I wrote a library that uses fribidi to enable using netscape for reading
rtl html pages.
It does not understand the dir tag, so you need to specify if the page
you watch is rtl or ltr.

The library is available from

I don't think netscape knows to do dir=. Explorer does, but I'm not sure
to which extent. Don't ask me why they say that they support HTML4.0 -
they also say they support CSS and PNG, and noone does, in fact (at least
noone has full support up to day) - for both of them.

bidi under linux netscape

1999-09-23 Thread Micha Feigin

I tried to use the bidirectional support specified under wc3 html
specification with communicator 4.61 for linux (dir="rtl"). It didn't do
anything. Is it a problem with the linux version, or communicator? (is it
implemented in any browser?)
