Editing Glossary of vexillology (section)

=== Illustrations ===
Flag [[illustration]]s generally depict flags flying from the observer's point of view from left to right, the view known as the '''[[obverse]]''' (or "front"); the other side is the '''[[Obverse and reverse|reverse]]''' (or "back").  There are some exceptions, notably some [[Islamic Flags|Islamic flags]] inscribed in [[Arabic]], which is written from right to left; for these the obverse is defined as the side with the hoist to the observer's right.
