Attached are the first 23 references from https://ar.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D8%A5%D8%B3%D8%B7%D9%86%D8%A8%D9%88%D9%84#.D9.85.D8.B5.D8.A7.D8.AF.D8.B1 (the Arabic wikipedia article on Istanbul), as generated by my XeLaTeX formatter. Things to notice: 1) Unicode BiDi algorithm at work in web version in places like citation [1], "Statistics of the 2010 Turkey census". XeLaTeX renders this backwards. 2) Broken italic for arabic in GNU freefont in citation [2]. (straightforward to fix) 3) Arabic comma instead of English comma in citation [23]. (in both web and XeLaTeX output) Item #1 is the one I'd really appreciate suggestions for fixing. --scott -- ( http://cscott.net/ )
