  W3C I18N FAQ: CSS vs. markup for bidi support
Although bidi markup is only needed for the visual rendering of a text it is not purely decorative in function.
For XML-based markup languages, bidi styling should be defined in a separate style sheet, and that style sheet included in your other style sheets or in your document.
Think about the bidi style sheet as a part of the schema information that defines the meaning of specific bidi markup, rather than as the decorative styling that can exist in various variants.

 Bidi (Java 2 Platform SE v1.4.2)
A Bidi object provides information on the bidirectional reordering of the text used to create it.
Once created, a Bidi object can be queried to see if the text it represents is all left-to-right or all right-to-left.
Create a Bidi object representing the bidi information on a line of text within the paragraph represented by the current Bidi.

 Bidi Use Among Urban Youth - health - the facts - Texas Department of Health - Worth It? - www.worthit.org
Bidi (also known as beedis or beedies) are: small brown cigarettes, often flavored, consisting of tobacco hand-rolled in tendu or temburni leaf and secured with a string at one end.
Bidi smokers have an increased risk of coronary heart disease and cancers of the mouth, pharynx and larynx, lung, esophagus, stomach and liver.
So, in the end, bidis may taste better, and may be a bit cheaper than regular cigarettes, but they can still give you all kinds cancer and put you in the ground even faster than regular cigarettes.

 Bidi Cigarettes
In fact Bidis are made in India from dried tobacco leaves which are wrapped in the Tendu Leaf and tied with a string at the end, thus giving the look of a marijuana joint.
Now that we have seen the harms Bidis cause in America, and the horrors of child labor, you might be asking yourself how it is possible that it has been almost five years since this Human Rights report and there are still children bonded in slave labor.
We have seen the harms Bidis are causing and what attempts have already been made to combat this new smoking craze, now we need to look at what we can do to put it out.

For rolling 1000 bidis each Bidi Roller was provided 575 to 700 grams of tendu leaves and 225 to 280 grams of tobacco depending on the quality of leaves and the size of bidi to be rolled.
The practice of getting bidis rolled through Contractors was in vogue in the entire State except in the case of two or three very small branded establishments where the bidis were rolled within the premises.
Furnace-man is engaged for baking the bidis in a furnace to remove the moisture and dampness.

Orissa Forest Corporation (OFC) also runs a bidi cigarettes making unit, with a daily capacity of 1 million bidi cigarettes and annual requirement of about 1,500 quintals of leaves (assuming 1 kg of leaves required to roll 2,000 bidis).
Gupta and Guleria (1982) reported average annual export of 3,681.4 tonnes of bidi leaves from 1967 to 1977, which when compared with current export figures, indicates an increasing trend in annual export volume of bidi leaves.
Their processing along with manufacture of bidi cigarettes is an important cottage industry, providing employment to thousands of people in the country.

 Bidi Use Among Urban Youth -- Massachusetts, March-April 1999
Bidis are small, brown, hand-rolled cigarettes primarily made in India and other southeast Asian countries (1) consisting of tobacco wrapped in a tendu or temburni leaf (Diospyros melanoxylon).
Anecdotal reports indicate that bidi use was first observed during the mid-1990s and seems to be widespread among youth and racial/ethnic minority adolescents.
Bidi smokers risk coronary heart disease (7), cancers of the oral cavity, pharynx, larynx (1), lung (8,9), esophagus, stomach, and liver (1).

Bidis: they may look different than regular cigarettes, but they still pack plenty of nicotine.
Bidis are also less expensive and easier for young people to get than regular cigarettes.
Although bidis are smaller and contain less tobacco than regular cigarettes, they contain a higher concentration of nicotine (21.2 mg/g) than either American Spirit cigarettes (17.6 mg/g) or regular cigarettes (16.3 mg/g).

 Documentation for BiDi Mozilla - MDC
Bidi text is reordered according to the Unicode Bidi Algorithm (UBA).
Note that we are not affected by buggy Bidi implementations on specific platforms, since the platform never sees a text fragment with mixed directionality, and is not expected to do anything more complicated than displaying left-to-right text from left to right or right-to-left text from right to left.
In some circumstances, even on a platform with Bidi capability, the layout code has to reverse text fragments or to allow for the fact that they are displayed in reverse.

 ishida >> writings: Editing requirements for XML markup and RTL scripts
In some situations the bidi algorithm is insufficient to produce the desired result.
The W3C recommends the use of dedicated markup to indicate bidi information, rather than attaching CSS rules to arbitrary elements or attributes.
Markup in the editor must also be capable of inheriting bidi behaviour expressed higher in the tag hierarchy.

Bidi is the least synthetic and the near natural.
Bidies are normally rolled by skilled workers at their homes.
When you light a bidi, you not only illuminate a poor home of the worker, but also you patronize a traditional craftsmanship in India.

 the bidi algorithm and inline markup
When the bidi algorithm encounters characters with neutral directional properties (such as spaces and punctuation) it works out how to handle them by looking at the surrounding characters.
The bidi algorithm will handle text perfectly well in most situations, and typically no special markup or other device is needed other than to set the overall direction for the document.
The Unicode bidi algorithm and the directional markers work quite well when there is only a single level of mixed text.

It also targets programmers who don't use any such language but want to support bidi (which is one reason for using English); if you are such a person be sure to read /WhatIsBidi.
In the background of all bidi support on computers looms the /MinorityFactor: there are not enough motivated hackers to ensure bidi support in all programs, unless it requires *really* minimal changes.
Another important distinction is between /ExplicitBidi encodings where the bidi information must be supplied by special codes and /ImplicitBidi encodings part of the information is inferred from the text itself.

 User:Uri/Bidi editing - MozillaWiki
When bidi support was added to Mozilla, the "hint" mechanism's role expanded to handle other cases where one logical position maps to two visual positions, as described in the previous section.
In terms of the IBM document, the hint mechanism is used to implement the concept of the "cursor bidi level".
It serves both as an input to the algorithm determining the cursor level, and as an output of the logical-to-visual mapping algorithm.

 BiDi UI
Users of languages that are written from right to left, such as Arabic, Persian and Hebrew, require special support in many applications, including those provided by the Mozilla project: the web browser and the mail & newsgroups client.
For this reason the BiDi UI project @ MozDev exists: to offer extensions which provide user interface for direction control and use of direction-related unicode features, as well the smoothing over of some kinks in underlying BiDi supp ort.
BiDi Browser UI, for the Mozilla suite and the Firefox browsers; this extension is partly obsolete (see link for details).

 UAX #9: The Bidirectional Algorithm
The Bidi_Mirrored property is defined by Section 4.7, Bidi Mirrored—Normative of [Unicode]; the property values are specified in [UCD].
When text using a higher-level protocol is to be converted to Unicode plain text, for consistent appearance formatting codes should be inserted to ensure that the order matches that of the higher-level protocol.
A comment in the file indicates where the pairs are “best fit”: they should be acceptable in rendering, although ideally the mirrored glyphs may have somewhat different shapes.

Also, the Windows specific code should be enhanced by checking whether to reverse text on the basis of the embedding level, instead of testing for the presence of Hebrew characters as at present.
This release provides some bug fixes, and update for the new (apparently undocumented?) Unicode 3.0 bi-directional categories, and the addition of the "Pretty Good BiDi Algorithm." The PGBA is an elegant and simple one-pass BiDi reordering algorithm that works pretty dang good for most text.

Where character shaping is involved, it can be somewhat more complicated (see pages 6-22 through 6-32).
