Which one of the two is correct, in the original text or in the citations? (I don't read Farsi.) I think the issue here is paragraph direction, which in Emacs is dynamically determined by default. See below. > In the browser my original text appears as it does > in the citation. Does the browser display it flushed to the left or to the right? Does it help to say "M-x set-variable RET bidi-paragraph-direction RET right-to-left RET" in Emacs? Do you see both versions of the text correctly then? > And it displays just fine under emacs24 but word > sequences are flipped when the browser renders > that same byte sequence. So the Emacs display is correct, is that what you are saying? I don't care about Firefox, but I do care about the bidirectional display in Emacs. _______________________________________________ emacs-bidi mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-bidi
