Hi,
Nowadays there's a big problem to combine English and Hebrew text in the
OpenOffice. As of Now, in an R2L paragraph, all punctuations are using CTL
fonts and considered R2L, another side-effect of this phenomena is, once an
English sentence is typed, and it ends with closing braces they'll be shown
in the end of the sentence ("I LIKE MY DOG STYE (cockerspynel) is good" will
render as "cockespynel) is good) ELYTS GOD YM EKIL I" see attachment).
As of now there's no way for the naive user (who don't know how to insert
LRM/RLM signs) to overcome this two troubles, eLaTex's feature \L{}\R{}
should solve this issue and will allow the user 100% controll on the
document.
