Please keep this post in English, as I am forwarding it to a developer who does not speak Hebrew. Thanks.
In order to determine if a string is RTL this (untested) PHP regex was suggested: preg_match( "|[ا-يא-ת]|", substr($text, 0, 1)) 1) Is grepping the first letter of a string for a Hebrew or Arabic character considered good enough to determine if a string should be treated as RTL for purposes of setting directionality in HTML output? 2) Does Python have a better way of doing this?
