Bidirectional documents contain text in both directions, usually involving characters from
unique types of alphabets.
If bidirectional text (such as Arabic or Hebrew languages), certain Asian languages (such as
Devanagari, Bengali, Gurmukhi, Gujarati, Oriya, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Sinhala,
Thai, Khmer), or other special characters (such as combining characters) are detected in a
document, Oxygen XML Editor displays a Special Characters Detected
dialog box that prompts you to Enable or Disable
support for these special characters.
You can also configure this support in the Support for Special
Characters section of the Open/Save preferences page.
To enable or disable this support, open the
Preferences dialog box and go to .Note: Disabling this support may affect text rendering,
cursor positioning and navigation, as well as text selection and management operations. If
you need to open
very large documents, the bidirectional editing support can also be
disabled to enhance performance while editing.
Restriction: Bidirectional
content in the Text mode cannot be rendered using
Bold or Italic.
