This pull request addresses a text alignment issue in right-to-left (RTL) user interfaces within text view, specifically related to text being aligned at the trailing edge of text views. The problem is also detailed in Issue #114.
Solution
To resolve this, I have implemented a fix by setting the baseWritingDirection in the paragraph styles to override the default behavior.
Considerations
It's important to note that this fix might alter the appearance of logs completely written in RTL languages. However, this change is justified, considering the limitations in Xcode's editor regarding RTL language support, especially when RTL strings are combined with String Interpolation. As a result, string literals, particularly for logging purposes like network logs, are predominantly written in English.
Furthermore, considering network logging specifically, many standards and protocols are inherently in English, including standard headers and their values. This consideration supports the decision to enforce a left-to-right base writing direction for improved readability and consistency in such contexts.
