There is currently no tags in DocBook to support bidi explicitly (as in HTML). For example, you can easily convert to HTML, and rely on the bidi support of the browser
Thanks for the help.
My problem is with the missing dir="rtl" in Docbook/XML to set the paragraph direction and alignment. This means I have to manually edit the HTML files. While this is not too hard I think that it's an ugly solution, that is very hard to maintain.
While googeling on this I came across this very interesting thread:
http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/docbook/200302/msg00106.html
It seems the docbook technical committee confronted this issue back in 2003, and if you follow the thread, you can see they decided a direction attribute should be added as a common attribute to the docbook DTD.
I will dig in the documentation some more and if I don't find anything, I will try and post a message to the docbook mailing list to check what happened to the attribute.

Hillel.
