The ISO-8859 standard includes the ISO-8859-8 character set, which is a standard Hebrew character set. However, in HTML, the iso-8859-8 "charset" is considered to mark a page as with visually ordered Hebrew, and not with implicit, right-to-left, directionality. W3C is aware of this, and also recommends to use the iso-8859-i encoding in implicit Hebrew pages on the HTML 4 specification at http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/struct/dirlang.html#bidi88598. However, the HTML Validator does not recognize the iso-8859-8-i character set. So, the Validator should be fixed to support the iso-8859-i character set, which is IDENTICAL to iso-8859-8 in the character map.Received on Monday, 19 March 2001 01:47:11 GMT
