Mozilla and right-to-left characters in source

by Andreas Prilop <nhtcapri@[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Jan 9, 2006 at 06:04 PM

Mozilla is really good (as opposed to IE) in displaying pages
with mixed left-to-right and right-to-left (bidirectional)
content. However, the display of the *source* can become
somewhat messy. Here's an example:

Look at the source in Mozilla!

I read at  http://www.unicode.org/re****ts/tr9/#HL4
| The bidi algorithm *can* be applied independently
| to one or more segments of structured text.

Mozilla doesn't do this. But note the word "can" - the bidi
algorithm does not require to break down HTML source text
("structured text") with bidirectional content.

How should we regard the messy source text display:
Bug? Inconvenience? Feature?

Why should I switch?         Peter T. Daniels in <news:sci.lang>
