Well, I suppose you do not use low-level commands like \RL to typeset say
Arabic. Do you?
We have been; perhaps relevant is the fact that we're typesetting small amounts
of text in various right-to-left scripts in the middle of a bunch of
left-to-right text (a grammar).
One usually defines an environment like:
\newfontfamily\arabicfont[ExternalLocation,Script=Arabic]{amiri-regular}
\newenvironment{arabtext}{\begin{RTL}\@Latinfalse\arabicfont}{\end{RTL}
or if you are defining commands:
\newcommand*{\textarab}[1]{\RL{\@Latinfalse\arabicfont #1}}
Ok, tried that; it (and also my original attempt at redefining \RL) fails for
some reason in captions. The minimal example is
---------------
\documentclass{report}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\newfontfamily\ArabicFont[Script=Arabic]{Scheherazade}
\usepackage{bidi}
\makeatletter
\@Latintrue
\newcommand*{\ArabicScript}[1]{\RL{\@Latinfalse\ArabicFont #1}}
\makeatother
\begin{document}
\begin{table}
\caption{{\ArabicScript{دن}}}
\end{table}
\end{document}
-----------
The error msg is
! Incomplete \iffalse; all text was ignored after line 15.
<inserted text>
