footnote separator doesn't respect the direction of the page

[munzirtaha]

Description

If I set the direction of the page to rtl, I expect the line separator to be rtl, too. Currently, the footnote is correctly aligned but the separator isn't.

#set text(
  lang: "ar",
  dir: rtl,
)
عربي
#footnote[حاشية]

This seems to be an inconsistency in general where other shapes would respect the rtl direction but lines won't. A somewhat hacky workaround I've found was to manually set the start position for the footnote separators:

#set footnote.entry(
  separator: line(start: (70%,0%), length: 30%, stroke: 0.5pt)
)

Thanks so much for the quick fix. Does the fix take time to be applied to the web app?

There will be a new release soon and the web app will be updated then.
