[Typo3-dev] Adding bidi info to html tag: config.bidi

Sun Apr 11 04:30:37 CEST 2004

Hi!

A user on the English list tried to display Hebrew and Arabic with 
Typo3. But he experienced problems with the direction of the output.

Adding the "dir" attribute to the body is one step, but doesn't affect 
the direction of the header. So I propose a new config option:

config.bid = LTR | RTL (default to LTR)

It seems all we need is a sall change in 
TSpagegen::renderContentWithHeader().

Current code:

$GLOBALS['TSFE']->content.='
<html>
<head>
...

New code:

$htmlParam = '';
if ($GLOBALS['TSFE']->config['config']['bidi']) {
   $htmlParam .= ' rtl="'.$GLOBALS['TSFE']->config['config']['bidi'].'"';
}
$GLOBALS['TSFE']->content.='
<html '.$htmlParam.'
<head>
...

Perhaps a htmlspecialchars() would be approriate, but metaCharset sets 
an example...
