Maybe my question is much easier. I am looking for help on how to change the direction of main footnote rule separator for only one section or chapter. Currently, when I put "\setRTLmarginpar" at the beginning of the arabic section of my thesis, and at the end -- when I wish to go back to English and thus to a LTR footnote rule-- I type \setLRmarginpar, nothing happens. I probably need to make a newenvironment of some type, but that hasn't worked either.<br>
