+# Perso-Arabic Input Methods And Making More Emacs Apps BIDI Aware
+Mohsen BANAN
+
+
+# Table of Contents
+
+
+
+Starting with Emacs 24, full native bidi
+(bidirectional) support became available. For
+many years prior to that Unicode support was
+available and by around year 2000, reasonable
+open-source shaping libraries were also available.
+
+With these in place at around 2012, I developed
+two Persian input methods for emacs. These input
+methods or variations of them can also be used
+Arabic and other persoarabic scripts.
+
+With all of these in place, Emacs has now become
+the ne plus ultra Halaal/Convivial usage
+environment for persoarabic users.
+
+Since emacs comes loaded with everything (Gnus
+for email, Bbdb for address books, XeLaTeX modes
+for typesetting, org-mode for organization, spell
+checkers, completions, calendar, etc.), all basic
+computing and communication needs of persoarabic
+users can be addressed in one place and
+cohesively.
+
+In this talk I will demonstrate what a wonderful
+environment that can be.
+
+- 40 minutes: (brief description/outline)
+
+ My talk will be in two parts.
+
+ In Part 1, I cover persian input methods. With an
+ emphasis on &lsquo ;Banan Multi-Character (Reverse)
+ Transliteration Persian Input Method&rsquo;. The
+ software is part of base emacs distribution.
+ Full documentation is available at:
+ Persian Input Methods
+ For Emacs And More Broadly Speaking
+ شیوه‌هایِ درج به فارسی‌
+ <http://mohsen.1.banan.byname.net/PLPC/120036>
+
+ In Part 2, I will cover the ramifications of bidi
+ on existing emacs applications, including:
+
+ - Gnus:
+ - Persoarabic rich email sending in HTML.
+ - Ramifications of bidi on from, to and
+ subject lines.
+
+ - Bbdb: Ramifications of bidi on display and
+ completion.
+
+ - Calendar:
+ - Ramifications of bidi on display.
+ - Use of persian text for Persian (solar) calendar.
+ - Use of arabic text for Muslem (lunar) calendar.
+
+ - AUCTeX: Persian typesetting with XeLaTeX

+
+
+
+Bindat is an ELisp library to help manipulate binary data. This is a
+niche library that is used by packages such as Websocket, EMMS, and
+cpio-mode. Its implementation was repeatedly caught harassing hapless
+kitten while at the same time providing poor service slowly. For
+Emacs-28, Bindat was rewritten so as to make it more efficient and
+flexible while respecting the kitten. In this presentation I intent to
+show how we saved those. Not recommended for birds.
+
+- ~20 minutes:
+ 5 min: Intro and presentation of Bindat
+ 5 min: Showcase some of its problems
+ 5 min: Present the new design
+ 5 min: Examples of what can be done with it
