The Encode library provides a unified interface for converting strings from different encodings into a common representation, and vice versa. It defines the Encoding type class, whose methods include encode and decode.

The Encode/Main.hs and Decode/Main.hs programs mimick the fuction calls to encode and decode, respectively, with the following command-line synopsis:

  $ decode ArabTeX < decode.d | encode Buckwalter > encode.d

  $ decode MacArabic < data.MacArabic > data.UTF8

  $ encode WinArabic < data.UTF8 > data.WinArabic

The installation instructions are given in INSTALL. For the list of supported encoding schemes, please refer to Encode and the source files of the programs. The naming of encodings is case-insensitive and some options are allowed:

  decode.exe [OPTIONS] encoding
    -h       --help         show usage information
    -l       --lines        use line-oriented mode
    -p text  --prefix=text  prefix input with text
    -s text  --suffix=text  suffix input with text
    -v       --version      show program's version
