Did you work with it?
If so, was it in a web environment? Can you recommend a template system
that makes it simple (I'm really good with Mason and okay with TT)?
Otherwise, can anyone else give me some tips according to that subject? :)

I was just making it clear that direction is the last thing I'm affraid
of :)
I would use CSS for sure, thanks for making it even more obvious for me,
though.
It's not exploiting, it's all about choosing the right tools, don't you
think?
BTW: body { direction: rtl; } /* or anything else instead of body, if
you mentioned cascading */
