Description mayz 2006-12-17 18:11:33 UTC 
When creating a document, selecting CTL and setting the text direction of the
document to RTL, write some text with bullets and/or numbering, save as HTML,
the direction in the genereated HTML is set only to the <P> element to RTL and
not to the <UL> or <LI> or <BODY>, this causes the bullets/numbering to be on
the far left and the text on the far right, thus what you see in the oow is
different from what you see in the webbrowser.

Dont set language to hebrew, just try to write hebrew with CTL enabled without
selecting languge, but setting the direction to RTL, or if you wish, try to set
the text direction in the attachment you sent to LTR and keep language hebrew,
how would it look like when saved as HTML, it will look RTL although you wanted
it LTR!!

I cannot reproduce it.

Do you mean that after HTML export:

"This text here" 1.

looks like:

1. "This text here"

?

ive attached the document and a screen shot of it and the html export and a
screen shot of it, all under linux, i dont know how the html looks like in ie
under windows.

the html tag looks like this:
<UL>
	<LI><P DIR="RTL" ALIGN=RIGHT STYLE="margin-bottom: 0in">bullet</P>
	<LI><P DIR="RTL" ALIGN=RIGHT STYLE="margin-bottom: 0in">another one</P>

and i believe it should look like this:
<UL DIR="RTL">
	<LI DIR="RTL"><P DIR="RTL" ALIGN=RIGHT STYLE="margin-bottom: 0in">bullet</P>
	<LI DIR="RTL"><P DIR="RTL" ALIGN=RIGHT STYLE="margin-bottom: 0in">another one</P>

->AMA:

setting <li><p  DIR="RTL">...</p> does not include the <li>

The whole <ul> block should be formatted like this:

<ul   DIR="RTL">
    <li><p  DIR="RTL">...</p>
    <li><p  DIR="RTL">...</p>
...    
    <li><p  DIR="RTL">...</p>
</ul>
