Hebrew and English in one book

Plot Device keeps three things separate: the interface’s language, the book’s language, and the direction of each paragraph.

The book’s language

You choose it when you start a book. It sets the direction paragraphs run by default: a Hebrew book runs right to left, an English one left to right.

A paragraph or a phrase the other way

When a paragraph, or a phrase inside one, should run the other way, select it and use Format or the bubble’s ⋯:

• Paragraph left to right and Paragraph right to left set the whole paragraph. Paragraph in the book's direction returns it to the book’s direction.
• Selection left to right and Selection right to left set just the selected words, such as an English name inside a Hebrew sentence, so its punctuation lands in the right place. Selection in the paragraph's direction removes the setting.

Plot Device saves a direction only where it’s needed, in a way other apps keep, so nothing is lost when the book is opened elsewhere. For how it’s written, see Chapters and the contents in the technical docs.

The interface’s language

☰ → Settings… → Language changes the language of menus and buttons. It doesn’t change your book. Write a Hebrew book in an English interface, or the other way round.
