Under the html 4.1 specification at wc3 under the path
struct/dirlang.html#h-8.2
(I don't know the exact address because I downloaded a local copy).
One line stating this: (an example)
<Q lang="he" dir="rtl">...a Hebrew quotation...</Q>
hb I saw on a script sent here not long ago on fixing netscape to work
with hebrew (taking over the turkish language and transforming it to
hebrew):
#!/bin/sh
# Change this to the location of your binary:
netscape=/usr/lib/netscape/461/communicator/communicator-smotif.real
echo "Moving $netscape to ${netscape}.old..."
mv $netscape ${netscape}.old
echo "Editing the binary... (this can take a LONG time)"
sed -e 's/8859-8/8859-z/g' -e 's/88598/8859z/g' -e 's/8859_8/8859_z/g'
${netscap
e}.old | sed -e 's/8859-9/8859-8/g' -e 's/88599/88598/g' -e
's/8859_9/8859_8/g'
-e 's/Turkish/Hebrew /g' -e 's/turkish/hebrew /g' -e 's/\[tr\]/[he]/g' |
