Hi Michael,
I guess that is the question. Initially I thought it was a generic
problem for tags interrupting unicode characters. Now, upon further
inspection I find that Firefox (and Thunderbird) keep/restore the
ligature form of the character, whereas Chrome (and PrinceXML) do not.
So it is not (just) about structure after all, but about rendering
mostly. I still don't see how the renderer would 'know' when to apply a
ligature in an interrupted flow though, but I guess it's been taken care
of, by some.
Best
Pieter

Hi all,
For some Arabic text we need an underline to start (or end) halfway
throuh a word. The <u> markup for that is interrupting the characters
and therefore killing the required ligatures (writing variants of the
characters). Would anyone know a proper way around this? Example in
Word (they know how to do it):

Thanks,
