It works!
Thank you ... very, very, VERY much.
So, somehow it knows that the Hebrew is right-to-left without being
explicitly told. That's great.
I guess, next, I'll have to learn how to make some of the fields that
display wider, and perhaps, have a different Hebrew and Greek fonts.
If you could help, is that something I change in the layout page, where it
has:
<dt><?php echo __('Hebrew'); ?></dt>
<dd>
<?php echo h($clause['Clause']['hebrew']); ?>
</dd>
Or, do I change all of that by learning about Themes and using css?
You were very helpful: very clear. Thank you!
