40/* fribidi_get_par_direction - get base paragraph direction
41 *
42 * This function finds the base direction of a single paragraph,
43 * as defined by rule P2 of the Unicode Bidirectional Algorithm available at
44 * http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr9/#P2.
45 *
46 * You typically do not need this function as
47 * fribidi_get_par_embedding_levels() knows how to compute base direction
48 * itself, but you may need this to implement a more sophisticated paragraph
49 * direction handling. Note that you can pass more than a paragraph to this
50 * function and the direction of the first non-neutral paragraph is returned,
51 * which is a very good heuristic to set direction of the neutral paragraphs
52 * at the beginning of text. For other neutral paragraphs, you better use the
53 * direction of the previous paragraph.
54 *
55 * Returns: Base pargraph direction. No weak paragraph direction is returned,
56 * only LTR, RTL, or ON.

65 *
66 * This function finds the bidi embedding levels of a single paragraph,
67 * as defined by the Unicode Bidirectional Algorithm available at
68 * http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr9/. This function implements rules P2 to
69 * I1 inclusive, and parts 1 to 3 of L1, except for rule X9 which is
70 * implemented in fribidi_remove_bidi_marks(). Part 4 of L1 is implemented
71 * in fribidi_reorder_line().

91/* fribidi_reorder_line - reorder a line of logical string to visual
92 *
93 * This function reorders the characters in a line of text from logical to
94 * final visual order. This function implements part 4 of rule L1, and rules
95 * L2 and L3 of the Unicode Bidirectional Algorithm available at
96 * http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr9/#Reordering_Resolved_Levels.
97 *
98 * As a side effect it also sets position maps if not NULL.
99 *
100 * You should provide the resolved paragraph direction and embedding levels as
101 * set by fribidi_get_par_embedding_levels(). Also note that the embedding
102 * levels may change a bit. To be exact, the embedding level of any sequence
103 * of white space at the end of line is reset to the paragraph embedding level
104 * (That is part 4 of rule L1).
105 *
106 * Note that the bidi types and embedding levels are not reordered. You can
107 * reorder these (or any other) arrays using the map later. The user is
108 * responsible to initialize map to something sensible, like an identity
109 * mapping, or pass NULL if no map is needed.
110 *
111 * There is an optional part to this function, which is whether non-spacing
112 * marks for right-to-left parts of the text should be reordered to come after
113 * their base characters in the visual string or not. Most rendering engines
114 * expect this behavior, but console-based systems for example do not like it.
115 * This is controlled by the FRIBIDI_FLAG_REORDER_NSM flag. The flag is on
116 * in FRIBIDI_FLAGS_DEFAULT.
117 *
118 * Returns: Maximum level found in this line plus one, or zero if any error
119 * occurred (memory allocation failure most probably).
