Hello everyone. First of all, excuse me: I promised I won’t ask more questions, but this will be my last one.
I can’t find, in the Documentation, any reference to do direction (ltr, rtl) and writing mode (horizontal/vertical), in text styling.
Is this possible at all?
Regards
There is a way to orient a Text expression. Look at the documentation for Text, specifically the optional fourth argument for orientation.
But I suspect that this is not what you’re asking about. If you’re asking about localizing a notebook (or even just a string) to use a language that reads right to left, then I don’t know how to do that. I played around a bit with the unicode right-to-left marker, and it doesn’t seem to have any effect.
If this is indeed not supported, then that’s very disappointing. It might be worth asking customer support. I’d love to get an update if you discover anything.
Thanks for your help. Indeed, I was looking for both. Yes, I found that setting for text orientation, but I forgot to update the topic.
I’m also looking for:
Overline, Strikethrough, Kerning, Word spacing and Letter spacing
Thanks again for your help =) Regards
Some of those can be handled with FontVariations. Letter spacing can be handled with FontTracking. You might want to look into Stylesheets. I don’t really have depth of knowledge in this stuff, so hopefully someone else will chime in.
Wow, looking at those right now, thanks so much for reporting!!!
Regards =)
