RLM/LRM marks in XML

Hi, Community

I prepare the project with xml source files. one of the target languages is Arabic. I need to control right-to-left / left-to-rigt order for some parts of segment. But i cant insert RLM/LRM marks into target: not with hotkey (ctrl+alt+r/ctrl+alt+l(2011)/ctrl+alt+m(>2014)), not with click icon  RLM LRM on Ribbon. No that problem if the soorce file is docx/xlsx/html/itd and so on. 

I can only copy/past the marks from other file.

How can I insert the marks, not copy/past

  • Why would you do this though? For XML the author should provide this ability in the custom XML filetype as it may not be wanted at all. In this case it may be acceptable for inline controls but it isn't always. If the controls are made available through the filetype then it can be shared with the project and nobody needs to do anything. Changing the xml for the plugin like this would need to be done for each computer receiving the project.

    This workaround is possibly helpful if the need for the control was forgotten and it wasn't possible to prepare the project correctly, but it may be unhelpful, or even unwanted, if the ommission was deliberate. It's not always a good idea to find ways around the software unless you know why the restrictions are there in the first place.
