Siege of Baghdad. Legacy

Could you check the following statements attributed to Israeli historian Michal Biran in the Siege of Baghdad article? They seem contradictory, or perhaps they are disputed by other historians.

Whereas an oft-quoted description from a 16th-century historian details that so many books from Baghdad's libraries were thrown into the Tigris that "the colour of the river changed into black from their multitude," the historian Michal Biran has shown that large libraries reopened for learning and teaching within two years of the siege. Hulegu and his successors as rulers of the Ilkhanate actively patronized and encouraged musical and literary traditions; it was subsequent sieges like those conducted by Timur in 1393 and 1401 and by the Ottomans in 1534 that ensured the city's long-term marginalization.

Request for a template for Hijri Date

There should be a template for Hijri date. If we would write 1/9/1445 in the template it will give the resulted text as: 'Hijri: 1 Ramadan 1445' or '1 Ramadan 1445 AH' and if the date or month is not known only the year would be shown and would also convert the Hijri date to Gregorian date.

Digital Quran?

I'm quite confused as to what the article digital Quran is meant to be about. Is it about…

…antique dedicated devices for displaying the Holy Quran, similar to electronic pocket dictionaries? [1]
…twenty year old desktop devices which display the Quran? [2]
…Quran devices for the blind with braille TTY output? [3]
…digital audio players specifically meant for Quran playback, with buttons for each surah or some other means of surah/āyah selection? [4]
…websites meant for the display on a user's pre-existing device of the text of the Quran, such as the Omani Digital Muṣḥaf? [5]
…downloadable ebooks of the Quran, which may or may not come as full applications for mobile phones?
…possibly even Quran pen devices, which are physical maṣāḥif made of digital paper? [6]
…some combination of these topics, or all of them?

Some guidance would be appreciated; it seems out article on the subject is quite old and has just been expanded and expanded as technology has changed with little regard to how different these types of digital Quran are from one another.
