[xep-support] RTL script and text-align=inside/outside

[Benoit Maisonny]

Hi,

More trouble with right-to-left scripts: I'm trying to align bilingual
Arabic/English text to the inside edge of the page:

<fo:block text-align="inside"><fo:block-container writing-mode="rl-tb"
font-family="FreeSerif">
                    <fo:block xml:lang="ar-EG">© 2012 القاهرة.</fo:block>
                </fo:block-container><fo:block-container>
                    <fo:block font-style="normal" xml:lang="en-GB">© 2012
Synclude</fo:block>
                </fo:block-container></fo:block>

This does not work as I expected: "inside" becomes outside for Arabic text.
So, inside is no different from left or start. Conversely, "outside"
reverses the alignment: English is indeed outside-aligned but Arabic
becomes inside-aligned.

Regards,
Benoit
