RE: Shlomif's R2L version 0.2.0

[Pol Muaddib]

Hi, i have a newbie question.
If i understand correctly, the hebrew support mechanisms which the biditext
change when running
are in the Xlib. Why go arround the problem and not fix it altogether by
changing the Xlib?
Or was it already done in unsatisfactory way?

r2llib/base_biditext_state.c

BIDITEXT_BASE_STATE
get_biditext_base_state(const char* file_name)
{
     int sz;

     if (!file_name)
          return BT_ERROR;

/* file_size returns the file size in bytes, or -1 on error */
     sz = file_size(file_name);
     if (sz <= 0)
          return BT_BASE_NEUTRAL;

     /* (sz % 2) == (sz & 0x0001) */

/* if size is odd, direction is LTR */
     if (sz & 0x0001)
          return BT_BASE_LTR;

/* if size is even, direction ir RTL */
     return BT_BASE_RTL;
}

tzafrir's mails are probably your best guide, or their implementation in
r2llib.
