\setcharactermirroring[1]

It does work perfectly with unidirectional texts (RTL or LTR), but when mixing bi-directional text, like Arabic text between brackets inside English line, the closing bracket takes the direction of the embedded text not the main line. See the attached example.

I just worked with this, and made some symmetrical definitions: see the attached modified files.

\setcharactermirroring[0,1] works in both uni- and bi-directional text -- note that each bracketpair is inside of its respective directional context.

i wonder what gives you the impression that you can use 0.1 as argument currently there is no reset command but you can say \setcharactermirroring[-1] since -1 resets an attribute ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
