Kurz gesagt

Eine alte arabische Erzählung, gedruckt mit allen kleinen Vokalzeichen über und unter den Buchstaben. Die Zeilen stehen so weit auseinander, dass die Zeichen einer Zeile nicht in die nächste hineinragen.

Was Sie setzen

Vier Seiten eines klassischen arabischen Buchs, in dem jeder Buchstabe seinen Vokal trägt: al-Hamadhānīs Maqāma vom Irrenhaus, in der ein Wahnsinniger im Spital von Basra einen Theologen in die Flucht schlägt und sich dann in Versen selbst nennt. Voll vokalisierter Text stapelt Fatḥa und Schadda über den Buchstaben und Kasra darunter, und die Zeichen wohnen im Raum zwischen den Zeilen. Deshalb steht die Seite in Amiri mit 14 pt auf 28 pt, der doppelten Größe, und sonst nichts: Der Zeilenabstand ist die Gestaltung. Der Text steht im Blocksatz mit Kaschidas, beginnt mit einem Einzug von 1,5 em rechts und setzt seine drei Koranzitate zwischen die verzierten Klammern ﴿ ﴾ des gedruckten Muṣḥaf. Nur die lateinische Titelzeile und die Anmerkung zum Text ändern sich mit der Ausgabe.

Dieses Rezept beantwortet

  • Wie viel Zeilenabstand braucht vollständig vokalisiertes Arabisch?

Die kurze Antwort

// Every letter of this maqāma carries its vowel: fatḥa and shadda over the letters, kasra
// and kasratān under them, often two marks on one letter. The marks sit in the leading,
// which never grows for them, so the leading is chosen for the most vocalised line of the
// book. Unvocalised prose sets well at 1.6 × the size; fully vocalised text needs
// 1.9–2.1 ×: here 14 pt on 28 pt, 2 ×, so a kasra hanging under one line clears a shadda
// standing on the line below. Any closer and the build reports the paragraph
// (arabicMarksExceedLeading) with the leading it would need.

Zubereitung

#1 · Ein Zeilenabstand der doppelten Größe

Der Code steht in der kurzen Antwort oben. Der Zeilenabstand wächst nie, um Platz für die Zeichen zu schaffen: Eine Kasra unter der einen Zeile und eine Schadda auf der nächsten teilen sich denselben Zwischenraum, also wird er nach der am stärksten vokalisierten Zeile des Buchs gewählt (Vokalzeichen). Bei diesem Text lässt ein Zeilenabstand vom 1,6-Fachen der Größe sechs Absätze übrig, deren Zeichen kollidieren, beim 1,9-Fachen bleibt noch einer; beim Doppelten keiner. Der Build sagt es Ihnen: Wenn zwei Zeilen kollidieren, meldet er arabicMarksExceedLeading für den Absatz, mit dem Zeilenabstand, den er bräuchte (Arabischer Text).

Seite 2: ein Vokal auf jedem Buchstaben und 28 pt zwischen den Grundlinien, sodass die Kasras einer Zeile die Schaddas der nächsten nicht berühren.

#2 · Eine kleine Seite mit breiter Satzbreite

script.js · Zeilen 49–56im vollständigen Code
// 166 mm of text block hold seventeen lines on the 28 pt pitch (9.88 mm). The measure is
// 106 mm, about twelve words of vocalised Naskh.
const page = {
  sizePreset: 'custom', width: mm(140), height: mm(210), dpi: 150,
  backgroundColor: col('paper'),
  // mirror: left is the inner margin, at the spine (the right edge of an odd page here)
  margins: { top: mm(22), bottom: mm(22), left: mm(18), right: mm(16), mirror: true },
};

Eine Seite von 14 × 21 cm mit seitlichen Rändern von 16 und 18 mm lässt eine Satzbreite von 106 mm, etwa zwölf vokalisierte Wörter, und siebzehn Zeilen im Raster von 28 pt. Die Zeichen lassen die Zeilen grau wirken, also bleibt die Seite schlicht: keine Kolumnentitel, cremefarbenes Papier, ein roter Titel. mirror: true legt den breiteren Rand an den Bund, der in einem rechts gebundenen Buch die rechte Kante einer ungeraden Seite ist (Seitenfolge und Bindung rechts).

#3 · Titel, die das Raster halten

script.js · Zeilen 60–75im vollständigen Code
// The headings carry no design: the title's line box, three lines of the grid deep, lowers
// it on the page (a top margin is dropped at the head of a page), and the levels under it
// keep to the 28 pt pitch, so the text starts on a line of the grid.
const headings = {
  fontFamily: NASKH, color: col('ink'), textAlign: 'center',
  levels: [
    // The maqāma opens on a recto.
    { level: 1, fontFamily: RUQAA, fontWeight: 700, fontSize: pt(32), lineHeight: pt(LEAD * 3),
      color: col('rubric'), marginTop: pt(0), marginBottom: pt(0),
      breakBefore: { enabled: true, parity: 'odd' } },
    { level: 2, fontWeight: 700, fontSize: pt(15), lineHeight: pt(LEAD), color: col('ink'),
      marginTop: pt(0), marginBottom: pt(0) },
    { level: 3, fontWeight: 400, fontSize: pt(10), lineHeight: pt(LEAD), color: col('muted'),
      marginTop: pt(0), marginBottom: pt(LEAD) },
  ],
};

Die Überschriften haben keine Gestaltung: Der Ruqʿa-Titel sitzt in einem Zeilenkasten, der drei Rasterzeilen tief ist, und Autor und lateinische Zeile nehmen je eine Zeile von 28 pt ein, sodass die erste Textzeile auf das Raster fällt. Die lateinische Zeile ist {dir=ltr}, eine Überschrift von links nach rechts in einem Buch, das von rechts nach links läuft (Richtung von Dokument, Block und Zeile).

Häufige Fehler

Häufiger Fehler

Zeichnen Sie ein arabisches Buch mit 'ar' aus, nicht mit LANG

Die Ausgaben eines Rezepts sind en und es, ein arabisches Beispiel ist aber in beiden Arabisch: `locale: LANG` würde es von links nach rechts setzen, links binden, seine Seiten 1 2 3 nummerieren und seine Abbildungen mit Figure oder Figura beschriften. Seit postext 1.30 ist die Auszeichnung auch die Sprache, in der der Text geformt wird (gemessen, gezeichnet und eingebettet). Unter einer englischen oder spanischen Auszeichnung zeichnet eine Schrift wie Markazi Text daher die arabischen Formen ihrer Guillemets und Satzzeichen nicht, und die Zeilen brechen an anderer Stelle um. Schreiben Sie die Auszeichnung selbst: 'ar' (arabisch-indische Ziffern, die Maschrek-Konvention), eine Region wie 'ar-EG' oder 'ar-SA', oder 'ar-MA', 'ar-DZ' bzw. 'ar-TN' für eine Maghreb-Ausgabe mit europäischen Ziffern. Eine lateinische Seite, die Arabisch nur zitiert, behält ihr eigenes Gebietsschema. Text von rechts nach links →

Häufiger Fehler

Arabische Schnitte brauchen ihre arabic-Datei, über den Block arabic

Fontsource liefert Amiri, Noto Naskh Arabic oder Scheherazade New als eine Datei pro Teilmenge aus, und die arabischen Buchstaben stehen in der Datei arabic. loadFonts holt nur latin (und latin-ext), am Bildschirm stammt das Arabische also aus einer Systemschrift und wird falsch gemessen, und fontsourceProvider gibt dem PDF diese latin-Datei, die leere Kästchen druckt. Führen Sie den Kit-Block arabic auf, rufen Sie loadArabicFonts(FONTS, markdown) nach loadFonts auf, mit jeder Schriftstärke, die die Seiten auf Arabisch setzen, in FONTS aufgeführt, und geben Sie renderToPdf fontProvider: arabicPdfProvider.

Layoutwarnung · arabicMarksExceedLeading

Vokalzeichen bedrängen die nächste Zeile

Ursache. Ein Absatz in vokalisiertem Arabisch setzt seine Vokalzeichen (Fatḥa, Kasra, Schadda, Tanwīn …) in den Durchschuss, der für sie nie wächst: Wo ein Zeichen über einem Wort einer Zeile die Buchstaben oder Zeichen erreicht, die unter dem Wort darüber hängen, berühren sich die beiden Zeilen.

Lösung. Erhöhen Sie `bodyText.lineHeight` (1,7–1,85 em für teilweise vokalisierten Text, 1,9–2,1 em für vollständig vokalisierte Verse), geben Sie dem Absatz ein Absatzformat mit größerem Zeilenabstand oder setzen Sie `bodyText.tashkil: 'strip-vowels'` für eine Ausgabe ohne Vokale. Doku →
