Clint Cozier Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 I had this great idea to do study notes in plain text (nvALT using markdown). The idea of platform and program agnostic notes sounds so great! The problem now is mixing Hebrew (R to L) with L to R like Engish or Greek. Any time I switch my keyboard to Hebrew, the paragraph (line?) becomes R to L for everything and I can't switch it back. So my question: is anyone doing Markdown (or any plain text formatting tags) using Hebrew and what have you discovered about the R to L orientation?

Joe Weaks Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Yes, and some text editors mix better than others for sure, but I always just keep R2L and L2R text on their own lines to avoid any problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clint Cozier Posted March 16, 2014 Author Share Posted March 16, 2014 Joe, In your experience, which editors handle r2l the best? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Weaks Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 I pretty much only use TextEdit, BBEdit/TextWrangler, and TextMate. Alternating between Hebrew and English on a single line works flawlessly in them all. I just tested and can't see any problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Buck Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 A +1 for BBedit/TextWrangler. I use it almost every day and never have an issue with r2l. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
