    Shervin: Re action-48, I received Richard’s test cases, and
    will look into it.

    Richard: The test cases all pass, so it’s a question of looking
    into the test cases themselves.

    Hi, Najib.

    Shervin: I’ll look into a solution for automating of using
    Richard’s picker, to avoid having to copy and paste hunders of
    terms.
    ... For action-59, I’m waiting for merging Najib’s PR and do
    the cleanup after that.
    ... It would make thins simpler.
    ... And everybody can sync their forks with the upstream after
    that.

    Shervin: What I’m going to do is to tidy the HTML and validate
    against the validator. Two parts at the same time.

    Richard: We released a new i18n-checker a few days ago and it
    does some checks on the directions and control characters too.
    ... In this link above I’ve run it against the ALReq document.

    Richard: This link is the latest version.

    <najib> the align attribute is removed, replaced by CSS float

    Shervin: I’ll add this to my tests. I might send two different
    pull requests to separate them.

    Shervin: Najib, the term “Farissi” is pretty new to me.
    ... Is it mentioned in any source?

    <Shervin> نستعليق

    Najib: I’ll remove the term Farissi and only keep Nasta’liq

    Richard: While doing that, you can add the translation of
    nasta’liq like the other terms.

    Shervin: It would be nice to add more information about the
    example images.
    ... Like, for the Rabat and Maghribi example, it would be nice
    to know whether it is from Quran, or any specific part of it.
    ... So that curious readers could track down the source for
    more information.
    ... It does not have to in the main document.

    <r12a> <figure>

    <r12a> <img ...>

    <r12a> <figcaption> ... </figcaption>

    <r12a> </figure>

    Shervin: It can be in the caption, in the list of sources, or
    other places that are not in the text.

    Najib: Is this the correct way of referring to Wikipedia as the
    source?

    Shervin: Referring to Wikipedia as a source needs some
    attention, like mentioing controbutors.
    ... If you put the links to these images, I can figure that
    out.

    Richard: While doing that, having a single class name for them
    would help unify their size.

    <Shervin> ACTION Najib Provide sources and URLs for the images

    <trackbot> Created ACTION-63 - Provide sources and urls for the
    images [on Najib Tounsi - due 2016-09-13].
