Hello Itay,
This discussion, I guess, fits better the developers' list, or to
private communication -- let me know which is preferred.
I have filed bug 6884 for implementation of full RTL support in the
current LON-CAPA. See: bugs.loncapa.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6884
If you would like to post comments on that bug/enhancement request
please send an e-mail to helpd...@loncapa.org to request creation of
an account in bugs.loncapa.org (the e-mail address from which you send
your e-mail will be used as your username in LON-CAPA's bugzilla
instance).
Thank you,
Stuart

Hi,
I am sorry to say that RTL-support in LON-CAPA is very limited. I
had
build a prototype of a new system,
https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__github.com_gerdkortemeyer_loncapa&d=DwIGaQ&c=nE__W8dFE-shTxStwXtp0A&r=VsGo3jOm8tGLd6f-KlhT-g&m=q2fTtq-o_Pnoirx_kfzQGk7Pc94spwnIz7g6qIP8EN4&s=Bd0-3OX-ilgzse8VZbC2Vb51UQUjbCVLVtdJ_OW83bs&e=
which has full RTL-support for all output, homework, editors, etc.
Unfortunately, we do not have enough funding to develop that
prototype
into a real system or even to integrate aspects into the production
system. If anybody wants to look what?s done in the prototype and
integrate that into the production system, that would be great. And
yes,
funding would be nice ?
I am sorry, but at this point there is no funding. But there might
be other options, too.
This discussion, I guess, fits better the developers' list, or to
private communication -- let me know which is preferred.
BTW: something that might help for at least option-response is the
<drawoptionlist />-tag, which at least allows you to move around
where
the dropdown-menu appears.
Thank you.
