[XeTeX] bidi: LTR header in RTL document

[Talal Al-Azem]

Hello Vafa. Yes, my main direction of the section (chapter) is RTL. But like I've described, the rest of the book is LTR. As such, I need the headers to be uniform, and all be LTR (since the book is written in English, with the exception of the chapters containing the edited texts which are in Arabic).

Juan: Thank you for the advice. Unfortunately, it still gives me the same issue I described in my first email, which is that while the name of the chapter is correctly LTR using \protect, the chapter number comes on the far right ("header title 2.1", instead of "2.1 header title").

Many thanks,
Talal
