Numbers in Arabic languages
Different region in the Arabic countries use different notation for numbers. We have implemented Arabic-Indic and Eastern Arabic-Indic numbers
Variables ligatures
Arabic characters, when written together, are typografically joined with the so called ligatures.
In mathematics, variable names are typically formed by a unique character. Hence by default ligatures are not used in WIRIS editor. We consider every character a stand alone mathematical variable.
Arabic ligatures are implemented for text boxes (the MathML mtext tag) and also when the Italic mode is not active.
