------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fri Sep 22 01:56:39 -0700 2006 ------- There seems to be some confusion here. Let us try to straighten it out. Alignment First of all, mathematical formulae that appear in Hebrew texts are right aligned, just like any other LTR text that is embedded in a Hebrew or Arabic text. Directionality Mathematical formulae in their entirety are considered to be embedded LTR texts in Israel for the purposes of Hebrew and Arabic text *as printed in Israel*. Israel is also an Arabic speaking country and with it's own Arabic locale. It might be that mathematical formulae are displayed otherwise on other Arabic locales though I rather doubt it. Please ask Waleed Husny or the Arabeyes list or Magdy Abdel Kudous at Sun about this. Therefore, in the absence of explicit directional overrides, the first character of a Western numerical expression or mathematical formula embedded in a Hebrew or Arabic text increments the Bidi algorithm embedding level of the paragraph, and the first strong RTL (Hebrew or Arabic) character following the numerical expression decrements the embedding level. In simple terms, "A = B" in a Hebrew or Arabic text printed in Israel looks exactly like "A = B" in an English text printed in Manchester - there is no switching sides around the "=" sign. I will solicit Matti Allouche's comment on this, since he has a sharper grasp of the Bidi algortihm and the higher level protocols than I. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
