text-dirr (Typst package)

This package is made to work around https://github.com/typst/typst/issues/6181,
as text.dir by default returns auto instead of ltr/rtl. When this issue
will be resolved, there will be no need to use this package.

Note that Typst currently doesn't support (ISO 639) set 2 and 3 language codes:
https://github.com/typst/typst/issues/6182.

Usage

#import "@preview/text-dirr:1.0.0": text-dir, rtl-languages

ISO 639 language codes for RTL languages that Typst can detect:
#rtl-languages.map(list.item).join()

#context assert.eq(text-dir(), ltr)

#set text(lang: "ar")
#context assert.eq(text-dir(), rtl)

#set text(dir: ltr)
#context assert.eq(text-dir(), ltr)

• text-dir() — returns either ltr or rtl and must be used inside context
• rtl-languages — array of strings (language codes for RTL languages)
