Arabic and Persian scripts not rendered in italic

• Wiktionary page: https://fr.wiktionary.org/wiki/tasse

Wikicode:

De l’{{étyl|ar|fr|mot=طس|tr=tass|sens=[[coupe]], [[écuelle]]}}, lui-même, selon certains, [[emprunté]] au {{étyl|fa|fr|mot=تشت|tr=tašt|sens=tasse}}, [[soucoupe]], ce qui serait inexact selon {{w|Henri Lammens|Lammens}}. Les dérivés''تشت tašt'' et ''طست tast'', respectivement persan et arabe, sont du même radical « de haute antiquité » arabe: ''طس tas'''.

Here, arabic characters are well printed when they are handled by the étyl template. But when those characters are part of the “normal” text, their representation is broken. I mean:

# OK
{{étyl|ar|fr|mot=طس|tr=tass|sens=[[coupe]], [[écuelle]]}}

# BAD
''طس tas''

I will post a screenshot in coming days to demonstrate the issue.

I could detect a few: https://gist.github.com/lasconic/56762057597b1eaa8c0465ab89c4dc22

added the following in parse_word in render.py and ran --render

    
    regex = r"<i>[^<]*([\u0627-\u064a]+)[^<]*</i>"
    def check_arabic(definition: str):
        matches = re.findall(regex, definition)
        if matches:
            print("####ERROR arabic in italic in definition :" + word, flush=True)
            print(definition, flush=True)
            print(matches, flush=True)
    
    for definition in definitions:
        if isinstance(definition, tuple):
            for subdef in definition:
                if isinstance(subdef, tuple):
                    for subsubdef in subdef:
                        check_arabic(subsubdef)
                else:
                    check_arabic(subdef)
        else:
            check_arabic(definition)
            
    if etymology:
        matches = re.findall(regex, etymology)
        if matches:
            print("####ERROR arabic in italic in etymology :" + word, flush=True)
            print(etymology, flush=True)
            print(matches, flush=True)

--gen-dict is a killer feature, what an idea! 😃
