<p>If I understand the "bidi" system well, it is not correct to switch them because, with this hyphen, my text gives a list of 2 figures, and not a single number. So, the text RTL direction should be used, not the figures "weak" LTR direction.<br>
</p>Looking at my FO file in a non-Unicode-compliant text editor, the characters are stored in the file in the right order: Arabic-word space Arabic-0 hyphen Arabic-1.<br><br>If I replace the hyphen by an Arabic letter, then the figures are in the expected order, but a space or comma also give an incorrect order.<br>
<br>I have the feeling this is an error in XEP, but maybe I misunderstand something here.<br><br>Regards,<br>Benoit<br><br><br>
