Hi all,

I’m on working to specify the property “style:writing-mode” for ODF. 
That property is called “text direction” in the UI of LibreOffice.

A page in a text document has the setting “Text direction” in section 
“Paper Format” on tab “Page” of the “Page Style” dialog. Possible
values are Left-to-right (horizontal)
Right-to-left (horizontal)
Right-to-left (vertical)
Left-to-right (vertical)

That doesn't sound very sensible. What if I'm writing a document that
includes text in an L-R language as well as text in an R-L language?
(both horizontal). Maybe one included as a quote in the other?

A table has the setting “Text direction” in section “Properties” on
tab “Table” in “Table Properties” dialog. Possible values are
Left-to-right (LTR)
Right-to-left (RTL)
Use superordinate object settings

LibreOffice can combine a vertical text direction at the page with
RTL text direction of the table.

Are such combinations actually used in documents?
Does LibreOffice render the texts in the way users need it?
What is the intended behavior of such combinations?

Kind regards,
Regina
