Personally, I do not like UTF-8 despite the fact that it's well supported in PHP. As I use "textarea" tags to edit the articles and I use windows, I prefer the windows-1255 encoding. It's easier that way, nothing to worry about. > Many recent CMSes are XML based and have a decent theme-engine, > so that making them work right-to-left is a matter of writing the > right theme. That's the way people handle it for Persian. You know, the only thing you have to do is dir="rtl" at the html tag :) Of course, the right theme is the most time consuming thing to do. > Yes, it's not hard, but there are many problems with inventing > the wheel.

And that poses a problem, from design point of view. I do not think that I am making it harder for the next person, quite the opposite. I am making it easier, as my CMS was written with Hebrew in mind First. Well, it's a man's choice after all :) Oleg. ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
