Text, layout, and calligraphy on the Arabic Web
LibrePlanet 2017

In this workshop, you will learn principles of internationalization to support Arabic and other right-to-left languages. The focus will be on practical examples where you can adapt CSS and JavaScript to support both languages. Some of the real examples will include: the OpenStreetMap iD editor, right-to-left text in the HTML5 Canvas, a calligraphy editor, and use of the zero-width-join character to stylize Arabic text.
