[NTG-context] Re: ConteXt commands in an rtl environment
Alan Bowen schrieb am 29.04.2024 um 19:37: I used TeXShop and PopChar Pro to get the letter ר so that it is l2r. Not a great solution but it works when one is working in r2l text. (Thank heaven for Unicode.) I will have a look at Visual Studio Code. I tested a few text editors with better RTL support and all of them show the text in the same way as TeXShop. Support for RTL in Visual Studio Code seems to be limited because the editor doesn't use the Unicode Bidi Algorithm [1].

I discovered what the problem was. Just in case someone else may also
wonder how to do this, one way (not necessarily the best) is to insert:
{ר}high\
where the letter in parentheses (resh) should be entered in a l2r
context, not r2l.
Which editor do you use?
There is no universal solution for this because different editors
require different methods, I tries Notepad++ and VSCode and latter was
easier to use for me.
See the attached snipped how the input looks in Visual Studio Code.
