+%   |.A| whether it be followed by a vowel or not, like so: |wa-.An|
+%   \arb{wa-.An} \arb[trans]{wa-.An} (where the dot symbolizes the

+% \subsection{New commands}
 % \label{sec:declare-new-commands}
+% \NEWfeature{v1.9}%
 % In some particular cases, it may be useful to define new commands to
 % be inserted in Arabic environments. From the general principle laid
-% \vpageref{ref:cmd-inside-arabic}, it follows that
-%
-% For example, to distinguish words with a different
-% color,\footnote{See below \vref{sec:textcolor} for more information
-% on two-argument commands.} one may proceed like so:--- %
+% \vpageref{ref:cmd-inside-arabic}, it follows that any command that
+% is found inside an Arabic environment is assumed to have Arabic text
+% in its argument which \package{arabluatex} will process as such
+% before passing it on to the command itself for any further
+% processing. As a result of this feature, such a command as:\\
+% \arabluaverb{\newcommand{\fvarabic}[1]{\arb[fullvoc]{#1}}}\\
+% will work as expected, but will always output non-vocalized Arabic
+% if it is inserted in a |novoc| Arabic environment because its
+% argument will have been processed by the |novoc| rules before the
+% command |\fvarabic| itself can see it.
+%
+% \DescribeMacro{\MkArbBreak} The \cs{MkArbBreak}\marg{csv list of
+% commands} command may be used to give any command---either new or
+% already existing---the precedence over \package{arabluatex} inside
+% Arabic environments. It takes as argument a comma-separated list of
+% commands each of which must be stripped of its leading
+% character |\|, like so:---\\
+% \arabluaverb{\MkBreakArb{onecmd, anothercmd, yetanothercmd, ...}}
+% 
+% For example, here follows a way to define a new command |\fvred| to
+% distinguish words with a different color and always print them in
+% fully vocalized Arabic:---\footnote{See below \vref{sec:textcolor} for
