Hi Wafa and Talal,Wafa, I'm afraid you've misunderstood Talal's requirements. His problem is not simply to get a RTL footnote marker; he needs one in the context of multiple footnote apparatus as supplied by the ednotes/ manyfoot package. This is a requirement for the kind of critical edition that he is writing.
Talal, I've attached a sample file that I think does most of what you want. Please note that I don't work with critical editions and the ednotes package is about the worst documented package I've ever seen, so I don't really understand much of what the expected output is supposed to be.
Some comments about what I did:It seems that you want the first set of footnotes to be Arabic with a RTL rule; to do this, I had to reset the default footnote marker to a right footnote marker, since there doesn't seem to be a way to change the marker using ednotes (even though it could easily be changed using manyfoot). I then created a lftrule for use with the second series of footnotes, and redefined the extrarule to be empty for the third set.
With respect to using the RTL marker for just one chapter, I couldn't figure out a way to redefine the A series footnotes within the document. Perhaps the easiest way around this is to create a fourth footnote series and use that in subsequent chapters as your first set. Again, ednotes isn't very well documented, so I don't know how this would work in practice.
Hopefully though, the attached code will give you something to work on. Alan

I meant \setRTL, because I am using ednotes (which uses manyfoot). I have three levels of footnotes. I want to define the footnote rule of one level (level B, for example) as right-to-left, but the others leave the LtR. I have tried to simply use \rightfootnoterule for the definition of my "level B" of footnotes, but this did not work.see attached file. The commands clearly works. -- Best wishes, Vafa Khalighi <test.tex><test.pdf> -------------------------------------------------- Subscriptions, Archive, and List information, etc.: http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/xetex
