    Summary description: One-line Arabic RTL setup for XeLaTeX

    Announcement text: ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A new package collection, arabdoc, provides a one-line Arabic
    right-to-left setup for XeLaTeX, replacing 15rCo25 lines of fragile
    preamble with a single \usepackage call.
    The collection consists of four packages: arabdoc-setup (core RTL
    stack), arabdoc document classes (arabdoc-article, arabdoc-book,
    arabdoc-report, arabdoc-thesis), arabdoc-glossary (bilingual glossary
    and acronym management), and arabdoc-bib (Arabic bibliography with
    biblatex).
    Options include font selection, numeral style, calendar,
    caption overrides, and legal-style section numbering.
    Requires XeLaTeX with bidi, polyglossia, and fontspec.
