Note the following rules: /* for rtl wikis */ .rtl #bodyContent a.external { background-position: left; padding-right: 0; } .rtl a.feedlink { background-position: right; padding-right: 16px; padding-left: 0; } /* correction for ltr wikis */ .ltr #bodyContent a.external { padding-left: 0; } This way only one rule is needed for each icon type, not one for LTR and one for RTL. Notice that the icon widths are different for each type, so this is the most economical way to do it. Your site is probably missing the .ltr/.rtl class on the body. In trunk we've switched to using a script that just swaps left and right everywhere for RTL, so the rule is instead #bodyContent a.external[href ^="ftp://"], .link-ftp { /* @embed */ background: url(file_icon.gif) center right no-repeat; padding-right: 18px; } with the directions presumably flipped somehow. (By the resource loader, I'm guessing? That will cause even more trouble for static dumps, I guess.)

The idea is that you shouldn't have to run PHP to get a working static (possibly partial) copy of a wiki's content. Before ResourceLoader the CSS and JS was a nonissue, since that was just static files, but that's no longer the case. Whatever script generates static dumps is presumably just creating them with no working CSS at all anymore, which is bad. I don't think this should be too hard to fix, though, if someone cares enough to do it. Whatever script makes static dumps should just get ResourceLoader to output one CSS file that contains everything that could be needed, probably with no JS (unless there's some JS static dumps will actually want that I can't think of), and include that statically.

I guess you could take a concatenated version of all style sheets and generate an RTL version of that. What do the current static dumps do? Roan Kattouw (Catrope)
