6 months ago Could you upload a minimal docx created in Word with a couple Hebrew words and a footnote, so I can see how Word represents this and how it differs from pandoc's version?

Using "pandoc main.tex -o main.docx" on the .tex below, we identify the following deviation from a latex-generated PDF:
a footnote following a right-to-left string (e.g., hebrew below) appears correctly on its right side on the PDF and incorrectly on its left side on the .docx
Cheers

Two Pandoc bugs in going from \texttt{.tex} to \texttt{.docx}:
A footnote on a right-to-left string, e.g., \texthebrew{טוֹב}\footnote{A footnote.} appears incorrectly on the left side of the string. \end{document}
