Template documentation
This template is used for inserting Syriac Abbreviation Mark (SAM), which can be used for generating a special abbreviation form for the Syriac text.
Usage
ܫܘܒ{{subst:SAM}}
Generating: ܫܘܒ
Technical notes
When SAM is inserted in the Syriac text, the rendering engine should put an overline on all subsequent Syriac script letters, which has a point at each edge and a point in the middle, until the first character which is not a Syriac letter or diacritic. Some fonts can provide the way of generating this overline via the OpenType feature tag "stch". But only a small number of web browsers got support.
