You can add a "direction" wikistyle in config.php:
$WikiStyleCSS[] = "direction";
Then, in a wiki page, use it like this:
>>direction=rtl<<
(text right to left)
>><<
or
%p direction=rtl% (A paragraph)
Normal text %direction=rtl% (right to left) %% normal text
It is even possible to define %rtl% and %ltr% wikistyles:
$WikiStyleCSS[] = "direction";
$WikiStyle['rtl'] = array('direction' => 'rtl');
$WikiStyle['ltr'] = array('direction' => 'ltr');
Then use in a wiki page
%p rtl% or >>rtl<< or %rtl%...%%
I wouldn't know how to test this (I don't read rtl languages) but if you
confirm it works, we can add this to the core.
