Without that package, i hat Problems e.g. with hyphenation/linewrapping of short hebrew (rtl) phrases within german (ltr) Paragraphen. With that package, a change of the writing direction is not just marked by a unicode-code rtl/ltr, but XeTeX (i dont know if it also works with plain LaTeX) is told that it has to typeset that given phrase rtl/ltr.<br>

Ah, I see. As I understood it, Mordechai was more concerned with getting LTR text inline rendered correctly in TeXworks when it is surrounded by RTL text (he was already able to get it to typeset correctly with XeTeX, I believe), and the problem appeared to be that the dollar-symbol is direction-neutral and therefore does not of itself trigger the correct rendering in TeXworks.<br>

A subsidiary question : does not your multi-line solution lead to unwanted spaces ? I found that to replicate the appearance of the typeset output of my inline version, I had to hide two end-of-line markers in your multi-line original, as in :<br>
