RTL Support

[mobinseven]

This theme is the most complete one in documentation themes. The only feature that is missing is RTL languages (Arabic, Hebrew, Persian, etc.) support.

I am ready to help and open to suggestion to do this.

That would be nice! Maybe best to first come up with an inventory of what this means + how to accomplish this.

Resources /input:

• RTL - Bootstrap v5.0
• Configure Languages - Hugo
• Right-To-Left Support - FlexSearch

I might add this link as well: https://rtlstyling.com/posts/rtl-styling
It is at Bootstrap resources page.

I will try to keep an eye on this (and help within my skills :)), because as @mobinseven said, this feature would make the package much more complete.

you can see how it was done in this hugo project

@h-enk I'm highly motivated to assist with the RTL work if I can be helpful. I would like to use this for my site, and I'm willing to invest some significant time and effort into it. Could you give me some guidance? E.g. I see you have an experimental PR; do you have a punchlist of things that need fixing? It looks like that changes in there are extremely minor - is it simply sufficient to surface what I imagine are a ton of issues?

I would add that while I wouldn't call myself completely fluent... I'm quite familiar with Arabic. I live in Baghdad 1/2 my time, and speak and read it (I have a strong working knowledge of the language and the expectations of Arabic / other RTL language users).

@StevenEWright That would be super! I think Doks 1.0 should be used as the starting point - it will be released soon.

I'll get back to you in a week (I'm on the road).

Looking forward to working with you on this ☺️
