The IlvShaping Attribute

This Boolean attribute determines whether characters should be shaped before they are displayed. This attribute is relevant only if characters can have different shapes according to their position in a word. This is the case of Arabic, Farsi, and Urdu. Hebrew is not considered a contextual language.

Possible Values

This attribute can have one of the following values:

  • IlvShapingOff - Shaping is not performed.

  • IlvShapingOn - Shaping is performed.

Limitation

In Views Bidi for Windows, this attribute is not supported; only the value IlvShapingOn is.
