--- Comment #3 from Amir E. Aharoni <amir.ahar...@mail.huji.ac.il> 2011-06-02 15:47:51 UTC --- Directionality is a property of a script - Latin is always LTR and Arabic is always RTL. That said, nice ways for indicating the language of content which don't involve manual typing of HTML tags is more than welcome. Just as a matter of curiosity, i was recently asked by people involved with problems of bi-directionality on behalf of the Standards Institute of Israel for help with compiling a glossary (in English) of terms related to bi-directional text, and i raised this problem - the impossibility of indicating the directionality of plain text input fields in websites such as Wikipedia, Twitter and Facebook. So now "plain text" will probably be included in that glossary with an explanation of this problem. Without our little discussion in Berlin this probably wouldn't have happened. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
