''Note: When I use the term "visual position", I do not mean a "geometrical position", expressed in terms of coordinates on the screen. Rather, I'm referring to a position within the stream of text as it is rendered, i.e. between two characters which, according to the rules of the bidi layout algorithm, end up being displayed next to each other.'' | |||
