Babelbidi – An extension to babel’s bidirectional support
This package extends Babel’s bidirectional support by fixing direction-sensitive behaviour and providing interfaces for explicit text direction, language selection, and font configuration, including glyph fallback with LuaTeX. It supports languages available through Babel and works with LuaTeX (recommended), XeTeX, or pdfTeX, with either an LTR or RTL main language.
