+ (description
+ "The package provides an Arabic and Farsi script support for TeX without
+the need of any external pre-processor, and in a way that is compatible with
+Babel. The bi-directional capability supposes that the user has a TeX engine
+that knows the four primitives @code{\\beginR}, @code{\\endR}, @code{\\beginL}
+and @code{\\endL}. That is the case in both the TeX--XeT and e-TeX engines.
+
+Arabi will accept input in several 8-bit encodings, including UTF-8. Arabi
+can make use of a wide variety of Arabic and Farsi fonts, and provides one of
+its own. PDF files generated using Arabi may be searched, and text may be
+copied from them and pasted elsewhere.")
