The forum we are running is mainly in english but we have some pages recently that are RTL (arabic) what is the recommended way to get a specific topic to have RTL direction is this the only posibility ? [imagem] Support RTL blocks for LTR-layout website and vice versa Feat…

Fantastic! I have updated discourse to latest and it is working like a charm. [imagem] simon: The button for toggling the editor’s direction is found here. Toggling the editor’s direction doesn’t affect the editor’s output, it just makes it easier to type. My first comment would be if you ca…

I would love to support partial ltr/rtl to be visible in the composer but it will require a pretty big change to the composer cause we can no longer use a text area and would have to use a content editable div

So maybe removing that button is better. because at least for my community, it is confusing the ppl. they think that it is that button that decides the direction of text. another question. <a class="lightbox" href="https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/6/a/6a435bcb77036c6158f670b07d84fe4b43ebe79c.png" data-download-href="/uploads/short-url/fa2Vtb3YRJMMAqSjKRmR7iuyen2.png?dl=1" title="Screenshot-2018-2-7%20%D8%AA%D9%88%D8%B6%DB%8C%D8%AD%20%D8%B1%D9%88%D8%B4%20%D8%AE%D9%88%D8%AF%DA%A9%D8%A7%D8%B1%20%D8%AC%D9%87%D8%AA%E2%80%8C%D8%AF%D9%87%DB%8C%20%D9%85%D8%AA%D9%86%20%D8%A7%D9%86%DA%AF%D9%84%DB%8C%D8%B3%DB%8C%20%D9%88%20%D9%81%D8%A7%D8%B1%D8%B3%DB%8C" rel="noopener nofollow ugc">[Screenshot-2018-2-7%20%D8%AA%D9%88%D8%B6%DB%8C%D8%AD%20%D8%B1%D9%88%D8%B4%20%D8%AE%D9%88%D8%AF%DA%A9%D8%A7%…

[imagem] parisa: So maybe removing that button is better. Please ignore this suggestion. It is good when it comes to a full ltr/rtl post.

Thanks for the feedback! One of the main reasons for adding the button was to make it easier to add blocks of code on RTL sites.

Is this possible @simon ? [imagem] parisa: I realized that to change the direction of text, rtl and ltr contents should be separated by two enters. Can you also support correct direction with one enter? non tech people don’t understand the difference between one and two enters.

I think it is possible, but I’m not sure how efficient it will be. I’ll give it a try. The easiest non-technical explanation for the difference between one and two enters is that two enters (a blank line) creates a new paragraph. The direction is being set at the paragraph level.

@simon , I found that there is a great performance drop in long topics containing mixed text direction. First I thought its because of rating plugin . However after further examination, I turned off this feature in our forum, and found that everything was back to normal.

We will get this sorted can you post a copy of a long post with that issue so we can have a look

Its not a long post. its a topic with thousands of posts. here
