Description:
Version
26.8 of the LibreOffice suite has been released. LibreOffice 26.8
concentrates on three areas: the typographic quality of what
the suite produces, the range of writing systems it handles correctly, and the fidelity with which documents survive exchange with other office suites. The largest single body of work in this release addresses bidirectional and
complex text. Writer now detects paragraph direction automatically when documents or plain text are opened or pasted. Line wrapping places end-of-line spaces according to the direction of the paragraph rather than that of the adjacent characters. Object resize handles behave correctly in right-to-left and
vertical CJK documents. Bidirectional control characters are now visible alongside other formatting marks. In Calc, typing right-to-left text into an empty cell sets the direction of that cell automatically. See the release notes for a full list of changes.
