In breve
In Marocco, Algeria e Tunisia i libri in arabo stampano i numeri con le cifre usate in Europa, 1, 2, 3, non con ١، ٢، ٣. Una sola impostazione, la lingua e il paese del documento, dà quelle cifre a tutto il libro.
Che cosa comporrai
Un capitolo di una guida alle città antiche del Marocco, sulle porte di Fès, come lo stamperebbe un editore marocchino: 13,5 × 21 cm, Noto Naskh Arabic a 12,5 pt, titoli in Noto Kufi Arabic nel verde delle maioliche di Fès. Il testo va da destra a sinistra e il libro è rilegato a destra, come ogni libro arabo, ma ogni numero sulla pagina si scrive 1, 2, 3: i folio da 41 a 44, الفصل 3, i numeri di sezione 3-1 e 3-2, l’elenco delle porte da 1- a 5-, i richiami di nota (1) e il numero della figura شكل 3-1. È l’uso del Maghreb, dal Marocco alla Tunisia, e la pagina lo mostra con una sola impostazione. Un romanzo arabo rilegato a destra mostra lo stesso libro con le cifre ١٢ del Mashriq.

Preparazione
#1 · Il paese sceglie le cifre
Il codice è nella risposta breve qui sopra. numerals resta su 'auto', e il motore ricava le cifre dal tag: ar-MA, ar-DZ, ar-TN, ar-LY, ar-MR e ar-EH danno cifre europee, ar da solo e le regioni del Mashriq danno ١٢٣ (Cifre e stili numerici). Cambiano solo i numeri che scrive il motore: il folio, i contatori dei titoli, i numeri degli elenchi, i richiami di nota, i numeri delle figure. Gli anni nel testo, 789 e 1913, sono dell’autore, scritti nelle cifre dell’edizione, e il motore non li riscrive mai. Lo {startAt=3} del titolo legge ٣ come 3, così lo stesso Markdown serve entrambe le edizioni.
#2 · I segni attorno ai numeri
// «1-» and «(1)», as Arabic books write them; the number itself follows numerals.
const orderedLists = { color: col('green'), fontWeight: 700, marginTop: pt(0),
marginBottom: pt(0), levels: [{ level: 1, numberFormat: 'arabic', separator: '-' }] };
const footnotes = { markerTemplate: '({n})', numbering: 'page', noteNumberPosition: 'inline',
fontSize: pt(10), lineHeight: pt(15), separator: { width: 0.3, color: col('green') } };
// A colon after the label: a full stop after a number reads as a decimal point.
const captionStyle = { fontFamily: TEXT, fontSize: pt(10), color: col('ink'), labelBold: true,
labelColor: col('green'), labelSeparator: ': ', note: { color: col('muted') } };
I libri arabi scrivono un numero di elenco seguito da un trattino, 1-, e un richiamo di nota tra parentesi, (1); entrambi i modelli prendono le cifre del documento, quindi l’edizione del Mashriq stampa ١- e (١) con le stesse impostazioni (Note a piè di pagina). L’etichetta della didascalia finisce con i due punti, شكل 3-1:, perché un punto dopo un numero si legge come separatore decimale. Le note ricominciano da (1) a ogni pagina, come le numera la maggior parte dei libri arabi.
#3 · Una fascia di maioliche disegnata nel codice
// The star is two squares turned 45°; between four stars a small square. Paths only.
const star = (cx, cy, r) => {
const pts = [];
for (let k = 0; k < 16; k++) {
const a = (k * Math.PI) / 8;
const d = k % 2 ? r * 0.7654 : r; // where the two squares' sides cross
pts.push(`${(cx + d * Math.sin(a)).toFixed(2)} ${(cy - d * Math.cos(a)).toFixed(2)}`);
}
return `M${pts.join('L')}Z`;
};
function zellige(W, H, S) {
let stars = '';
let inner = '';
let squares = '';
for (let y = 0; y <= H + S; y += S) {
for (let x = 0; x <= W + S; x += S) {
stars += star(x, y, S * 0.47);
inner += star(x, y, S * 0.2);
squares += `M${x + S / 2} ${y + S / 2 - S * 0.17}l${S * 0.17} ${S * 0.17}`
+ `l${-S * 0.17} ${S * 0.17}l${-S * 0.17} ${-S * 0.17}Z`;
}
}
return `<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="${W * 10}" height="${H * 10}" `
+ `viewBox="0 0 ${W} ${H}"><rect width="${W}" height="${H}" fill="${palette.green}"/>`
+ `<path d="${stars}" fill="${palette.cobalt}" stroke="${palette.paper}" stroke-width="0.5"/>`
+ `<path d="${inner}" fill="${palette.paper}"/>`
+ `<path d="${squares}" fill="${palette.ochre}" stroke="${palette.paper}" stroke-width="0.4"/>`
+ '</svg>';
}
La figura è un SVG generato nel pen: stelle a otto punte fatte di due quadrati ruotati di 45°, piccoli quadrati tra l’una e l’altra, nel verde, nel cobalto e nell’ocra della palette. La sua didascalia è in arabo in entrambe le edizioni, numerata per capitolo, {h1}-{n}, come i tipi di risorsa arabi numerano le loro figure.

title: "مدن المغرب العتيقة" --- # أبواب فاس {startAt=3} ::resource{id="zellige"} لا يدخل المرء فاس العتيقة كما يدخل مدينة حديثة. فالمدينة التي أسّسها إدريس الأول على الضفة اليمنى لوادي فاس سنة 789، ثم بنى ابنه إدريس الثاني ضفتها الأخرى بعد عشرين عامًا، ظلّت قرونًا محاطة بسور لا تُعبر إلا أبوابه. ومن الباب يبدأ كل شيء: منه تدخل القوافل والبضائع، وعنده تُدفع المكوس، وإليه تُنسب الأحياء والأسواق والمقابر. وما زال الزائر يلمس هذا النظام إلى اليوم. فالسيارات تقف عند الأبواب، والطرق داخل السور ضيقة لا يمرّ فيها إلا الراجل والحمار والعربة الصغيرة التي يدفعها الحمّال وهو ينادي: «بالاك!» أي: انتبه. ولذلك يختار أهل فاس الباب الذي يدخلون منه بحسب وجهتهم، لا بحسب قربه، كما يختار المسافر الميناء الذي يرسو فيه. ## الأبواب الكبرى يصعب أن يُحصى عدد أبواب فاس إحصاءً واحدًا، لأن بعضها سُدّ وبعضها فُتح في القرن العشرين، ولأن المؤرخين لا يعدّون الأبواب الصغيرة بين الأحياء. لكن خمسة منها تكفي لرسم صورة المدينة: 1. **باب بوجلود**، المدخل الغربي الذي يعرفه كل زائر. بُني بشكله الحالي سنة 1913، وكُسي من الخارج بزليج أزرق هو لون فاس، ومن الداخل بزليج أخضر هو لون الإسلام. 2. **باب المحروق**، في الشمال الغربي، من العهد الموحدي. تقول الرواية إنه سُمّي بهذا الاسم لأن ثائرًا أُحرق عنده، ولا يثبت ذلك مصدر يُعتمد عليه. 3. **باب الكيسة**، في الشمال، قرب الطريق الصاعد إلى قبور المرينيين، ومنه يُشرف الماشي على المدينة كلها في المساء. 4. **باب الفتوح**، في الجنوب الشرقي، على عدوة الأندلس، وبجانبه مقبرة واسعة تحمل اسمه. 5. **باب الجديد**، في الجنوب، وهو كما يدلّ اسمه أحدث عهدًا من الأبواب الأربعة السابقة، فُتح ليصل المدينة العتيقة بالأحياء التي نشأت خارج سورها. وليس الترتيب هنا ترتيب أهمية، بل ترتيب الدورة التي يقوم بها الماشي حول السور إذا بدأ من الغرب وسار مع عقارب الساعة. وتستغرق هذه الدورة على القدمين نحو 4 ساعات، إذا لم يتوقف الماشي لشرب الشاي، وهو أمر نادر.[^tour] ## مدينة داخل السور تمتد فاس البالي داخل أسوارها على نحو 280 هكتارًا، وتضم أكثر من 9000 زقاق، بعضها لا يزيد عرضه على متر واحد. وفي قلبها جامع القرويين، الذي أسّسته فاطمة الفهرية سنة 859، وتحوّل مع الزمن إلى أحد أقدم مراكز التعليم في العالم. وحوله تتوزع الأسواق بحسب الحِرف: سوق العطارين، وسوق النجارين، والدباغة الكبرى التي تُصبغ فيها الجلود في أحواض حجرية كما كانت تُصبغ منذ قرون. وقد أدرجت منظمة اليونسكو المدينة العتيقة في قائمة التراث العالمي سنة 1981، فصار ترميم الأبواب والأسوار عملًا تتعاقب عليه الهيئات والمهندسون والحرفيون. وفي ورشات الترميم يتعلم الشباب صناعة الزليج من جديد: يُقطع الطين المشويّ قطعًا صغيرة بالمطرقة الحادة، قطعة قطعة، ثم تُصفّ القطع مقلوبة على الأرض حسب الرسم، ويُصبّ عليها الجص، فإذا جفّ قُلبت اللوحة فظهرت النجمة.[^zellige] ## الباب والكتاب يقول أهل فاس إن من عرف أبواب المدينة عرف المدينة. وقد يصدق هذا على الكتب أيضًا: فلكل كتاب أبوابه، والقارئ الذي يعرف من أين يدخل لا يضيع في أزقته. ولهذا قُسّم هذا الكتاب أبوابًا وفصولًا، ورُقّمت صفحاته بالأرقام التي يقرؤها أهل المغرب في كتبهم وصحفهم ولافتات شوارعهم: 1 و2 و3، لا ١ و٢ و٣. وليس في ذلك خروج عن العربية. فالأرقام التي يسمّيها الأوروبيون «عربية» وصلت إليهم من الأندلس والمغرب، وكانت تُكتب بهذا الشكل في مخطوطات المغرب قبل أن تصل إلى أوروبا، بينما بقيت الأرقام الهندية المشرقية في مصر والشام والعراق.[^digits] فالكتاب المغربي حين يطبع 41 و42 و43 في أسفل صفحاته لا يقلّد أحدًا، بل يعود إلى ما كان عليه. [^tour]: يُفضَّل أن تبدأ الدورة صباحًا، قبل أن تشتد الشمس على الجهة الجنوبية من السور. [^zellige]: تُسمّى القطعة الواحدة من الزليج «فرْمة»، ويحتاج المعلّم إلى عشرات الأشكال المختلفة لرسم نجمة واحدة. [^digits]: تُعرف الأرقام المغربية في كتب الحساب القديمة باسم «الأرقام الغبارية»، لأن الحُسّاب كانوا يرسمونها على لوح مغطى بالغبار. :::paragraphs{style="colophon" dir=ltr} A chapter written in Arabic for the Postext Cookbook, from an invented book on the old cities of Morocco.

Assegna a un libro arabo il tag 'ar', non LANG
Le edizioni di una ricetta sono en ed es, ma un esempio arabo è arabo in entrambe: `locale: LANG` lo comporrebbe da sinistra a destra, lo rilegherebbe a sinistra, numererebbe le pagine 1 2 3 e darebbe alle figure didascalie Figure o Figura. Da postext 1.30 il tag è anche la lingua usata per lo shaping del testo (misura, disegno e incorporamento), quindi con un tag inglese o spagnolo un carattere come Markazi Text non disegna le forme arabe delle sue virgolette basse e dei suoi segni di interpunzione, e le righe vanno a capo altrove. Scrivi tu il tag: 'ar' (cifre arabo-indiane, la convenzione del Mashriq), una regione come 'ar-EG' o 'ar-SA', oppure 'ar-MA', 'ar-DZ' o 'ar-TN' per un’edizione del Maghreb con cifre europee. Una pagina latina che si limita a citare l’arabo mantiene la propria lingua. Testo da destra a sinistra →

I caratteri arabi hanno bisogno del loro file arabic, tramite il blocco arabic
Fontsource serve Amiri, Noto Naskh Arabic o Scheherazade New come un file per sottoinsieme, e le lettere arabe stanno nel file arabic. loadFonts scarica solo latin (e latin-ext), così a schermo l’arabo viene da un font di sistema ed è misurato male, e fontsourceProvider passa al PDF quel file latin, che stampa riquadri vuoti. Elenca il blocco arabic del kit, chiama loadArabicFonts(FONTS, markdown) dopo loadFonts, con ogni peso che le pagine compongono in arabo elencato in FONTS, e passa a renderToPdf fontProvider: arabicPdfProvider.
