Allow 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.)

Actually I should have used a span tag instead of div:
<p dir="rtl">ابراهیم <span dir="ltr">C++</span> را دوست دارد.</p>

I'd be happy to see this one implemented. TIA!

Temporary fix for persian users which converts the whole wiki paragraph to RTL (once detects persian/arabic content):
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
$.each($(".wiki, .wiki-edit"), function(i,v){
var txt = $(v).text();
for(ci in txt) {
if (txt.charCodeAt(ci) > 0x600 && txt.charCodeAt(ci) < 0x700) {
$(v).css("direction", "rtl");
break;
}
}
});
$.each($(".issue .subject a"), function(i,v){
var txt = $(v).text();
console.log(txt);
for(ci in txt) {
if (txt.charCodeAt(ci) > 0x600 && txt.charCodeAt(ci) < 0x700) {
$(v).parent().css("direction", "rtl");
$(v).parent().css("text-align", "right");
break;
}
}
});
});
</script>
Append the code above to the main layout file (app/views/layouts/base.html.erb) or any other javascript file which is included in all pages.

2 builtin css classes (rtl and ltr) are added in r13951.
You can use them with textile formatting by using parenthesis, here on a paragraph and a span:
p(rtl). ابراهیم %(ltr)C++% را دوست دارد.

This fix is broken.
My environment: Redmine 3.4.2, Google Chrome 63
Take this example:
Textile:
p(rtl). این یک test است
Generated html:
<p class="wiki-class-rtl">این یک test است</p>
First of all there is no such class as "wiki-class-rtl" in application.css.
Second, "unicode-bidi:bidi-override" makes the LTR parts of an RTL paragraph printed in reverse. e.g. 'tset' instead of 'test'. Simply having direction:rtl would make everything work just fine.
