Is RTL possible ? #13

Open soderlind opened 8 years ago

soderlind commented 8 years ago

Quick question, is RTL (right to left) language supported?

raiju commented 8 years ago

I haven't tested it, but if the input html correctly hints at rtl it'll probably work. This depends on the kindle's rtl handling (haven't found any good documentation on this).

(Please report back if you do get a chance to test it!)

I tried adding <html dir='rtl'> and <body dir='rtl'> with no success.

Sorry, I'm not sure how this would be fixed, still couldn't find any good docs on this.

Only thing I've found is .. if you want rtl, "According to Kovid Goyal ( creator of Calibre) you need to convert to azw3 instead of mobi"

raiju commented 8 years ago

Ah, if that is true, then the current library won't work at all. After a bit of sniffing around, the only thing I found that could inform an implementation is: https://github.com/kovidgoyal/calibre/blob/master/src/calibre/ebooks/conversion/plugins/mobi_output.py#L264. I'm afraid I won't have the time to work on this at all.

I understand, no problem.

btw, I'm using you library with my WordPress Read Offline plugin.
