No, XMLmind XML Editor clearly does not support right-to-left languages. Not even at the most basic level. Unless we find a funding for this feature, we do not plan to support right-to-left languages because: * This feature is long and difficult to implement when you want to do it seriously (that is, much more than typing a few right-to-left words within a western document). * We do not feel that this feature would significantly increase our sales. --- PS: I've forwarded this email to xmleditor-support at xmlmind.com because your request and what you describe may interest other XMLmind XML Editor users.
