I must disagree with the suggestion that we use RLM/LRM to solve issue 18024, even though it puts me in the unpleasant position of disagreeing not only with the two of you, but also with [EMAIL PROTECTED] who brought up the issue originally. Here's why I disagree: RLM/LRM markers are meant to function just like RTL or LTR strong characters, only they aren't visible. Change an LRM with any strong LTR character, and it will have no effect on the display order. We know that
We know that FUNCTION f(x) displays incorrectly. We also know that FUNCTION qf(x) will display just as incorrectly,
So we can conclude that
FUNCTION <LRM>f(x) will display just as incorrectly as: FUNCTION qf(x)
since as far as the bidi algorithm is concerned, there's no difference between an LRM and a "q" (or any other strong LTR chracter). So inserting an LRM either manually or automatically will not solve the problem.
The LRM has be inserted behind the closing bracket. Then the bracket will be enclosed by two strong LTR characters, therefore it will become a LTR closing bracket.
