I've read the page you cite above, and I'm sorry to say that I don't have a clear idea what are you asking. The Web page seems to say that one can use RLM, LRM, and the embedding marks provided by UAX#9 to force correct display of source files for XML and similar files. Is that what the paper says, or did I miss something? If I understood correctly, there's no need to implement anything in addition to the code I wrote: it includes full support for all the special characters mandated by UAX#9, and also fully supports embeddings. As for ``callbacks'', what do you need those for, and how can they solve your problem (which I probably don't understand)? _______________________________________________ emacs-bidi mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-bidi
