arabic_reshape() is not working as it should about arabic-reshaper-rs HOT 4 CLOSED

Hello,

This library only does the reshaping (as in render the correct ligature) , but it doesn't reverse the letters.

Reversing the letters is done via http://unicode.org/reports/tr9/

For simple cases, you can do .rev() the problem with your attempt is that you reversed the letters before reshaping.

The correct way to do this would be
println!("{}", arabic_reshaper::arabic_reshape(&*"حسين").chars().rev().collect::<String>()); (the ) position has changed)

Also checkout https://github.com/NightMachinary/rtl_reshaper_rs/blob/master/src/main.rs for an example of such usage.

I can see that the README example is misleading, I'll update it.

thanks, it worked, I'm going to close this issue now
you should include the reversing in the example in the md page
also is there a reason you can't return the text reversed

Reshaping and reversing the letters are different problems, this crate solve the first one, crates like unic_bidi solves the second problem. Mixing the 2 crates is very straightforward though.

I see your point that examples are missing, I'll adress that issue when I can.
