Rules added after checking

This list does not yet include izhar (halqi and shafawi), lam qamariyyah, hamzat al-qat’, the heavy or light raa, or the lam of the name of Allah. It does not mark madd ‘iwad. It marks madd leen only at a stop at the end of a verse, silah with natural madd or madd munfasil, and madd badal only where the Mushaf writes it with a small alif. Natural madd counts only the small signs of the Mushaf (small alif, small waw, small yaa), not the ordinary alif, waw or yaa. The rest will be added after checking.
