[xep-support] Re: Writing direction of retrieved marker is incorrect

[Patricia Piolon]

Hello,

Can I just bump this? I saw on the online archive that my initial email was
dramatically formatted (blame GMail's plain text mode), so I'm sending it
again, in case the weird formatting impeded your attempts to help me out. :)

I've got an xsl-fo document with the following markers:

<fo:marker marker-class-name="section-name-local">عام ٠-١</fo:marker>

(In case this is not rendered correctly in my email, we're looking at arabic
text that says something like "1-0 NEG", which is the Arabic version of
section GEN 0.1, so that's correct)

For retrieval, the fo looks like this:

<fo:block font-size="100%" xml:lang="ar-EG" writing-mode="rl-tb"
font-family="FreeSans">
<fo:retrieve-marker retrieve-class-name="section-name-local"
retrieve-position="first-starting-within-page" retrieve-boundary="page-
sequence"/>
</fo:block>

In PDF though, the section name now looks like "NEG 0-1" instead of "1-0
NEG". I can't even copy the Arabic text because if I do it's pasted more
correctly than it is in the PDF (if that makes sense). I have a screenshot
here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/581789/Screenshots/g.png - I'm talking about the
bit right below the GEN 0.1-1 in the top corner.

Can someone explain what is going on here and if it's possible to get XEP
to behave? Other Arabic text is displayed correctly.

Thanks for your help,
-- Patricia
