persianParser.js

A javascript library to convert Persian (Farsi) text to another unicode range so iOS/Android browsers can recognize them as valid webfont suitable text.

Development Version

Please note that this library is under heavy development and I don't recommend using it in production environment since it might cause some problems and crash the iOS browser if used on a large amount of text.

Demo

Please visit The Demo Page on your iOS device using Safari or Google Chrome.

Please note That newer versions of Google Chrome for Android acutally support arabic/persian webfonts and you don't need to use this for that.

Usage

Include persianParser.js in your HTML page and use the method described below.

Methods

Parse Text

---

Use this method to do the conversion:

persianParser('این یک متن تست است و تبدیل خواهد شد.').parse();

Example Usage

var elems = document.querySelectorAll('h1, h2, p');

for(i = 0; i <= elems.length; i++)
{
    if( typeof elems[i] !== 'undefined' ){
        elems[i].innerHTML = persianParser(elems[i].innerHTML).parse();
    }
}

You might as well check the demo to see how it works.
