Create an adapted color macro for RTL mode (pdflatex and xelatex)
2
This is a complement to these questions:
- Colors bizarre results with right to left text
- Change color method used with beamer
My aim is to create a macro like color which can be used in RTL mode (right to left) and in all circumstances to color text and drawing stuff without issues:
Here my attempt (which use fontspec Color key to color text and normal color to color rules and drawings but this need external markup ~ ~)
documentclass{article}
usepackage{xcolor}
usepackage{fontspec}
setmainfont{Amiri}
usepackage[rldocument]{bidi}
defrtlcolor#1{%
def~{bgroupcolor{#1}let~egroup}
addfontfeature{Color=#1}
}
begin{document}
Right to left text {rtlcolor{red} RED TEXT ~rule{5pt}{5pt}~ right to left text
right to left text right to left text right to left text right to left text } out of group
end{document}
macros color right-to-left

Why is switching to luatex not an option for you? You are now fighting since weeks with the insufficient rtf model of xelatex.

That's now. But seeing the lack of development in xetex/bidi/polyglossia compared to the changes in bidi/babel and the luatex engine I would say it would make more sense to spent your time to improve luatex.
