|
|---|
| 51 | <p> The QHebrewCodec class provides conversion to and from
|
|---|
| 52 | visually ordered Hebrew.
|
|---|
| 53 | <p> Hebrew as a semitic language is written from right to left.
|
|---|
| 54 | Because older computer systems couldn't handle reordering a string
|
|---|
| 55 | so that the first letter appears on the right, many older
|
|---|
| 56 | documents were encoded in visual order, so that the first letter
|
|---|
| 57 | of a line is the rightmost one in the string.
|
|---|
| 58 | <p> In contrast to this, Unicode defines characters to be in logical
|
|---|
| 59 | order (the order you would read the string). This codec tries to
|
|---|
| 60 | convert visually ordered Hebrew (8859-8) to Unicode. This might
|
|---|
| 61 | not always work perfectly, because reversing the <em>bidi</em>
|
|---|
| 62 | (bi-directional) algorithm that transforms from logical to visual
|
|---|
| 63 | order is non-trivial.
|
|---|
| 64 | <p> Transformation from Unicode to visual Hebrew (8859-8) is done
|
|---|
| 65 | using the bidi algorithm in Qt, and will produce correct results,
|
|---|
| 66 | so long as the codec is given the text a whole paragraph at a
|
|---|
| 67 | time. Places where newlines are supposed to go can be indicated by
|
|---|
| 68 | a newline character ('\n'). Note that these newline characters
|
|---|
| 69 | change the reordering behaviour of the algorithm, since the bidi
|
|---|
| 70 | reordering only takes place within one line of text, whereas
|
|---|
| 71 | line breaks are determined in visual order.
|
|---|
| 72 | <p> Visually ordered Hebrew is still used quite often in some places,
|
|---|
| 73 | mainly in email communication (since most email programs still
|
|---|
| 74 | don't understand logically ordered Hebrew) and on web pages. The
|
|---|
| 75 | use on web pages is rapidly decreasing, due to the availability of
|
|---|
| 76 | browsers that correctly support logically ordered Hebrew.
|
|---|
| 77 | <p> This codec has the name "iso8859-8". If you don't want any bidi
|
|---|
| 78 | reordering to happen during conversion, use the "iso8859-8-i"
|
|---|
| 79 | codec, which assumes logical order for the 8-bit string.
|
|---|

|
|---|
| 85 | Transforms the logically ordered <a href="qstring.html">QString</a>, <em>uc</em>, into a visually
|
|---|
| 86 | ordered string in the 8859-8 encoding. Qt's bidi algorithm is used
|
|---|
| 87 | to perform this task. Note that newline characters affect the
|
|---|
| 88 | reordering, since reordering is done on a line by line basis.
|
|---|
| 89 | <p> The algorithm is designed to work on whole paragraphs of text, so
|
|---|
| 90 | processing a line at a time may produce incorrect results. This
|
|---|
| 91 | approach is taken because the reordering of the contents of a
|
|---|
| 92 | particular line in a paragraph may depend on the previous line in
|
|---|
| 93 | the same paragraph.
|
|---|
| 94 | <p> Some encodings (for example Japanese or UTF-8) are multibyte (so
|
|---|
| 95 | one input character is mapped to two output characters). The <em>lenInOut</em> argument specifies the number of QChars that should be
|
|---|
| 96 | converted and is set to the number of characters returned.
