I can submitt a .tiff file only.

1) marging / padding problem: The image which is the background of the first link should not be overwritten by the text of the link;
2) interestingly the whole portlet gets a *green* borther; this should be the color of the leftmos link only while the rightmost should be red;

[lɛʁi לערי ריינהארט]

Dear friends,

I have very limited knowledge about css.

I would like to know if there are some routines which are

a) able to detect the directionality of the *parent block*;
b) able to the directionality of the the *previous* character in a character stream;
c) able to detect the directionality of the the *next* character in a character stream;

Thanks for any help in advance!

Best regards Reinhardt [[user:gangleri]]

Mass-assigning the new rtl keyword to RTL-related (see bug 349193).
