BabelBidi – An extension to babel’s bidirectional support
This package extends Babel’s bidirectional support by correcting direction-sensitive behaviour and providing interfaces for text direction, layout, language selection, and font configuration, including glyph fallback with LuaTeX. It also provides direction-aware controls for footnotes, lists, bibliographies, margin notes, and columns. It supports Babel languages and works with LuaTeX (recommended), XeTeX, and pdfTeX, with either an LTR or RTL main language.
