 * and a third weight change on hover.
 *
 * These links sit inside running prose, so unlike the "Read also" list they do
 * need a non-colour affordance (WCAG 1.4.1). A single underline pushed to a 5px
 * offset clears the dots and descenders Arabic hangs below the baseline
 * (ي ب ن ج …), which is what made the old style hard to read.
