how to get a Hebrew markdown converted correctly to pdf?

Hi guys!
I have read thoroughly the Pandoc user's guide,
and focused on the language variables,  have set the relevant variables:

pandoc  --variable=title:"my example" *--variable=dir:rtl* hebrew.txt 
--latex-engine=xelatex  -o hebrew.pdf

I noticed the variable* --variable=otherlangs:he* , does no change at all. 
how come?

the actual output is all Hebrew characters got disappeared after exporting 
to pdf file.
since I have used the dir:rtl, the other characters were aligned to the 
right.


can someone please suggest a solution?
Thank you all for the assistance

Gil

Most likely cause is that you're using a font that doesn't cover Hebrew.
Take a font with good Hebrew coverage and pass it to pandoc with
--variable=mainfont:"Font Name"

Hi Gil,

I'm trying to generate a docx from HTML and I get a left aligned document. 
I've tried to pass dir:RTL variable but it doesn't help. interesting thig 
is that I'm trying doing it on my machine(windows, support Hebrew) 
everything is fine, but when trying on production(Linux) it doesn't work.

do you have any idea?
would love to discuss with you here or over a short cellphone (I'm from 
Israel, too)

Many thanks,
Noam

Do you have an older version of pandoc, perhaps, on the
linux machine?
