[FriBidi] Line Reverse

[Kueffen Heiko]

Dear Tom,

Thank you, indeed this looks helpful. I think the flexibility given by this API is great.

Anyway I think it would be useful to get one function for text in -> text out like the log2vis which correctly handles line breaks and maybe could obey paragraph marks (U+00B6). I'm not familiar with Arabic but I think it should work for Hebrew.

Regards
Heiko

Dear Kueffen,

You need to split to lines before you reorder. See Behdad's post on "FriBiDi's rendering pipeline", it's very useful:
