* the function may not perform all the steps described by the algorithm,
* i.e., some levels may not be the same as if all steps were performed.
* This is not relevant for unidirectional text.
* For example, in pure LTR text with numbers the numbers would get
* a resolved level of 2 higher than the surrounding text according to
* the algorithm. This implementation may set all resolved levels to
* the same value in such a case.
*
* The text can be composed of multiple paragraphs. Occurrence of a block
* separator in the text terminates a paragraph, and whatever comes next starts
* a new paragraph. The exception to this rule is when a Carriage Return (CR)
* is followed by a Line Feed (LF). Both CR and LF are block separators, but
* in that case, the pair of characters is considered as terminating the
* preceding paragraph, and a new paragraph will be started by a character
* coming after the LF.
*
* @param pBiDi A UBiDi object allocated with ubidi_open()
* which will be set to contain the reordering information,
* especially the resolved levels for all the characters in text.
*
* @param text is a pointer to the text that the BiDi algorithm will be performed on.
* This pointer is stored in the UBiDi object and can be retrieved
* with ubidi_getText().
* Note: the text must be (at least) length long.
*
* @param length is the length of the text; if length==-1 then
* the text must be zero-terminated.
*
* @param paraLevel specifies the default level for the text;
* it is typically 0 (LTR) or 1 (RTL).
* If the function shall determine the paragraph level from the text,
* then paraLevel can be set to
* either #UBIDI_DEFAULT_LTR
* or #UBIDI_DEFAULT_RTL; if the text contains multiple
* paragraphs, the paragraph level shall be determined separately for
* each paragraph; if a paragraph does not include any strongly typed
* character, then the desired default is used (0 for LTR or 1 for RTL).
* Any other value between 0 and #UBIDI_MAX_EXPLICIT_LEVEL
* is also valid, with odd levels indicating RTL.
*
* @param embeddingLevels (in) may be used to preset the embedding and override levels,
* ignoring characters like LRE and PDF in the text.
* A level overrides the directional property of its corresponding
* (same index) character if the level has the
* #UBIDI_LEVEL_OVERRIDE bit set.
* Except for that bit, it must be
* paraLevel<=embeddingLevels[]<=UBIDI_MAX_EXPLICIT_LEVEL,
* with one exception: a level of zero may be specified for a paragraph
* separator even if paraLevel>0 when multiple paragraphs
* are submitted in the same call to ubidi_setPara().
* Caution: A copy of this pointer, not of the levels,
* will be stored in the UBiDi object;
* the embeddingLevels array must not be
* deallocated before the UBiDi structure is destroyed or reused,
* and the embeddingLevels
* should not be modified to avoid unexpected results on subsequent BiDi operations.
* However, the ubidi_setPara() and
* ubidi_setLine() functions may modify some or all of the levels.
* After the UBiDi object is reused or destroyed, the caller
* must take care of the deallocation of the embeddingLevels array.
* Note: the embeddingLevels array must be
* at least length long.
*
* @param pErrorCode must be a valid pointer to an error code value.
