I read the documentation but I can't find a way to print that kind of result :
When I write:
\documentclass[twoside,12pt]{book}
\usepackage{arabtex}
\begin{document}
\setarab
\vocalize
\arabtrue
\RL{uN}
\RL{aN}
\RL{iN}
\end{document}
it gives an alif with the tanwin. I would like at least to erase the alif. Having the same thing as the picture above would be the best.
Thank you :)
The tanwin damma is character 024 (see arabsymb.sty in the installation directory of ArabTeX). You can print that as a single character after switching to the Arabic font, see arabtex.sty for some examples.
MWE:
\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{arabtex}
\begin{document}
\setarab
\vocalize
\arabtrue
\RL{uN}
\makeatletter \bgroup \set@arabfont \char'024 \egroup \makeatother
\end{document}
Result:
Combined with the stackengine package to recreate the example, using a circle from wasysym:
\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{arabtex}
\usepackage{stackengine}
\usepackage{wasysym}
\begin{document}
\setarab
\vocalize
\arabtrue
\makeatletter \bgroup \set@arabfont
\stackunder{\Circle}{\char'023}
\stackon{\Circle}{\char'024}
\stackon{\Circle}{\char'023}\par
% or a bit closer
\stackunder[1pt]{\Circle}{\char'023}
\stackon[1pt]{\Circle}{\char'024}
\stackon[1pt]{\Circle}{\char'023}
\egroup \makeatother
\RL{uN}. Because \RL{aN} and \RL{iN} are using the same \char' . The placement of the symbol is how we differentiate both. So I need to remove the alif but still keep the white space.
aN and iN are the same the difference is just the position on or below the letter, you can move up to obtain an aN or down to obtain an iN like this \raisebox{2ex}{\char'023} and \raisebox{-.5ex}{\char'023}.

stackengine.
xelatexorlualatex?arabtexis somewhat old.
