changed the title
The cover page now respects the document's language direction. When `#set text(lang: ...)` is an RTL language (Arabic, Hebrew, Persian, etc.), the title block aligns to the right (`right + horizon`). For LTR languages, it remains left-aligned. This improves readability for RTL documents and complements the existing heading numbering workaround.

ilmtemplate. It fixes two issues that affect documents using languages such as Arabic (ar), Hebrew (he), Persian (fa), and others:2.1instead of1.2).Both fixes are applied automatically based on the document’s active language (
#set text(lang: ...)). No changes to existing documents are required.Problem details
