Don't know how far this helps, but a quick test shows that wrapping the content
of your problem in a div with an id of "problemwrapper" and adding the
following style moves the text field to the left end of the prompt. Text-entry
in the text field is still left to right so there are still more issues to be
addressed, but perhaps this gives a step forward? I have not tried anything
with your second example.
<style type="text/css">
#problemwrapper input[type="text"]{float:left;margin-right:20px;}
</style>

Subject: [LON-CAPA-users] Full support for Right-To-Left languages?
Hi
We are interested in developing content in Hebrew which is a Right-to-left
(RTL) language.
We have authored several test problems in order to see the extent of RTL
support.
To achieve correct directionality of the text within sentences we have used the
<span> tags with the RTL attribute.
However, this does not provide good support for RTL alignment of paragraphs.
For example, in a radiobutton response, the radio buttons appear on the wrong
side, see minimal example below.
We haven’t found in the manuals any instructions for authoring content in RTL
languages.
We wonder if full RTL support is available for Lon-Capa content and interface
(including menus, etc.).
If such support is not available built-in, we would appreciate any information
as regard to implementing such support.
Minimal examples follow below.
(Note: this message was sent to the developers' list but did not receive any
response. So we try our luck here.)
Thank you in advance.
