Description:
bidiv is a tiny but useful unitility for viewing logical-Hebrew text from within an 8-bit terminal. It is an easy-to-use front-end of fribidi library.
An excerpt of its man page reads:
bidiv is a filter, or viewer, for birectional text stored in logical-
order, into visual-order 8-bit text which can be viewed on terminals
that do not handle bidirectionality. The output visual-order text is
formatted assuming a fixed number of characters per line (automatically
determined or given with the -w parameter).
The current version is oriented towards Hebrew, and therefore reads
ISO-8859-8-i (logical) encoded text and outputs ISO-8859-8 (visual)
encoded text. However, bidiv can be easily adapted to other encodings
and right-to-left languages.
I am trying to make Fedora more useful for Hebrew speakers. Adding bidiv to Fedora Extras is one more step in that direction.
