How implement rtl languages?

Or in rtl pages scope with ltr, or in ltr page rtl section?

where the rtl.css should be located? Does mdbook have any support for custom css files, something like this:

---

Update: additional-css = path/to/rtl.css in book.toml

Interested in RTL feature, anyone found a good solution?

@netlander

• Add additional-css= ["theme/rtl.css"] to the book.toml
• Create a theme folder inside the root of your book project
• add some css rules into theme/rtl.css, for example:

body { direction: rtl; }
code { direction: ltr; }

It needs to be done by a CSS expert. And better to be supported officilly! @ehuss

Does this make the nav panel move to the right?

this should be done in html and not css, read why

so better edit index.hbs.. probably

This was implemented in #1641, yet to be released 🚀

We've testing the PR for a Persian translation of Comprehensive Rust: https://google.github.io/comprehensive-rust/fa/.
