Hallo! This is an enhancement request about two magic words {{BEFORE}} and {{AFTER}} required for code portability. 'opening' and 'closing' paranthesis and brackets are displayed as different characters in LTR (left to right) and RTL (right to left) "context". 'left' and 'right' are absolute topics in MediaWiki (possibly also in some browsers / possibly because of some browsers). This reffers both to the rendering of MediaWiki markup language (image syntax) and (probably - to be investigated) also to browser implementation / recommandations. *required code* http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/wikipedia/phase3/includes/MagicWord.php?view=markup $magicWords = array( ... 'MAG_BEFORE', 'MAG_AFTER', ... http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/wikipedia/phase3/includes/Parser.php?view=markup case MAG_BEFORE: return (isRTL() ? 'right' : 'left'); case MAG_AFTER: return (isRTL() ? 'left' : 'right'); *reason for this request* http://www.anubite.co.uk/mediawiki/head-rtl/index.php/BEFORE_and_AFTER and http://www.anubite.co.uk/mediawiki/head/index.php/BEFORE_and_AFTER are sharing the same code. As this is a simple "translation" one would expect that the images and floating objects would change place. This is *not* the case. best regards reinhardt [[user:gangleri]]
all url's mentioned above are unavailable two alternative urls are: http://ps.wikipedia.org/wiki/user:I18n/bugzilla_005337 http://tn.wikipedia.org/wiki/user:I18n/bugzilla_005337 http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/trunk/phase3/includes/MagicWord.php?view=markup http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/trunk/phase3/includes/Parser.php?view=markup
(In reply to comment #0) > http://www.anubite.co.uk/mediawiki/head-rtl/index.php/BEFORE_and_AFTER > and > http://www.anubite.co.uk/mediawiki/head/index.php/BEFORE_and_AFTER > are sharing the same code. These are no longer available. The confusion is caused by the different handling of the concepts LEFT and RIGHT. While LEFT and RIGHT is changed by the browsers for all kind of bracket characters [[file:Brackets.svg]], LEFT and RIGHT is absolute for rendering of image / file syntax. There neither is LEFT a synonym for BEGINNING nor is RIGHT a synonym for END. Please see also the question / request at http://yi.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?oldid=243873#.D7.91.D7.99.D7.9C.D7.93.D7.A2.D7.A8 Best regards Reinhardt [[user:Gangleri]]
Dear friends, with beta software available the meaning of LEFT and RIGHT is changing depending on dierectionality (of the wiki I suppose). Examples: [[yi:user:לערי ריינהארט/בילדער]] [[de:user:לערי ריינהארט/בילדער]] As a consequence the code for the image syntax must be changed inside every page of RTL wikis. If there are no other objections this bug can be resolved. Best regards Reinhardt [[user:Gangleri]]
No other objections, so I guess this can be closed.
