@devmondo "you know when you have a new born, life gets up side down :)" - This is exactly why I'm not on here as much as I used to be. 👍

thanks a lot man, Hebrew and Arabic share the many concepts right to left and are descendant from one language, hope this will be fixed as i am yet to find a solution that doe, it would be amazing if we can use this awesome library.

I tried pasting some RTL text into a view and it was just stripped out.

Document and writer are exposed, you should be able to set rundirection yourself. Give it a shot..

thanks a lot for the link, but this has problem that if you have English words mixed with Arabic or Hebrew, things will be messed up. you can try it yourself.
