------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mon Aug 29 03:25:49 -0700 2005 ------- When I enter English words in right-to-left (e.g., Hebrew) paragraphs, I expect them to appear left-to-right. This works most of the way, except of I want to use punctuation marks as well. For instance, I would like to be able to write things like "main()", and have the braces appear to the right of the word main, and not to the left. MS Office behaves correctly (or at least, more intuitively) on this. Maybe it's not a bug per se, and this recognition is done by design. But in that case, how do I include things like code examples in the middle of Hebrew text? To recreate the bug: 1. switch a paragraph to R-t-L direction. 2. write something like "main()". Watch the braces appear to the left of the word main. Possible fix: Currently, it appears that any sequence of English letters and punctuation marks beginning and ending with an English letter is handled as a Left-to-Right sequence. (in Regular expression parlance, that's /:letter: (:letter:|:punct:)*:letter:/). This must be changed to /:letter: (:letter:|:punct:)*/. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
