You know, it is quite ironic that, having heard about a major Free Software project which now fully supports bidirectional scripts including Hebrew, the first thing people here ask is how to disable that feature. Not whether it works, not if it's any good, not how well it supports this or that aspect of bidirectional editing -- but how to turn it off. A sobering experience, I must say. I sincerely hope that from now on people here will speak much more about bidi on emacs-de...@gnu.org, reporting bugs, asking for features, contributing code, etc. This cannot be one-man's war like it was until now -- that is, if we want Hebrew support in Emacs to be not just good, but exceptional. Enjoy Emacs 24. _______________________________________________ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
