Finally getting back to the RTL issue. I did also notice a test at <a href="http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Test/RTL">http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Test/RTL</a><br><br>Arabic words in other text are handled fine, and until now that's pretty much all I've attempted. Some attempts to fiinally put the Arabic version of the Casablanca Statement on the wiki (it's about less than optimal results:
<br><br>(1) text is flush right by default (expected this)<br>(2) insertion of LTR text causes an odd rearranging of parts of a sentence.<br><br>See <a href="http://www.panafril10n.org/wikidoc/pmwiki.php/PanAfrLoc/CasablancaStatementAR">
http://www.panafril10n.org/wikidoc/pmwiki.php/PanAfrLoc/CasablancaStatementAR</a> .* I have broken a phrase with "(Kabissa)" in it so that it is 3 separate lines. If one reconnects those lines, then the two Arabic parts are switched around.
<br><br>It may be that putting Arabic or other RTL text in an otherwise LTR language wiki would require a wikigroup setup? Or can it be done with some other command like a box? Others' experience is sought.And of course I'm very interested in knowing the plans and how mixed LTR + RTL text will be handled.
