[oXygen-user] oXygen Author DITA Arabic Support

[Oxygen XML Editor Support (Radu Coravu)]

Hi Khaled,

Thanks for the samples you sent to our support email address.
You need to open each topic and map and set the attribute:

> xml:lang="ar"

on the root element to indicate you have Arabic content.
This should improve both the plain XHTML (which will use a special CSS 
designed for Arabic) and PDF outputs.

For the special WebHelp output Oxygen provides, it does not seem to use 
the proper CSS selectors for Arabic content, we'll try to fix this 
problem in a future version.

Regards,
Radu
