[Corpora-List] Typing Urdu text in LaTeX

[Alberto Simões]

Hello

I am a complete ignorant about Urdu, but if you are able to type Urdu 
characters directly in UTF8, you can use XeLaTeX to typeset it.

If this is a possibility, let me know and I'll help with the XeLaTeX 
document structure.

All the best,
Alberto
