It isn't. These numeric labels just come out in Latin order (which thus
violates WYSIWYG, but may be OK with WYSIWYM). But... earlier it worked,
I believe. Look at the patch
http://www.lyx.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/lyx-devel/src/counters.C.diff?r1=1.7&r2=1.8
where I import a large piece of code from somewhere else that does a
number of Hebrew things. E.g. enumerate labels, and the letters for
appendices become Hebrew. This is probably where I broke it.
This stuff was originally in text2.C and looked like this:
http://www.lyx.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/lyx-devel/src/text2.C.diff?r1=1.241&r2=1.242
where there is at least an attempt to output Hebrew letters for
appendix labels. And there 'langtype', is defined, on which enumerate
labels depended; later we somehow lost this and they stopped working.
So, concludingly, I am pretty sure some of this (at least the enum
stuff, and appendix number labels, which my patch doesn't even address
yet) worked right around version 1.2. I could prepare a patch only fixing
those two things if you like... but the .[Ch] stuff of it would look
just the same as in this one.
