This didn't trigger the previewer tool and I don't seem to have write access to this repo. @xfq can you check it? |

Sourced from https://r12a.github.io/scripts/arabic/arb.html#ijam_tashkil per TPAC discussion.

Should be fixed now. You can push a commit to trigger the previewer tool, @aphillips. |
Our commonly used styles (like `uname`) were not present and we commented out the local.css file and didn't copy it in. I took the embedded styles and moved them to a copy of the specdev local.css file. This does have presentational side effects. @r12a you should have a look at this. I could also just start building up a minimal `local.css` with just the local styles needed. Thoughts?

The glossary keeps definitions short on purpose, and limits the descriptions to one paragraph. For this kind of additional information (some of which actually begins to wander off track) we should point out to somewhere else (probably your original source for this text, which is https://r12a.github.io/scripts/arabic/arb.html#ijam_tashkil).

The definition really must have a link to the tashkil entry, and vice versa.

The example of hah+hamza needs clarification to indicate that it represents a consonant in Pashto. I will add that to the orthography description too.

| <p>This distinction between using a character with <a>ijam</a> instead of combining a letter with a <a>tashkil</a> becomes important when choosing which Unicode characters to use because (as can be seen in the examples above) the visual forms can be identical. Using the wrong character can change the meaning of the text, affecting the results of text search, font rendering, text to speech, etc.</p> |

I would like us to remove this paragraph and the following one.
Same applies to the tashkil section.

I intentionally commented out the local.css file. We need to check what differences are made by including it. If ok to include, we should reference the same file as other pages, so that we don't need to update in various locations. If it needs tailoring, we should probably consider our options.

| <p>There are, however, some very common combinations of diacritic and base that can be represented using precomposed characters or decomposed sequences that are canonically equivalent. For those the standard encourages the use of the precomposed form, but the fact that the forms are canonically equivalent removes concerns about changes in meaning.</p> | ||

| <p><dfn id="def_tashkil" class="lint-ignore export">Tashkil</dfn>. A tashkil (تَشْكِيل) is an Arabic script mark that indicates vocalization of text, as well as other types of phonetic guides to correct pronunciation. حٔ [<span class="uname" translate="no">U+062D ARABIC LETTER HAH + U+0654 ARABIC HAMZA ABOVE</span>] is an example of a letter plus tashkil combination. Tashkil are separately encoded as combining marks. These include several subtypes: <em>harakat</em> (short vowel marks), <em>tanwin</em> (postnasalized or long vowel marks), <em>shaddah</em> (consonant gemination mark), and <em>sukun</em> (to mark lack of a following vowel). A basic Arabic letter plus any of these types of marks is never encoded as a separate, precomposed character, but must always be represented as a sequence of letter plus combining mark. Additional marks invented to indicate non-Arabic vowels, used in extensions of the Arabic script for languages other than Arabic, are also encoded as separate combining marks. See also: <a>ijam</a>. For more information see <a href="https://r12a.github.io/scripts/arabic/arb.html#ijam_tashkil">this article</a>.</p> |

the arabic text needs markup and a lang tag
we should probably also add the arabic spelling for ijam if we have it here
Added correct codepoint markup. Fixed internal termref styling. Adjusted wording of the external link. Converted Arabic term to NCRs. @r12a Note that I tagged the tashkil example with language tag `ps` instead of `ar`. Is that appropriate?

Merging this per our discussion in 2022-09-15 teleconference. @r12a will make additional edits and also address the stylesheet issues. Note that this means that the ED is using the gigantor |
