En bref
Cinq pages d’une revue savante arabe : l’article, ses notes de bas de page, sa liste de références et un index. L’index range الكشيدة sous ك, comme le font les index arabes, et non sous l’article ال.
Ce que vous allez composer
Cinq pages tirées d’un numéro d’une revue arabe imaginaire, en 17 × 24 cm, à partir de la page 87 : un article qui se demande si la justification par kashida ralentit la lecture, composé en Amiri de 12 pt avec des titres de section en Noto Kufi Arabic. Ses notes se placent au pied de chaque page et sont numérotées « (١) », « (٢) » à partir de un sur chaque page, comme les numérotent les revues arabes ; les citations, écrites [@ayalon2016] dans le Markdown, sont elles aussi des notes, mises en forme par le style de notes Chicago avec la locale CSL arabe. Une liste de références suit, les travaux arabes d’abord, et un index sur deux colonnes clôt l’ensemble. L’index range الكشيدة sous ك et الصحف اليومية sous ص : l’article ال ne compte pas. L’essai d’histoire avec notes Chicago fait la même chose en anglais.
Cette recette répond à
- Comment trier un index arabe sans l’article ال ?
- Comment citer des sources dans un article en arabe, avec notes de bas de page et bibliographie ?
La réponse courte
// Citations are written [@ayalon2016, 45] in the text; a note style puts each one in a
// footnote, numbered with the author's own [^notes]. The CSL locale is Arabic: ص for a page.
registerCitationEngine(createCiteprocEngine({ styles: STYLES, locales: LOCALES }));
const citations = {
style: 'chicago-notes-bibliography', notes: 'footnote', locale: 'ar',
bibliography: { fontSize: em(0.9), lineHeight: pt(17), hangingIndent: em(2),
entrySpacing: pt(2) },
};
const footnotes = {
markerTemplate: '({n})', // «(١)», in the document's digits
numbering: 'page', // from (١) again on every page, as Arabic journals number them
noteNumberPosition: 'inline', // the note opens with (١) on the line, not raised
fontSize: pt(10), lineHeight: pt(18), spaceBetween: pt(2), // 1.8 ×: tanwīn clears the line
textAlign: 'start', // ragged from the right: a Latin title would open wide gaps
separator: { width: 0.3, lineWidth: pt(0.5), color: col('red') }, // on the start side
};
// The index sorts by the word after the article: الكشيدة files under ك, not under ا.
// ignoreArticle is already true for an Arabic index; it is written out to be seen.
const index = {
ignoreArticle: true,
fontFamily: TEXT, fontSize: pt(10.5), lineHeight: pt(16), indent: em(1.2),
main: { bold: true }, // the page that defines the term
groups: { fontFamily: LABEL, fontSize: pt(10), fontWeight: 700, color: col('red') },
};

Préparation
#1 · Notes, citations et index au même endroit
Le code est dans la réponse courte plus haut. Les réglages des notes de bas de page sont les trois que demandent les livres arabes : markerTemplate: '({n})' pour les parenthèses, numbering: 'page' pour recommencer à chaque page, et noteNumberPosition: 'inline' pour que la note s’ouvre sur « (١) » dans sa ligne ; les chiffres sont ceux du document, et le filet se place à droite (notes de bas de page). Les citations partagent la numérotation des notes. citations.locale: 'ar' donne les termes CSL en arabe, comme عدد pour un numéro de fascicule. index.ignoreArticle trie chaque entrée sur le mot qui suit ال et réunit les formes de la hamza : أميري et الأعمدة vont toutes deux sous ا (table des matières et index) ; ce réglage est actif par défaut pour un index arabe et il est écrit ici pour qu’on le voie.

#2 · Un en-tête de revue sans bandeau
const centred = (y, extra = {}) => ({ anchor: { to: 'container', edge: 'top' },
offset: { y: mm(y) }, size: { width: 'fill' }, ...extra });
const line = (id, content, family, size, colour, y, extra = {}) => ({ kind: 'text', id,
content, fontFamily: family, fontSize: pt(size), color: col(colour), align: 'center',
overflow: 'wrap', placement: centred(y), ...extra });
const masthead = { enabled: true, minHeight: mm(70), slot: { elements: [
line('journal', JOURNAL, LABEL, 9, 'red', 0, { fontWeight: 700 }),
line('issue', '{attr.issue}', LABEL, 8, 'muted', 6),
{ kind: 'rule', id: 'rule', thickness: pt(0.5), color: col('rule'),
placement: centred(13) },
line('title', '{titleText}', TEXT, 22, 'ink', 18, { fontWeight: 700, lineHeight: 1.45 }),
line('author', '{attr.author}', TEXT, 13, 'ink', 45),
line('affiliation', '{attr.affiliation}', TEXT, 10, 'muted', 52),
] } };
Le titre de l’article est le titre de niveau 1, dessiné par une maquette : le nom de la revue et le numéro, un filet fin, le titre sur deux lignes centrées et l’autrice. La ligne du numéro est saisie en chiffres arabes orientaux, car l’attribut d’une maquette est le texte de l’auteur et le moteur ne le réécrit pas. La numérotation des pages commence à 87 (page.pageNumbering.startAt) : les folios montrent la place de l’article dans le numéro.
#3 · Des titres courants à partir du coin extérieur
const head = (id, content, parity, edge, x) => ({ kind: 'text', id, content, parity,
pages: 'body', fontFamily: LABEL, fontSize: pt(7.5), color: col('muted'), align: edge,
placement: { anchor: { to: 'page', edge: `top-${edge}` }, offset: { x: mm(x), y: mm(13) } } });
const folio = (id, parity, edge, x) => ({ ...head(id, '{pageNumber}', parity, edge, x),
fontWeight: 700, color: col('red') });
const header = { elements: [
folio('r-folio', 'even', 'right', -SIDE.outer),
head('r-head', JOURNAL, 'even', 'right', -(SIDE.outer + 9)),
head('l-head', 'سلمى الخطيب: أثر الكشيدة في سرعة القراءة', 'odd', 'left', SIDE.outer + 9),
folio('l-folio', 'odd', 'left', SIDE.outer),
] };
Les pages de droite portent le nom de la revue et celles de gauche l’autrice et un titre abrégé, chacune avec son folio dans le coin extérieur. Les éléments d’en-tête gardent leurs côtés physiques : la page paire, qui est à droite dans cette reliure, s’ancre donc à top-right.

title: "أثر الكشيدة في سرعة قراءة النص العربي المطبوع" --- # أثر الكشيدة في سرعة قراءة النص العربي المطبوع: تجربة على قرّاء جامعيين {issue="المجلد ١٤ · العدد ٣ · خريف ٢٠٢٦" author="سلمى الخطيب" affiliation="قسم علوم المعلومات والنشر، جامعة المثال"} :::callout{type="abstract" title="ملخص"} تبحث هذه الدراسة في أثر ضبط السطور بالكشيدة في سرعة قراءة النص العربي المطبوع وفي فهمه. قرأ ستون طالبًا جامعيًا نصوصًا مضبوطة بثلاث طرق: بالمسافات وحدها، وبالكشيدة وحدها، وبمزيج منهما. ولم تختلف سرعة القراءة اختلافًا ذا دلالة بين الطرق الثلاث، غير أن القرّاء فضّلوا الطريقة المختلطة، وكانت أخطاء الفهم في الكشيدة الكثيفة أعلى قليلًا. ::: ## المقدمة يملأ :index[الطابع]{term="الطباعة العربية"} العربي السطر حتى نهايته بإحدى وسيلتين: أن يوسّع المسافات بين الكلمات، أو أن يمدّ بعض الحروف المتصلة بما يسمّى :index[الكشيدة]{main}:index{term="الكشيدة" seealso="المسافات بين الكلمات"} أو :index[التطويل]{see="الكشيدة"}. والوسيلة الثانية قديمة قِدم الخط نفسه، عرفها :index[النسّاخ] قبل المطبعة، ثم نقلها صانعو :index[الحروف المعدنية] إلى صناديقهم في صورة قطع خاصة تُدسّ بين أجزاء الكلمة.[@nemeth2017] وحين انتقلت الطباعة العربية إلى الحاسوب، صار المدّ عملية آلية يقوم بها البرنامج، وصار السؤال عن مقداره ومواضعه سؤالًا تقنيًا قبل أن يكون جماليًا.[^raqim] [^raqim]: تُبنى قواعد المواضع الجائزة للمدّ في البرامج الحديثة على ما وصفه الخطاطون في خط :index[النسخ]، ولا سيما المنع بعد الكاف واللام، وقبل الحروف المستديرة في آخر الكلمة. ولا يكاد يُختلف في أن الكشيدة جزء من :index[جماليات الصفحة العربية]، لكن أثرها في القراءة لم يُدرس إلا قليلًا. فالدراسات القليلة المتاحة اعتمدت على تقدير القرّاء للنص، لا على قياس قراءتهم له،[@hashimi2019, ٧٧; @attar2021] والمعايير الدولية تكتفي بوصف المواضع التي يجوز فيها المدّ دون أن تحدد مقداره.[@alreq] ويحاول هذا البحث أن يقيس الأثر قياسًا مباشرًا. ## الكشيدة في الطباعة العربية حين أُنشئت :index[مطبعة بولاق]{term="بولاق، مطبعة"} في عشرينيات القرن التاسع عشر، سُبكت حروفها على نماذج من الخط الذي يكتبه النسّاخ، وصار الكتاب المطبوع بعد ذلك بعقود سلعة يقرؤها جمهور واسع.[@ayalon2016] وكان صفّاف الحروف يضبط السطر بقطع من المدّ يدسّها بين أجزاء الكلمة، إلى أن ظهرت آلات :index[الصف الآلي] في القرن العشرين فقلّصت عدد أشكال الحروف تقليصًا كبيرًا.[@nemeth2017] وقد عادت الكشيدة في :index[الصحف اليومية] بعد انتشار :index[الصف الرقمي]، لأنها تسمح بضبط :index[الأعمدة الضيقة] دون أن تتسع المسافات اتساعًا ظاهرًا. غير أن بعض المصممين يرون أن الإكثار منها يجعل الصفحة مضطربة، وأن العين تتعثر بالكلمات الممدودة كما تتعثر بالفجوات الواسعة.[@attar2021, ٥٢] ## منهج التجربة شارك في التجربة ستون طالبًا وطالبة من :index[جامعة المثال]، تتراوح أعمارهم بين ١٩ و٢٦ سنة، وكلهم يقرأ العربية لغةً أولى. وقرأ كل منهم تسعة نصوص قصيرة من المقالات الصحفية، طول كل منها نحو ٣٠٠ كلمة، على صفحات مطبوعة بخط :index[أميري]{term="أميري، خط"} بحجم ١٣ نقطة.[^font] [^font]: اختير خط أميري لأنه يرسم الكشيدة منحنية، كما في الطباعة البولاقية، فيكون الفرق بين الطرق الثلاث أوضح مما هو في الخطوط التي ترسمها خطًا مستقيمًا. وضُبطت النصوص بثلاث طرق: بالمسافات وحدها، وبالكشيدة وحدها مع مسافات ثابتة، وبمزيج يوسّع :index[المسافات بين الكلمات] بمقدار الربع أولًا ثم يمدّ الحروف. وقيس زمن القراءة بالثواني، ثم أجاب القارئ عن خمسة أسئلة في الفهم، وأخيرًا رتّب الطرق الثلاث بحسب تفضيله.:index{term="تفضيل القرّاء"} ## النتائج والمناقشة لم تختلف :index[سرعة القراءة] اختلافًا ذا دلالة بين الطرق الثلاث: كان المتوسط ٢١٤ كلمة في الدقيقة للمسافات، و٢٠٩ للكشيدة، و٢١٧ للطريقة المختلطة. أما :index[أخطاء الفهم]{term="الفهم، أخطاء"} فكانت أعلى قليلًا في الكشيدة وحدها، ولا سيما في السطور التي مُدّت فيها ثلاث كلمات أو أكثر. وفضّل ٣٨ مشاركًا الطريقة المختلطة، و١٤ المسافات وحدها، و٨ الكشيدة وحدها. وهذا يتفق مع ما يذهب إليه الطابعون من أن الكشيدة تحسن قليلًا ولا تحسن كثيرًا،[@hashimi2019, ٨١] ومع ما تقترحه الإرشادات الحديثة من توزيع الفراغ على المسافات والمدّ معًا.[@alreq] ولهذه النتائج حدود واضحة: فالنصوص قصيرة، والقرّاء من فئة عمرية واحدة، والخط واحد. ويحتاج الأمر إلى تجارب على :index[خطوط أخرى]{term="الخطوط الطباعية"}، وعلى :index[القراءة على الشاشة]، حيث يتغير عرض السطر بتغير الجهاز. ## المراجع {style="unnumbered"} :::bibliography{title=""} :::paragraphs{style="colophon" dir=ltr} A specimen article written in Arabic for the Postext Cookbook.

Balisez un livre arabe 'ar', pas avec LANG
Les éditions d’une recette sont en et es, mais un exemple arabe est en arabe dans les deux : `locale: LANG` le composerait de gauche à droite, le relierait à gauche, numéroterait ses pages 1 2 3 et légenderait ses figures Figure ou Figura. Depuis postext 1.30, la balise est aussi la langue dans laquelle le texte est mis en forme (mesuré, peint et incorporé) : sous une balise anglaise ou espagnole, une police comme Markazi Text ne dessine pas les formes arabes de ses guillemets et de ses points, et les lignes se coupent ailleurs. Écrivez la balise vous-même : 'ar' (chiffres arabes orientaux, convention du Machrek), une région comme 'ar-EG' ou 'ar-SA', ou 'ar-MA', 'ar-DZ' ou 'ar-TN' pour une édition maghrébine avec chiffres européens. Une page latine qui ne fait que citer de l’arabe garde sa propre langue. Texte de droite à gauche →

Les polices arabes ont besoin de leur fichier arabic, avec le bloc arabic
Fontsource sert Amiri, Noto Naskh Arabic ou Scheherazade New sous la forme d’un fichier par sous-ensemble, et les lettres arabes se trouvent dans le fichier arabic. loadFonts ne récupère que latin (et latin-ext) : à l’écran, l’arabe vient d’une police système et est mal mesuré, et fontsourceProvider remet ce fichier latin au PDF, qui imprime des cases vides. Listez le bloc arabic du kit, appelez loadArabicFonts(FONTS, markdown) après loadFonts, avec dans FONTS chaque graisse que les pages composent en arabe, et donnez à renderToPdf fontProvider: arabicPdfProvider.

Un style de titre hérite du saut de page de son niveau
Une entrée headingStyles reprend de son niveau de titre chaque champ qu’elle omet, breakBefore compris. Une page de table des matières ou un colophon mis en forme sur un H1 après un :::pagebreak hérite de la parité 'odd' et atterrit derrière une page blanche. Donnez à un tel style breakBefore: { enabled: false }. Styles de titre →
- La ponctuation qu’écrit un style CSL est celle du style : virgules, points-virgules et guillemets entre les parties d’une note sont latins, comme dans الهاشمي, الحرف العربي. Les dates et les nombres viennent des données : les travaux arabes portent donc
issued: {literal: "٢٠١٩"}et des localisations comme[@hashimi2019, ٧٧]; les travaux latins gardent 0–9. - Une note ou une référence à un travail latin reste un paragraphe de la page arabe, composé à partir de la droite, et se lit de gauche à droite à l’intérieur : le moteur compose la référence comme un isolat, si bien que son URL, ses guillemets et son point final restent là où elle se termine.
