Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-text] cursive shaping breaks needs better scoping

You may add "link" (element `<a>`) to the list above.

In Arabic, some prepositions are two or three characters: من MIN (from), في FI (in), إلى ILA (for/to) etc., and are a separate word.

But some other prepositions are one character:   ب BI (with), ل LI (for/to), and they join with the word which follow them. So they shape like : لـ , بـ .

When the following word (or phrase) is a link, the joining must still apply. Here are two examples among others (each in English and then Arabic) :

1) Verify your site with [i18n validator](https://validator.w3.org/i18n-checker/).

حقق موقعكك ب[محقق التدويل](https://validator.w3.org/i18n-checker/).

2) To [lead the Web to its full potential](https://www.w3.org/).

ل[قيادة الويب إلى إمكانيته الكاملة](https://www.w3.org/).

Currently, only Firefox and Edge do the right shaping

Don't know in other languages if part of a written word can be a text link.
