Rules W2 through W7 for the Bidi Algorithm
[http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr9/] are rather confusing to read.
They are not confusing as to what to do but as to why they are done
and how to efficiently implement them. After many hours puzzling over
them I think I've found a simpler way to define t
The first discussions that lead to the current formulation of the bidi
algorithm easily go back 20 years by now. There's some value in not
re-stating a specification - even if a new formulation could be found to
be 100% equivalent. That value lies in the fact that any reader can
tell, by simpl

Some people, when confronted with a problem, think ‟I know,
I'll use regular expressions.” Now they hav
