I'm trying to design a website for my friend in Hebrew. I coded up the HTML and now I'm trying to cut and paste in the text from an .rtf document she gave me, but the text flips direction or does other weird things because the text is read right to left. I've tried doing it in notepad, notepad++, and dreamweaver (which surprisingly has worked the best so far, but is still a headache). I've even tried saving the .rtf files as .html files and importing them into the p tags using php, in which case the characters come out funny. I really know nothing about charsets, but I think that might have something to do with it. Once the text is in the document it seems to be fine (I've managed to get some to read right so far). I read tutorials on html and hebrew, where they talk about dir and charset attributes, but right now I'm just trying to get the text into the html editor correctly. I've been trying to figure this out for hours now. If anyone does any coding and has this same problem please let me know if you've found a practical solution to it!

Thanks in advance!
