Created attachment 93099 [details] ltr span inside rtl content hey, if i create a blank writer page and insert into it a RTL paragraph , i can easily add my text in RTL direction, if i want to add a simple LTR span inside that paragragh, when i change the direction style of that span, direction of paragraph changes to new LTR style :( i have checked content.xml file inside my odt file, i think some improvements is needed in tool that modifies content.xml file.
The direction buttons change the base direction of the whole paragraph, not the selected part of it. What you want is something similar to http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-writing-modes/#propdef-unicode-bidi "isolate" values (propably requires changes to the underlying file formats), or inserting the equivalent Unicode BiDi control characters around the embedded LTR span (which you can do right now). Either case it will be a different UI element.

this is not a bug ( i think so ) , but i wish you add same thing that i can insert LTR ( or RTL ) text within RTL ( or LTR ) paragraph, thank you libreOffice ,
There should be no problem inserting LTR text inside RTL paragraph and the reverse, it should just work most of time, and for the odd cases where you want to force specific direction for punctuation and other symbols, you can Unicode bidi control characters for finer control, have you tried this?
