No it doesn't. Believe me! Just an english word in a RTL line is enough to
become unreadable when it is displayed LTR.

Of course you can handle it with RLM character even if your editor doesn't
support dynamic reordering at all. But we emacs users expect smart behavior.

I do not expect emacs to support correct bidi reordering based on structure
of a file. I just expect it to *be able to *have the same
​idea
as most of other editors
, about what a paragraph is​. Although
​​emacs is still
UAX#9
​-compatible, but it is inconsistent with most of *other* *UAX#9-compatible*
editors. So the blame for inconsistency is on emacs.

Patches are welcome.
​Would you please let me know which functions in which files are most
related how emacs ​bidi dynamic reordering algorithm separates paragraphs?

​Thanks in advance for your time Eli.​
