Hi !

I'm embedding HTML lists into a docx document and no matter what I try, the lists always come our LTR.
When viewing the same HTML in a browser things look fine (i.e. RTL).

assume this simple HTML example :

<ul>
   <li>
      aaa
   </li>
   <li>
      bbb
   </li>
</ul>

Things I've already tried (+ combinations of them) :

• setting the document to RTL using setRTL() function (before / after embedding the HTML)
• setting the document dir attribute to 'rtl'
• placing the <ul> tag in a div with style="direction: rtl;"
• setting a style="direction: rtl;" on the <ul> tag and/or <li> tags
• setting dir="rtl" on the <ul> tag and/or <li> tags

The only thing that made *some* difference was to set the alignment of the <ul> to 'right' but obviously this yields the wrong results as the text shows up to the right of the list "symbol" (e.g. dot / number) instead of to it's left.

For viewing the docx file I've already tried :

• MS Word viewer (with the conversion addon)
• MS Word 2013
• Libre Office 4.2.8.2

All yielded the same results.

Any clues on how to solve this ??

Thanks.
