How to Make Hebrew Web Pages

  1. Type your Hebrew text, left-to-right, using an ISO-8859-8 font.

  2. Make sure your lines of Hebrew text are short enough that they will not wrap to a new line.

  3. To right-align a section of text, enclose it within a table like this:

    <TABLE width="100%" lang="he"><TR><TD align=right>
<BR> Hebrew text goes here, back to front (left-to-right)
<BR> Next line continues on.
<BR> End of Hebrew text.
</TR></TABLE>

  4. Hebrew characters should be in binary form - avoid HTML numeric codes like &230;

  5. Put the following two lines at the top of the <HEAD> section of your HTML document:

    <META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-8">
    <META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Language" CONTENT="he">

  6. Select ISO-8859-8 fonts in your web browser.
