[XeTeX] Using pkgs bidi and enumitem together

[François Charette]

Dear Thomas,

I am not entirely sure to understand exactly what you want.

The problem with the left margin in your first example can apparently be 
solved by adjusting the \labelwidth. I cannot reproduce the problem of 
the label overlapping with the text in your second example though.

Try the following sample (and compare with the attachment). I guess the 
first example might be what you want.

%---
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\usepackage{bidi}
\setromanfont{Charis SIL}
\newfontfamily\hebfont[Script=Hebrew]{Ezra SIL}
\begin{document}
\noindent\hrule

\newcommand{\hebitem}[1]{\item \RL{\hebfont #1}}
\setlength\labelwidth{-2em}
\begin{enumerate}
\setcounter{enumi}{0}
\renewcommand\labelenumi{KAI 6:\theenumi.}
\hebitem{מש · ז פעל · אלבעל · מלך · גבל · ביח[מלך · מלך · גבל]}
\hebitem{[לב]עלת · גבל · אדתו · תארך · [בעלת · גבל]}
\hebitem{[ימת · א]לבעל · ושנתו · על [גבל]}
\end{enumerate}

\noindent\hrule

\setRL
\begin{enumerate}
\setcounter{enumi}{0}
\renewcommand\labelenumi{\LR{KAI 6:\theenumi.}}
\item {\hebfont מש · ז פעל · אלבעל · מלך · גבל · ביח[מלך · מלך · גבל]}
\item {\hebfont [לב]עלת · גבל · אדתו · תארך · [בעלת · גבל]}
\item {\hebfont [ימת · א]לבעל · ושנתו · על [גבל]}
\end{enumerate}

\end{document}

Met vriendelijke groeten,

François
