Variables

	// Face is a font.Face of the bitmap font (12px regular).

Functions

func PresentationForms

func PresentationForms(input string, defaultDirection Direction, lang language.Tag) string

PresentationForms returns runes as presentation forms in order to render it easily.

PresentationForms mainly converts RTL texts into LTR glyphs for presentation. The result can be passed to e.g., golang.org/x/image.Drawer's DrawString. PresentationForms should work with texts whose directions are mixed with Unicode Bidi algorithm [1].

lang represents a language that is a hint to compose the representation forms. lang is not used in the implementation yet, but might be used in the future.
