[jsword-devel] Rendering of Hebrew

[DM Smith]

I am working on fixing the BHS text ordering bug listed in bugs.txt.

Currently Hebrew bibles order the characters in a verse from right to 
left which is correct. The verses are ordered from left to right with 
the verse number on the left of the verse, both of which are wrong.

According to HTML 4.0 (http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/dirlang.html) 
there is an inheritable block level attribute dir="rtl|ltr" which 
controls this. I have tested this at by adding it to the html element.
When I view it in an external browser the verses do display in the 
correct order. However, the JTextArea displays them without regard to 
the element's value.

I will be doing some more looking to see what Java can do.
