But what specifically do these lines accomplish? It means that --------- line1 line2 line3 --------- is treated as 3 separate paragraphs by the bidi code. With the default values, youʼd have to write --------- line1 line2 line3 --------- Why would you care? Itʼs so that you can have different bidi directions on different lines without having to separate the paragraphs with newlines (youʼd probably want to turn on `visual-line-mode' as well). Robert --
