<p class="MsoNormal">Dear all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Following Juan’s suggestion, I have begun working on support for presenting and editing bidirectional (left-to-right and right-to-left) text in Cuis.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">You can test drive my current progress in the repository <a href="https://github.com/drdavidf/Cuis-Smalltalk-BidiText.git">
https://github.com/drdavidf/Cuis-Smalltalk-BidiText.git</a><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Currently for this to work you need to change the implementation of Text >> withAttributeValuesDo:
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Set alignment := nil instead of alignment := 0. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This change is harmless as far as I could test, but without it the default alignment for all text becomes left-to-right, even if the text is right-to-left.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I hope that later Juan will insert this change into core Cuis.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">You can see how Bidi text looks and behaves by running BidiTextMorph >> example.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I think that it is best if any you create github issues for any problems you find, and any enhancements/changes/features you think should be added. This will make it easier to keep track of the progress of this work.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Cheers,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">David<o:p></o:p></p>
