Newbie here.  (Part of a small team working to get Bullinger's Companion 
Bible in OSIS).

Wondering if OSIS requires special characters for left and right parentheses

(
)

or do I just shift 9 and shift 0 like anything else?

Also...

I'm going to try and use the SBL Hebrew font because it's Unicode...  Does 
OSIS need any "LTR" (left-to-right) tags or will it automatically change 
direction as part of its behavior?
