It has been three years since I released the original version of cssrtl.py (and two since its re-release). The old version did a nice job, but experience gained during that time led me to write a new version from scratch. More than a month ago, I detailed the basic principles and ideas that guided me in designing a better tool to help adapt CSS files from left-to-right to right-to-left.
The guidelines weren’t just empty words; they were written while working on the Hebrew adaptation of the Fusion theme and at the same time writing a new proof-of-concept version of cssrtl.py.
