I assume that you are referring to the "change text direction" service, one of two services provided by the site. I am not doing visual to logical, as I do not -mityajes- (how in English?) to the encoding of the inputed string. All input is UTF-8 as per the page encoding and metatag, and all input is assumed to be UTF-8 therefore. If two Hebrew letters are next to each other, then their location in the string is reversed. Hebrew and non-rtl letters do not have their positions reversed. I'm still perfecting the algorithm, so more borderline test cases would be welcome. Thanks.

Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
