Request for help: Experimental Tiddlywiki 5.1.22p with RTL (right-to-left) support

[Mohammad]

There are 12 languages that are written from the right to the left:

• Arabic
• Aramaic
• Azeri
• Divehi
• Fula
• Hebrew
• Kurdish
• N'ko
• Persian
• Rohingya
• Syriac
• Urdu

So, it would be great if Tiddlywiki supports the RTL and BiDi feature!

Recently Jeremy has introduced an experimental TW-5.1.22p which allows to have RTL tiddlers. This is really amazing!

• Experimental Tiddlywiki with RTL support: https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/pull/4541#issuecomment-610571020

I appreciate if those who are interested in RTL feature of Tiddlywiki, to help as tester or give feedback and idea on this.

Cheers

I did remove my post since it was not clear. The link above contains a ZIP file, with a test version. ...

Just copy paste RTL text, or write text, in the title or the text and it will automatically switch to RTL

Hi Mario,

I have created a demo wiki with many tests and published on Tiddlyspot.

http://kookma.rtl.tiddlyspot.com/

Amazingly the experimental RTL Tiddlywiki passes almost all tests. The tests were to reproduce all tiddlers tagged with wikitext from https://tiddlywiki.com/prerelease/

Detailed feedback can be seen here: https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/pull/4541

According to these tests, it seems Tiddlywiki can be among the best html5+Js+css tools with RTL support.

It absolutely needs some modification especially in $:/themes/tiddlywiki/vanilla/base.

Best wishes

Mohammad
