I am still learning about how arabic should be
handled, but in the case of the two
line sample, one would expect the words to line
up with each other vertically within this page,
at the left margin. It might be that they
shouldn't line up at the left, but I suspect
that this is the case here, as the single
line sample does line up there, and as the page
is essentially set up for ltr format (as far
as I know).
In the case of the sample with two lines,
however, they don't line up. The bottom
line is set off to the right.
Further experiments seem to suggest that
this might not be a Wiki thing, however.
I will note my finding on that page, as
I get a better grasp.
There is some arabic on this Wiki page,
btw. Wouldn't you know it; it's only
a single ling :)
