------- Additional comments from [email protected] Thu Feb 5 14:55:11 +0000 2009 ------- @hdu: see also issue 95668, although that issue focuses on MS import. I think I am not such a great fan of an automatic-inserted-something solution. Still, the OOo has many advantages over the Ms approach. If one knows the concept of how to use RLM/LRM, there is really no problem. If one types e.g. parentheses in Word, you have the directional information attached depending on the input language, that was used, and it is almost impossible to get rid of that afterwards. Editing such text passages can cause a lot of pain, because it is often unclear which input language was used. So, any innovation should be more transparent than that. A first step into that direction could be to optionally visualize the LRM/RLM markers. So if the application inserts a marker, and I want to remove that, I can do that without too much guessing. For the automatic insertion: 1. It could be done by detecting weak characters on the run boundaries, and detecting which input IME was used. Still, I am not convinced that this would be so helpful (will attach example) 2. Maybe it is more useful to concentrate on parentheses. A lot of problematic expamples described in the issues involve parentheses, where the opening and closing parentheses get different directionalities. This could be compensated by adding the appropriate marker to the closing parenthesis. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
