DESCRIPTION

r2l is a a simple command-line interface to the r2llib library. The r2llib library controls the way biditext "reverses" text. r2l is an interface that is mainly intended for use by scripts. For interactive use, it is suggested that you use one of the r2l* programs (r2lterminal, r2ldockapp, r2lgnomeapplet, r2ltcl)

r2l p: Prints the current status.
enabled: Prints "enabled" or "disabled", to indicate if biditext will be doing reversing (enabled) or not.
base: Prints the base directionality: "ltr", "rtl" or "neutral".
token: The flag file. Normall this would be $HOME/.rev
state: Both enabled
and base
all: All the first three ( enabled , base and token )

If none of those was given, all
is assumed.

r2l s: Set the enabled/disabled State.
enable: Enabled biditext "reversing"
disable: Disables biditext "reversing". Strings will be printed to the screen untouched.
toggle: Toggles state (enables if diabled, and disables if enabled).

If none of those was given, toggle
is assumed.

r2l b: Set the Base-directionality state.
ltr: Base directionality is LTR (assiming LTR (e.g. English) context). rtl Base directionality is RTL (assiming RTL (e.g. Hebrew) context).
neutral: Base directionality is NEUTRAL (don't assume context).

If none of those was given, neutral
is assumed.
