[pmwiki-users] unicode-bidi

[Petko Yotov]

Recent PmWiki versions have the "rtl" and "ltr" classes that can be also 
used as wikistyles, but in browsers these styles only override the text 
content and only inline "child nodes" of the element, but not block 
nodes like a paragraph. When you use a div block, sometimes PmWiki will 
wrap the internal content with <p> paragraph tags which are block child 
nodes.

You can use in the wiki these:

   %p rtl% This paragraph will be reversed.


I've added the child nodes to the core for the next version:

   .rtl, .rtl * {direction:rtl; unicode-bidi:bidi-override;}

If you add the same to your pmwiki/pub/css/local.css file, or if you 
upgrade to 2.2.107 in a few days, you should be able to use it in your 
wiki like this:

   >>rtl<<
   This block will be reversed.
   >><<

or
   (:div class=rtl:)
   This block will be reversed.
   (:divend:)
