Here is something strange that I can't work out - the author and title appear swapped (please tell me I'm not going crazy...):

Looking good, thanks!

the author and title appear swapped
RTL text?
Member Author
RTL text?
Does that make sense to you then? I considered that the text is an RTL language, I didn't think it would affect the token order?
Member
It's not about the token order. It's about the start and end of RTL text and the characters in between the {author} and {title} variables in your --title argument value.
Konsole for example, my terminal emulator, shows the correct/expected order, but when I copy and paste it into Chromium, it's displayed wrong. And MPV does display it incorrectly as well. That's be cause it's detecting RTL characters without RTL marks, and it fills in those marks and changes the order until the first non-RTL character has been found. Non-alphanumeric characters like ! get ignored. If you replace the ! character with a latin character, you'll see that only the variable substitutions themselves get displayed as RTL text.
