For example, when writing a mathematical text in Hebrew, intended to be typeset by the TeX system, the following display-mode equation may occur: $$ x+y=z $$ In this case the Emacs GUI would align the initial $$ along the buffer's right margin, whereas the next two lines would be aligned along the left margin. This causes a disruption of the logical cohesiveness of the LaTeX code. Is there a way that I could indicate to the Emacs GUI to align the initial $$ along the left margin?
