NAME

6       fribidi.pl - Convert logical text to visual, via the unicode bidi
7       algorithm
8

VERSION

10       version 2.18
11

SYNOPSIS

13           # display bidi text given in logical order in foo.txt
14           fribidi.pl foo.txt
15           # same, but force Right-To-Left paragraph direction
16           fribidi.pl --rtl foo.txt
17           # same, but break lines on spaces
18           fribidi.pl --rtl --break -- foo.txt
19

DESCRIPTION

21       This script is similar to the fribidi(1) program provided with
22       libfribidi, and performs a subset of its functions. The main point is
23       to test Text::Bidi and provide a usage example.
24

OPTIONS

26       --(no)ltr
27           Force all paragraph directions to be Left-To-Right. The default is
28           to deduce the paragraph direction via the bidi algorithm.
29
30       --(no)rtl
31           Force all paragraph directions to be Right-To-Left. The default is
32           to deduce the paragraph direction via the bidi algorithm.
33
34       --width=n
35           Set the width of the output lines to n. The default is to use the
36           terminal width, or 80 if that cannot be deduced.
37
38       --break[=s]
39           Break the line at the string s. If this is given, the width
40           functions as an upper bound for the line length, and the line might
41           be shorter. The default value for s is ' ', but note that anything
42           following the option will be interpreted as the argument, unless it
43           is of the form "--...".
44
45       --levels
46           Also output the embedding levels of the characters. Mostly for
47           debugging.
48
49       --help,-?
50           Give a short usage message and exit with status 1
51
52       --version
53           Print a line with the program name and exit with status 0
54

ARGUMENTS

56       Any argument is interpreted as a file name, and the content of all the
57       files, as well as the standard input are concatenated together.
