Bi-directional text editing

Bi-directional text editing:

Today someone asked me if Web Translate It support bidi scripts.

What are bidi scripts?

Bi-directionnal scripts is text containing text in both directionalities, that is to say both right-to-left (RTL) and left-to-right (LTR). This is fairly frequent, for example Arab text containing English…

This is awesome. Do you know what happen when you mix left-to-right text with right-to-left text? Modern web-browsers do the right thing and let you type left-to-right.

Selecting text does the right thing, too. Starting the selection from the right to the left, the selection switch from the left to the right when you hover the English text (whereas your mouse is still moving to the left, right?).

Right?

A clip from the 2009 documentary “Objectified” which is all about industrial design. Here, we see the wonderfully creative genius of Jonathan Ive, as he talks about the Mac, and specifically the Unibody design of the MacBook/MacBook Air & MacBook Pro.

“

I don’t conjecture to theorize why but I’ll state it again: When debugging IE display issues try the following on the offending element:

height: 1%; and/or a position: relative;

Works miracles. And has no effect on other browsers.

I’m celebrating the traditional post-App-Store-submission ritual, having just submitted Instapaper Pro 2.2.

So after looking at this I’m thinking maybe I should try out Instapaper after all?

You totally should, it’s great.
