If I set the writing mode on a page master to "rl" (arabic/hebrew) and
than define margin-left and right on the region body where are these
margins suppose to appear on the output device, i.e. would margin-left
still be on the left side of the paper and margin-right on the right
side?
A sample fo is further below. My problem is that on the generated PDF
the margin-left is on the right and vice versa. And I am not sure if
that is correct.
