closedAllow overriding direction of part of text
0%
Description
There should be a way to override direction of part of text. Maybe using <span dir="rtl"> and <p dir="rtl"> (needs permitting use of "dir" HTML attribute and/or "direction" CSS attribute) or even better some nicer shorter Textile-ful syntax.
Upstream Textile supports <span dir="rtl">. It also supports another trick using CSS, but just for a complete paragraph (not some part of it):
p{direction: rtl}.
This one doesn't work in Redmine too.
An example (paste it in some RTL context and view there):
ابراهیم C++ را دوست دارد.
In this example "C++" is shown as "++C" in an RTL context, while it should be shown like result of the following HTML snippet:
<p dir="rtl">ابراهیم <div dir="ltr">C++</div> را دوست دارد.</p>
(The "C++" example is a simple one to show the problem. I'm aware of workaround of writing it as "++C", but that's just a workaround. And even if someone prefers to go the workaround way, working around more complex examples can be very more difficult.)
