--- Comment #8 from Eyal Rozenberg <[email protected]> --- (In reply to jcuenod from comment #5) Actually, that doesn't make things clearer. Paragraph alignment is basically orthogonal paragraph direction. And the span of RTL text does not "align" anywhere; the only questions are: 1. Should the space character(s) between the last word fitting on the first line and the first word on the next line should be kept on the first line, assuming they fit, or moved to the next one? 2. If they are kept on the first line, should they appear on the left side, between the LTR span and the last letter of the last RTL word, or on the right side, to the right of the first RTL word? LO Writer answers this with "Kept on the first line" and "on the left side". I am not sure what Unicode standard says! It won't hurt to check using MS-Word and MS Notepad what Microsoft does. Using the XFCE mousepad editor, I notice the answers are "kept on the first line" and "on the right side" - unlike the LO logic, and perhaps more in line with what you expect. So does GNOME's gedit. AbiWord acts like LO Writer though. > Anecdotally, however, this is how I've seen other editors lay out such text > (e.g. Google docs) and this is how I've observed it in journal articles.
