[Cuis-dev] Bidirectional text support

[David Faitelson]

Dear all,

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.

You can test drive my current progress in the repository https://github.com/drdavidf/Cuis-Smalltalk-BidiText.git

Currently for this to work you need to change the implementation of Text >> withAttributeValuesDo:

Set alignment := nil instead of alignment := 0.

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.

I hope that later Juan will insert this change into core Cuis.

You can see how Bidi text looks and behaves by running BidiTextMorph >> example.

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.

Cheers,
David
