The first is <ul dir=ltr> <li>hello</li> <li dir=rtl>HELLO</li> </ul> The second is <ul dir=ltr> <li>hello</li> <li><span dir=rtl>HELLO</span></li> </ul> (Actually, because this case is pure rtl text, the span isn't necessary. But if there is mixed text that could confuse the bidi algorithm, such that you want to mark all of it as rtl, you need to use the span as I have above.) The third and fourth are the same as the first and second, respectively, just with the <ul> set to a shrinkwrap width through some mechanism (such as floating, or being a table cell). ~TJ
