I thought of dropping a note here, that I posted a proper RTL support plugin to the Obsidian Third-party plugins.
This includes the real deal of setting RTL paragraph direction to all or just some notes in the Markdown editor mode (didn’t do preview yet).

Is there a way to add in this plugin a capability to RTL only one paragraph instead of the whole note?

I wish, but CodeMirror (the component behind Obsidian’s editor) can only set the direction for the whole document.

This is just great! THANK YOU!

One question: When exporting to pdf the text is still LTR, is there something I need to do in order to fix it or is it a known issue?

Thanks again!

It should be pretty easy for the author to target print, which has class .print.

@esm90: great work you’re doing here! Have you considered opening a share & showcase thread if you haven’t? You can gather feedback and post updates there.

Otherwise, I think people are also discovering it by searching for “RTL” in third-party plugins.

@dorongol seems like it’s an area I didn’t cover yet. It should be easy enough, I’ll address that next time I have a few minutes to work on the plugin. You’re also very welcome to open a PR in the plugin Github repo if you’re up to it :slight_smile:
@Silver thanks for the tip, I didn’t think about it. If it’s gonna help users to discover the RTL support I’ll surely open a share & showcase thread.

That RTL export is awesome. I tried multiple apps, couldn’t figure a easy way for doing it to Markdown.

Since Markdown (and so Obsidian) support HTML tags, a temporary solution to have bi-directional notes is to simply put rtl and ltr blocks between <div dir="rtl"></div> and <div dir="ltr"></div> tags.

<div dir="rtl">
این یک متن نمونه راست به چپ است
</div>
<div dir="ltr">
This is a sample left-to-right text
</div>

Then you can use the RTL support plugin shortcuts to change the direction in each block to write more conveniently. You can also use the Text Expander plugin to automate pasting div HTML tags

Thanks for the solution. Do you know a workaround for eliminate red dot (character \u200c)، semispace in Persian Language?

I couldn’t find any workarounds. But fixing the problem seems to be a more logical and easier step at this point.

The problem still exist in Obsidian version 0.11.5.
I’m not a tech savvy.
should I implement some codes?

Nothing you can do by yourself. Just like the topic I mentioned if you can. Obsidian developers will probably fix it, when they get the change.
