Re: [webkit-dev] whats bidi stand for?

Hi Bin.

Bin Chen:
 I am reading the source code of webkit right now, I find a file name
 like bidi, I can't know the exact meaning, can you tell me whats this
 stand for?

“Bidi” is an abbreviation for “bidirectional text”, and refers to blocks
of text that use both left-to-right and right-to-left scripts (e.g. a
paragraph with English text that also includes some Arabic text).  See:

Hi All,

Is there any plan of making webkit render pages incrementally for better
performance?

Thanks,
Ankush.

You may be interested in defining the USE(LOW_BANDWIDTH_DISPLAY) macro (which
becomes WTF_USE_LOW_BANDWIDTH_DISPLAY) when building WebCore.  Note that this
will cause FOUC (flash of unstyled content) by definition, though:

That sounds like one vote for renaming that file.  
BidirectionalTextLayout.cpp :)
Or maybe BidirectionalWordSorting or similar.  Mitz and Hyatt are two of
very few to ever have hacked on that file.
