|
|
|

|
|

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

|
||
|
|
</h3>
|
||
|
|
Transforms the logically ordered <a href="qstring.html">QString</a>, <em>uc</em>, into a visually
|
||
|
|
ordered string in the 8859-8 encoding. Qt's bidi algorithm is used
|
||
|
|
to perform this task. Note that newline characters affect the
|
||
|
|
reordering, since reordering is done on a line by line basis.
|
||
|
|
<p> The algorithm is designed to work on whole paragraphs of text, so
|
||
|
|
processing a line at a time may produce incorrect results. This
|
||
|
|
approach is taken because the reordering of the contents of a
|
||
|
|
particular line in a paragraph may depend on the previous line in
|
||
|
|
the same paragraph.
|
||
|
|
<p> Some encodings (for example Japanese or UTF-8) are multibyte (so
|
||
|
|
one input character is mapped to two output characters). The <em>lenInOut</em> argument specifies the number of QChars that should be
|
||
|
|
converted and is set to the number of characters returned.
