How can I chnage the OE text orientation to display right-to-left text for Hebrew and Arabic Languages?

Any hint will be appreciated.

I could not figure it out. When the OE is disabled text inherts

 

html {direction: rtl;}

and it is aligned right-to-left. But when OE is enabled, text is aligned left-to-right

Any more ideas?

Ho OOzy

With a latin font the only difference between direction rtl and ltr is the alignment of the text. If that is the case for hewbrew and arabic languages as well, your setting for the direction might have been overwritten with a text-align:left statement somewhere in the editor. Try to add a text-align:right !important to your stylesheet, maybe that helps.

Hiya Claudia

Thank you so, you put me in the right track. I did add

text-align: right !important

to my editor.css body tag as follows:

body
{
	font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
	font-size: 0.8em;
	text-align:right !important
}

The text aligned right-to-light nicely but my coursers were reversed so I added direction:rtl !important and removed the text-align tag and eveything was perfect text and coursers were perfectly right-aligned.

body
{
	font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
	font-size: 0.8em;
	direction:rtl !important
}
