                                   &amp; \textsf{\small Adobe Arab Bold}, \dots\unkern. \\
          \texttt{Amiri}           &amp; \textsf{\small Amiri Regular, Amiri Bold}, \\
                                   &amp; \textsf{\small Amiri Slanted}, \dots\unkern. \\
          \texttt{HMXKayhan}       &amp; \textsf{\small HM XKayhan Regular}, \\

          \texttt{ScheherazadeNew} &amp; \textsf{\small Scheherazade New Regular}, \\
                                   &amp; \textsf{\small Scheherazade New Bold}, \dots\unkern. \\
          \texttt{Scheherazade}    &amp; \textsf{\small Scheherazade}, \dots\unkern. \\
        \end{longtable}

      \item \indextermsub{LuaLaTeX-only Options}{\textbf{\hologo{LuaLaTeX}-only Options}}{\texttt{hboxrecursion}}: \\
        which enables kashida justification inside horizontal boxes recursively.

      \item \indextermsub{LuaLaTeX-only Options}{\textbf{\hologo{LuaLaTeX}-only Options}}{\texttt{vboxrecursion}}: \\
        which enables kashida justification inside vertical boxes recursively.

    \end{itemize}
\end{itemize}

\begin{itemize}

    \begin{itemize}
      \item \indextermsub{XeLaTeX-only Options}{\textbf{\hologo{XeLaTeX}-only Options}}{\texttt{kashidastretch}}: \\
        which specifies the amount of extra stretching
        for some combinations of characters. You may strictly specify the value of
        this option. For example \texttt{'kashidastretch=0.14 em plus 0.5 em'} or you
        may use the default values. The available default values are:

\section{Commands}

\begin{itemize}
  \item \indexterm{General Commands}{\textbf{General Commands}}: \\
    \begin{description}
      \item \ccstermsub{General Commands}{\textbf{General Commands}}{KashidaOff}: \\
        disables kashida justification.

      \item \ccstermsub{General Commands}{\textbf{General Commands}}{KashidaOn}: \\
        enables kashida justification. If the option Kashida is activated
        stretching the text is the default behavior.
    \end{description}
  \item \indexterm{XeLaTeX-only Commands}{\textbf{\hologo{XeLaTeX}-only Commands}}: \\
    \begin{description}
      \item \ccstermsub{XeLaTeX-only Commands}{\textbf{\hologo{XeLaTeX}-only Commands}}{discouragebadlinebreaks}{\color{HMhighlightBlueI}\verb|[linebreakpenalty][kashidastretch]{|{\it text}\verb|}|}: \\
        {\it text} may not contain paragraph breaks.
        This command puts a penalty after each Persian word.
        The optional arguments \texttt{linebreakpenalty} and \texttt{kashidastretch} locally
        specify the value of the penalty and the amount of extra stretching for some
        combinations of characters respectively as discussed previously. For example
        you may set this option as follows:

        \texttt{\bslash discouragebadlinebreaks[9][0.12 em plus 0.5 em]\{$\dots\,$\}}
    \end{description}
\end{itemize}

\section{Important notes}

\begin{description}
  \item Kashida and ligatures:

    The method used to implement kashida feature breaks a ligature if it is applied to the letters which are joined to form
    the ligature. This is fixed in \TeXNegar, but it is not well developed yet.
\end{description}

\section{Acknowledgments}
In the first place I have to thank Donald Knuth for inventing TeX.
During the development of this package I refered to  Stack Exchange network of
question-and-answer (Q\&amp;A) websites to solve problems for which I am grateful.
I also would like to thank the developer teams of TeX's friends especially LaTeX, LuaTeX and XeTeX teams.

\section{Change History}

\def\SubSecItem#1{\subsubsection*{\hskip 2em\large #1}\addcontentsline{toc}{subsection}{[#1]}}
\newenvironment{Itemize}{\begin{itemize}[leftmargin=4em]}{\end{itemize}}

\SubSecItem{2020-08-29~v0.1a}
\begin{Itemize}
  \item First standalone version.
\end{Itemize}

\SubSecItem{2020-08-30~v0.1b}
\begin{Itemize}
  \item Changed some file names.
\end{Itemize}

\SubSecItem{2021-01-27~v0.1c}
\begin{Itemize}
  \item Added the option \texttt{Minimal} which is needed if texnegar is used for kashida implementaion only.
  \item Fixed the problem with \texttt{Scheherazade} and \texttt{Amiri} fonts.
\end{Itemize}

\SubSecItem{2021-01-31~v0.1d}
\begin{Itemize}
  \item Added the option \texttt{Kashidafontfamily} that fixes the issue in \texttt{ArabLuaTeX} if one uses
        fonts other than \textsf{HM Series} and \textsf{Adobe Arab}.
\end{Itemize}

\SubSecItem{2021-02-09~v0.1e}
\begin{Itemize}
  \item Fixed the problem of inserting the kashida before the diacritical marks. Now, after stretching,
        the diacritical marks appear before kashida.
\end{Itemize}
