Content Navigator known issue: IBM Content Navigator supports some bidirectional text features

Product Documentation


Abstract

The support for bidirectional text varies depending on the version of IBM Content Navigator that you are running.

Content

Refer to the section for the version of IBM Content Navigator that you are running:

IBM Content Navigator 2.0.2
IBM Content Navigator supports basic right-to-left and left-to-right language content, but does not support more complicated bidirectional text. For example, IBM Content Navigator does not support bidirectional text that includes a concatenation of strings such as mixed punctuation, English text with Hebrew or Arabic text, or special characters such as brackets or parentheses.

For example, if you enter parentheses in a field with any bidirectional characters, the ordering is displayed incorrectly.

IBM Content Navigator 2.0.3
IBM Content Navigator includes complete support for bidirectional text. In addition, the web client includes the following calendars, in addition to the default Gregorian (Western) calendar:

  • Hijri
  • Umm al-Qura
  • Hebrew

However, the viewers that are provided with IBM Content Navigator do not provide full support for bidirectional text. For example, you cannot add bidirectional annotations to documents.
