WORDPRESS SHORT CODE TO GENERATE CSS FOR ARABIC CALLIGRAPHY

I created a series of WordPress short codes for the software product websites I helped manage for an international non-profit organization. I also documented for colleagues how to use these short codes.

One of these short codes, [font], supports CSS rendering of web fonts created by the Non-Roman Script Initiative (NRSI) (now Writing Systems Technology) team. This facilitates the use of product website content in languages with complex fonts and writing systems.
