experimental in the beta \setcharactermirroring[1]It does work perfectly with unidirectional texts (RTL or LTR), but when mixing bi-directional text, like Arabic text between brackets inside English line, the closing bracket takes the direction of the embedded text not the main line. See the attached example.
I just worked with this, and made some symmetrical definitions: see the attached modified files.
\setcharactermirroring[0,1] works in both uni- and bi-directional text -- note that each bracketpair is inside of its respective directional context.
However, for the FIRST occurence of a bracket-pair in a bidi paragraph it does not behave as expected.
It may be that the second invocation of \setcharactermirroring does not immediately override the last. Maybe we need a \flush or \clearsetcharactermirroring command?
