| <ul> |
| <li><em>OS Default</em> - default flow of GUI elements as determined by the operating system</li> |

| presented in English or any Latin script based language.</li> |
| <li><em>Right to left</em> - flow of GUI elements is from right to left. This is a standard appearance for GUIs |
| presented in Arabic or Hebrew languages.</li> |
| </ul> |
| <h2>Enable bidirectional support</h2> |
| <p>If this option is unchecked (default value), Eclipse doesn't modify the display of bidirectional text and provides |
| the default operating system behavior.</p> |
| <p>If bidirectional support is enabled (checked):</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Eclipse will assure proper display of structured text such as file paths, URLs, etc.</li> |
| <li>In addition, you can choose the preferred text direction for unstructured text: |
| <ul> |
| <li><em>Contextual</em> - text direction depends on the given text</li> |
| <li><em>Left to right</em> - left to right text direction</li> |
| <li><em>Right to left</em> - right to left text direction</li> |
| <li><em>OS Default</em> - default text direction provided by the operating system</li> |
| </ul> |
