\section{Introduction}

\begin{frame}[fragile]
\frametitle{Introduction}
Creating beamer presentation for languages with script from right to left   (like arabic) using \hologo{pdfLaTeX} or \hologo{XeLaTeX} still poses many problems due to bugs not currently resolved especially for colors.

The \hologo{LuaTeX} team set solutions for  these issues thanks to them and to \textit{Javier~Bezos} for  his works on the package \verb|babel| and \verb|bidi| writing    

This class provides patchs of some beamer templates and commands to create  
 right to left beamer presentation, the class call babel with \verb|bidi=basic| option and require \hologo{LuaLaTeX} engine

\end{frame}

\section{How to use beamer-rl}

\begin{frame}[fragile,allowframebreaks]
\frametitle{How to use beamer-rl}

\begin{codeblock}
\documentclass{beamer-rl}

% import language
\babelprovide[import=ar-DZ, main]{arabic} 

\usetheme{Madrid}

\begin{document}
...
\end{document}
\end{codeblock}

We get a similar result by adding the main language of the presentation (language with right-to-left script)
  as option of class as follows:

\begin{codeblock}
\documentclass[arabic]{beamer-rl}

\usetheme{CambridgeUS}

\begin{document}
...
\end{document}
\end{codeblock}

We can also add more language options that the command \verb|\babelprovide|  provides as follows:

\begin{codeblock}
\documentclass[arabic={mapdigits}]{beamer-rl}

% equivalent to
% \babelprovide[import,main,mapdigits]{arabic}

\end{codeblock}

The class  define in the same way as  options (languages supported by the package \verb|babel| with script from right to left) 

\begin{multicols}{3}
\verb|arabic|\\
\verb|arabic-dz|\\
\verb|arabic-tn|\\
\verb|arabic-ma|\\
\verb|arabic-eg|\\
\verb|arabic-sa|\\
\verb|arabic-iq|\\
\verb|arabic-sy|\\
\verb|arabic-lb|\\
\verb|arabic-ps|\\
\verb|arabic-jo|\\
\verb|centralkurdish|\\
\verb|hebrew|\\
\verb|kashmiri|\\
\verb|mazanderani|\\
\verb|malayalam|\\
\verb|northernkurdish-arab|\\
\verb|pashto|\\
\verb|persian|\\
\verb|punjabi-arab|\\
\verb|syriac|\\
\verb|urdu|\\
\verb|uyghur|\\
\verb|uzbek-arab|\\
\verb|yiddish|\\
\end{multicols}

\section{Some notes}

\begin{frame}[fragile,allowframebreaks]
\frametitle{Some notes}

\begin{itemize}

\item
The class define \verb:Amiri: as default sans serif font, we can 
modify this in the preambule  with   

\begin{codeblock}
\babelfont{sf}{<font name>}
\end{codeblock}

\item
The class defines  option \verb|layout| which passes its content to \verb|babel| 

\medskip 
 
\begin{codeblock}
\documentclass[layout={<babel layout>}]{beamer-rl}
\end{codeblock}

More on the subject can be found in the manual of  \verb|babel| package 
\href{http://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/required/babel/base/babel.pdf}{\beamergotobutton{link}}

\item
The \verb:beamer-rl: class swap the definition of \verb:\blacktriangleright: with  \verb:\blacktriangleleft: in RTL context

\bigskip

{\renewcommand{\arraystretch}{1.3}
\centering
\begin{tabular}{ccc}
\hline
 &  \verb:\blacktriangleright: & \verb:\blacktriangleleft:   \\
\hline 
LTR context & \blacktriangleright & \blacktriangleleft \\
\hline
RTL context & \selectlanguage{nil}\blacktriangleright & \selectlanguage{nil}\blacktriangleleft \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
\par
}

\bigskip

\item
In some cases you  need to use \verb:\babelsublr: command from \verb:bebel: 
package to insert a left to right text within your right to left text, e.g if you need to insert a \verb:pspicture: drawing in RTL context 

\begin{codeblock}
\bebelsublr{LTR context ... }
\end{codeblock}

\end{itemize}

\end{frame}

\section{pgfpages-rl package}

\begin{frame}[fragile]
\frametitle{pgfpages-rl package}

\verb:pgfpages-rl: adds to \verb:pgfpages: the ability to support TRT pagedir, the package requires \hologo{LuaLaTeX} engine. 
It can also be used with other document classes besides \verb:beamer-rl: 

\begin{codeblock}
\documentclass{beamer-rl}
\babelprovide[import=ar-DZ, main]{arabic}
\usetheme{Warsaw}
\usepackage{pgfpages-rl} % adapt pgfpages to TRT pagedir
\setbeamertemplate{note page}[]
\setbeameroption{show notes on second screen=right}
\begin{document}
...
\end{document}

\end{codeblock}

\begin{theorem}
There is no largest prime number.
\end{theorem}
\begin{proof}
\begin{enumerate}[<+-| alert@+>]
\item Suppose $p$ were the largest prime number.
\item Let $q$ be the product of the first $p$ numbers.
\item Then $q+1$ is not divisible by any of them.
\item But $q + 1$ is greater than $1$, thus divisible by some prime
number not in the first $p$ numbers.\qedhere
