--- Comment #14 from Amir E. Aharoni <[email protected]> 2011-08-31 17:01:52 UTC --- Created attachment 8994 --> https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/attachment.cgi?id=8994 an idea for a function with a dotted circle Zack, thank you for making me notice the dotted circle use in Hebrew. In fact, it's not implemented correctly for Hebrew. The current code for Hebrew says [ "\u05b0\u25cc", "\u05b0" ], where \u05b0 is a vowel diacritic ("niqqud") and \u25cc is the dotted circle. The dotted circle is supposed to come before the diacritic sign, not after it. The dotted circle is used a lot in the Hebrew section (incorrectly). It is also used (correctly) in several sections for Indian languages, such as Sinhala and Gujarati. And it will be useful for Arabic and more languages. Instead of repeating it all the time, maybe it can be factored out to a function? I wrote this proof of concept function and i am attaching it as a patch. It's only for testing, not for committing. I'm not much of a JS guru - i didn't know what would be the best place to put it, so i just put it in the beginning of the file. It works for me, but i've got a hunch that there's a better location for it. Its logic can also be more clever - for example, it can take an array of characters and return all the needed diacritics at once. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
