changed title from chore: automatically detect RTL on all MFM content to style: automatically detect RTL on all MFM content

after adding dir=auto to the postform textarea, things look sensible:

@dimkr does it look good enough to you too?

changed the description

@dakkar Big improvement over the current state!

The only problem I see in these examples is the bottom example here:

It's rendered correctly (in terms of bidi text direction) but the second part after line breaking is left aligned (visually) instead of right aligned. Maybe this happens because all elements in the page page are left-aligned and beyond the scope of #356 (closed).

• aa11348d - `<bid>` all over the place

Compare with previous version

I've now pushed my proposed implementation which adds a bunch of <bdi> when switching between different "sources" of text:

• center
• url
• mention
• hashtag
• code
• quote (in the sense of > foo, not quote-renote)
• math

As I wrote above, I believe this will not affect LTR text, but should produce more sensible bidi text.
