Canvas fillText, input dir, etc.

[mapmeld]

Hi ! I really like the RTL styling guide, شكرا for creating it

Ages ago I made a page on pieces I had picked up from working with Arabic text on a few projects ( https://mapmeld.com/rtl-guide/ )

Examples which I think would be worth adding into your list are:

1. More about input dir="rtl" / dir="auto" - you have sections on form dir and dir="auto" but I didn't see a specific point about input dir="auto" accepting either-direction content in search elements etc.

2. canvas element's ctx.fillText - the x value will refer to the left edge of the text. So if you were placing RTL text by the start / right-edge coordinate, it would be

textWidth = ctx.measureText(txtString).width;
ctx.fillText(txtString, xRight - textWidth, yVal);

3. Numbered lists, such as

1. Item one
2. Item two

As a language learner, I had to see this ___ .1 format in real life to be confident that it was correct

4. Example of a currency symbol
5. Video players (i.e. playback is still left-to-right)

Thanks a lot, glad you like it.

The mentioned points are all important. The canvas thing is totally new, good to know.

I will review them and amend to the current update. Thanks again!
