Subject: marking the direction of text inside of a paragraph
Hello. A year ago I tried to propose a change in the OpenDocument standard on this mailing list. Archive link: https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/office-comment/201110/threads.html The summary is: 1. In OpenDocument it's possible to define the direction (rtl/ltr) of a paragraph, but not of a sequence inside a paragraph. For comparison, in HTML one can do <p dir="rtl"> Some rtl text. <span dir="ltr">Some ltr text.</span> </p> In OpenDocument, only the <p> level is available. 2. It's possible to achieve the desired result by using Unicode control characters such as RLE, LRE and PDF, but in practice it's very complicated for the users to actually use them. Several people replied and asked me questions about the proposal, and I think that I addressed the issues that were raised. But the thread got forgotten after a few replies. As far as I know, the issue is still not resolved. What can be done to push this forward?
