-Currently ikiwiki does not support left-to-right languages like Hebrew and Arabic,
-in the sense that page text is always aligned to the left. Unless you do some CSS
-hacking which doesn't scale well when you have many RTL pages.
-
-In the future it would be nice to make the while wiki UI go right-to-left if the user
-chooses, but right now what's really important to me as an RTL language user
-is that the body text can go right-to-left.
-
-This can be done with CSS easily:
-
-[[!format css """
-body {
- text-align: right;
- direction: rtl;
-}
-"""]]
-
-Currently there are two ways to make specific pages be RTL:
-
-1. Include a local.css file with the above code as an attachment of each RTL page
-2. Specify CSS with the [[ikiwiki/directive/meta]] directive
-
-The problem is that option 2 requires [[plugins/htmlscrubber]] to be off.
-
-My suggestion: Add a parameter to the meta directive, which allows adding
-an *rtl.css* file in addition to the exisiting ones. This file can be both at the top-level
-and per-page overriden, just like local.css. The page.tmpl file can then use the
-meta field to conditionally use the rtl.css, both the wiki-global one and the
-per-page one (just like it does with local.css, IIRC).
-
-And it won't require htmlscrubber off, just like local.css doesn't.
-
-In the future rtl.css can be extended to also RTLize the whole UI, e.g. including the
-location of the "buttons" at the top, the page name, code blocks and so on.
-
-What do you think? I can try this and send a patch. It just requires an additional
-meta field and a CSS file.
-
-For example, to make a page RTL include something like this inside it:
-
- \[[!meta dir="rtl"]]
-
-Please tell me what you think.
