persian rtl format

The problem

Persian text containing English words or numbers gets scrambled in desktop apps because the base direction defaults to LTR. Sentences reorder, punctuation ends up on the wrong side, and mixed-direction paragraphs become unreadable.

What it does

• Wraps every Persian paragraph with U+202B (RLE) and U+202C (PDF) invisible characters to force RTL rendering.
• Handles mixed-script lines by treating English words as bare LTR islands to prevent bidi algorithm reordering.
• Replaces standard Markdown list markers with manual RTL numbering to avoid layout breakage.
• Applies Persian numeral formatting (۱۲۳) within RTL lines while preserving Latin digits for code.
• Ensures no line starts with a Latin character, preventing the entire block from flipping to LTR.

Why this beats prompting it yourself

Manually inserting Unicode directional marks is error-prone and invisible in most editors. This skill handles the precise placement of RLE/PDF marks and manages complex bidi boundary rules that simple one-sentence prompts often ignore.

Use cases

• Translating technical documentation from English to Persian.
• Writing Persian messages that include code snippets or file paths.
• Explaining programming concepts to Persian-speaking developers.
• Formatting Persian articles that reference English brand names or terminology.
