PDF export extension has problem with <sub>&<small>&<sup> in RTL wikis
If solving this problem is difficult is it possible to disable this functions in RTL wikis?

Comment 1 Brion Vibber 2011-11-09 16:09:18 UTC
To clarify -- is the problem you're reporting that C<sub>50</sub>H<sub>70</sub>  visually appears as <sub>70</sub>H<sub>50</sub>C in the PDF?

Comment 4 Volker Haas 2011-12-12 09:48:24 UTC
This bug is part of a more general problem with right-to-left text:

The pdf framework we are using (reportlab) breaks a paragraph with "inline styles" like <sub>, <sup>, <big>, ... into fragments for further processing.
The bidi algorithm is then applied to the individual text fragments.

I don't really know how to fix this problem...
Comment 5 abi 2011-12-12 10:25:25 UTC

also please tell me which part of The pdf framework (python file) works with "inline styles". i will ask form some of my friend who works in rtl text rendering
Comment 6 Volker Haas 2012-02-29 13:16:28 UTC
So the situation is the following:

Directionality for styled left-to-right text in right-to-left Wikis is currently broken.

In order to fix the directionality I would need to disable styling altogether and all fontswitching. 

-> It doesn't seem sensible for me to break two features in order to fix another feature a little bit.

I am really sorry, but I doesn't seem to make sense to further try improving the PDF output for right-to-left wikis with the current rendering engine.
