Problem in Ranges

[Mahmoud Kenawy]

Hello Colleagues

I trying to create an Arabic EPUB file and actually everything is good so far, except some cases in text

when there are some numbers IN RANGE and : or - between them like (2000 : 1982) and (985 - 600)

when I convert the range to RTL in Arabic by character styles it remains LTR in the EPUB file,

I discovered solution to convert the direction by copy and paste the numbers it will appears fine in EPUB  but it will be efferent if one of these ranges not numbers

like this (2000 - NGV2)

any one can help me please

Marhaba Mahmoud,

I couldn't replicate the problem you're facing. Can you share your Character and Paragraph panel settings including Character Direction and all that.

Thank you Mr Zaid 

for reply I will try to make it clear by this example, check this screenshot from my numbered style

in indesign it correctly appear and when I export it, it returns to LTR order

Well I was hoping to see your InDeign settings and EPUB export settings to understand where the change is happening. I did quite few experiments now, and the results were all satisfactory on both Adobe Digital Edition as well as on iBooks.

Now, is this ٣ - ١ is a Numbered list or a plain text that you typed manually? If it was a numbered list, would you then try to convert it to text on the export to EPUB window as below…

at first this list was manual, then I made it automatic in the style and and applied the export option as you mentioned "convert to text" I got this

Ok guys, I want to tell you about the updates in this case

I discovered that this problem because of the EPUB reader, at ADE it goes wrong as the screenshot, but when I checked it on Readium everything is fine

so when you export your EPUB you will need to check your results on a lot of readers to be ensure the result
