Indent the Right side in first line of every paragraph

Pretty simple issue.

When writing in English (left to right language), I can indent the left (by default)

When writing in Urdu (right to left language), there’s no option to indent the right.

I’ve tried five different approaches, all indent the left.

I want to indent right the first line of a paragraph. that’s it.

I would tentatively say that might be very difficult for us to do. You basically need the ruler to invert on any paragraph that is set to RTL, so that the special first-line indent marker is on the right side instead of the left. Without that, all you can do is block indent. What makes that potentially difficult is that, on both platforms, the ruler control is something that just comes with the text editor we use, rather than being something we’ve hand-coded. So unless it has a way of inverting dynamically, again based on whether the cursor is in an RTL paragraph, I would imagine it would be very hard to make it do that.

We can look into it though.
