In a separate thread ("r2l alignment and linenumbering conflict?"), we've gotten numerals in an Arabic RTL document to (a) display as Arabic numerals, and (b) to order their digits in the right order (e.g. 2015 instead of 5102). By defining the headstyle of linenotes, we can even get linenotes to

At least, they work for me.
Talal,
sorry for the noise, the first linenote has the problem you described.
I thought it belonged to the second linenote.

Thank you, Pablo. This is indeed the problem: the individual elements — the
notes — are correctly RTL, but the overall “paragraph” is ordering the elements
LTR (with the additional caveat the footnote paragraph is not properly
aligned/justified to the right margin either).

You’re right. The patch gets us half way to the desired behaviour (namely,
correct ordering of the footnotes within the paragraph). But it seems that the

Two quick questions regarding footnotes and Arabic:
1. How do I get a footnote rule/marker to go from right-to-left (i.e. to begin
at the right margin instead of the left margin)?
