The explanation on the RTL MARK is taken from the OPEN BOX right of the () comment. Right of the () comment different characters can appear: {, m, OPEN BOX (which here actually is TAB!). These boxes or characters do not change size by the same amount (or not at all?) when I invoke text-scale-decrease or text-scale-increase. You can also see the boxes in the Myanmar texts. -- Greetings Pete Only useless documentation transcends the first two laws. – Arnold's Third Law of Documentation
