Description Eyal Rozenberg 2017-12-28 14:25:13 UTC 
Currently, on my system, comments default to being directed left-to-right. To change this, I'm not supposed to edit a full-blown style; instead, I choose "format all comments" in the drop-down menu each comment has.

Well, the thing is, the "format all comments" dialog doesn't include the comment paragraph direction (LTR/RTL). Which it probably should.

We now have a Comment paragraph style. So we can set the direction of all comments - though not with "Format all comments..."
Comment 3 Eyal Rozenberg 2024-07-22 07:46:16 UTC 
Do we even need a "Format all comments" at this point, with the Comment style implemented?

Perhaps it should be "select all comments"? In which case one could clear DF from everything?
Comment 4 Heiko Tietze 2024-07-22 10:06:34 UTC 
The current formatting works on the character level and it sounds reasonable to request a dedicated paragraph style for comments, not sure it can work this way. And it would be nice too if the character formatting was available as an ordinary character style.

Maxim, what do you think?
