}}} tags inside CDATA or with Unicode directionality characters (for e.g., RLE and PDF, or ‫ and ‬, or U+202B and U+202C.) for excerpts or titles. While we currently have pretty good support for RTL languages, there is no support for RTL in feeds - all is left up up to the feed reader. I suggest adding a mechanism to automatically insert these tags/characters for blogs that have text_direction set to RTL - much in the same way RTL css style sheets are loaded for these blogs. I have attached a patch that modifies the feed templates to insert these tags/characters. Note that there is no checking of blog directionality here - this is just an example of how to enforce RTL in feeds, not how to enforce it conditionally. This relate to a previous ticket I submitted (#5517), regarding adding an option to set the feed language - which currently just defaults to EN. Certain feed readers know to display RTL text in proper directionality according to feed language (for e.g., feeds that have their feed language set to HE (Hebrew), will get displayed from Right to Left). While setting feed language is not a comprehensive solution, it is a step in the right direction." enhancement assigned normal Awaiting Review I18N normal rtl-feedback close ramiy tomer
