LTR/RTL Support #117

Open TheHolyWaffle opened 6 years ago

TheHolyWaffle commented 6 years ago

RTL (Right-To-Left) support is quite necessary when using the editor to write in languages such as hebrew or arabic. A simple text alignment right does not result in the same effect.

Preferrably, buttons to switch text direction to LTR or RTL is what is needed here.

Interesting issue. This seems extremely non-standard. Have any examples other native web elements that allow RTL support?

TheHolyWaffle commented 6 years ago

Global 'dir' attribute: can be used on any element to specify text direction (See https://www.w3schools.com/tags/att_global_dir.asp)
bdi and bdo tags to override directionality

@TheHolyWaffle thanks for the info. If this is necessary for you, feel free to submit a PR!

Please make this a per-paragraph feature. Having this affect the whole text is not fun for us RTL'ers (imagine including a code section).
