Farsi text written in Arabic script will be laid out as RTL, with some numerals, Latin text, etc as embedded bits of LTR ("left to right"). In the examples you link to above, it *looks* like all the math formulas are meant to be read as LTR ("left to right"). The ones that appear inline in body text seem to be getting shown much like any other LTR bit (English text, numerals, etc). The one that appears on a standalone line is, in the "before" picture, laid out as LTR. It's also right-aligned, matching the overall look of the page. The "after" picture shows the exact same LTR layout of the formula, but also left-aligns the whole chunk, making it stand out as rather distinct from the rest of the page. Is this how math formulas are normally laid out in Arabic, Farsi, Urdu, Hebrew, etc texts? > but it is hacky and it makes some problem and doesn't work with extensions > such > as > PDF export extension. > > if we don't correct it all of LTR wikis have to correct it by that JS code. (In reply to comment #5) > Created attachment 8995 [details] > incurrect direction result in PDF extension PDF export will be entirely separate software and bugs should be opened separately -- if about the PDF export on *.wikipedia.org etc that'll belong in with the Collection extension. There'll be a number of RTL and complex-script issues there. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
