Dhivehi Writer
Write Dhivehi (Thaana) inside an otherwise English/LTR WordPress site — with proper right‑to‑left layout and a bundled Thaana web font, so Dhivehi renders on every visitor's device (not just machines that happen to have a Thaana font installed).
Works in both the Block Editor (Gutenberg) and the Classic Editor (TinyMCE).
Features
- Dhivehi Section block (Gutenberg) — an RTL container for paragraphs, headings, and lists
- Inline Dhivehi format button — mark any selected text as Dhivehi
- Classic Editor toolbar buttons + format variants
- Bundled web fonts: Faruma (default) and Noto Sans Thaana (fallback)
- Configurable font, size, and line‑height from Settings → Dhivehi Writer, applied live on the frontend
- Correct dir="rtl" and lang="dv" attributes for accessibility and SEO
