Add controls for RTL/LTR/Auto

[alirezaalavi87]

Hi,

I think it would be great to add more control, like obsidian rtl does.
It helps for gaining more control over your text, if you want to for example force RTL or LTR in a certain page or document.

You might don't want to implement this feature now, but you can put it in the roadmap.

Thank you

I can think of one implementation as such:

• The default behavior is as is unless a block (including a page) has a metadata like direction: rtl/ltr. In such cases, the whole block gets explicit direction and the bidi functionality won't get applied in that block and its child blocks.

How does it sound?

I think almost copying what obsidian-rtl does would do the job.
but I think we need to also have a block direction like you mentioned.

• per-page direction
• per-block direction

how to do this?

I'm not so sure, I'm at the middle of my exams and didn't have the time to read and understand how obsidian-rtl does it, but I understand the entrypoint is this function

I might do it and create a PR after my exams.
