This is an interesting comment. The `dir` for a list (e.g. `ol` or `ul`) provides the paragraph direction for each of the list items. Setting `dir` on an individual `li` element overrides that direction for that specific list item. The challenge here is that the *content* of a list item and the handling/alignment/decoration of the list item probably ought to be separate. Consider this list: ``` <ul dir=ltr> <li>This is left to right <li dir=rtl>هذا من اليمين إلى اليسار </ul> ``` The bullet decoration on the second (arabic) item displays on the *right* side. To get consistent presentation and still get proper bidi one needs to have a `span` or `bdi` for the content: ``` <ul dir=ltr> <li>This is left to right <li><span dir=rtl>هذا من اليمين إلى اليسار </span> </ul> ``` @r12a This is similar to our discussions of the handling of quote marks on the `q` element. -- GitHub Notification of comment by aphillips Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/i18n-drafts/issues/309#issuecomment-888487215 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
