Bidi support for lists about markdown-it-bidi HOT 5 CLOSED

bad in the sense that there is no communication

@ahangarha Yeah we should have a discussion about it, the thing is I just wanted to give you enough time to take a look at my implementation to have a better idea about it.

I would prefer to go slow with one or two libraries and find issues

Of course, by "wanting to implement bidi support for other libraries" I meant one specific library that I'm interested to work on (comrak). Otherwise, I can't think of any other libraries (except marked).

Thank you for your insightful investigation.

Since before also we had discussion regarding nested elements, I think we need to drop support for nested elements and only keep adding dir="auto" only to the root level elements. This includes blockquote.

Supporting nested elements should be postponed.

@ahangarha So we will end up implementing it anyway 😅

At this point, there is no reason to postpone nested elements support, we are already 1 month late for our schedule and we still haven't made real progress yet. The solutions are available for both blockquotes and tables and it's all about making a decision.

I believe that we should take a step forward and start preparing to write an initial specification for bidi-markdown. An incomplete spec isn't something that I'm willing for. I'm kind of in a rush since I'm supposed to implement bidi support for other libraries.

I'm going to write a full implementation in a separate branch then I'll let you review it. If you're okay with it we can go ahead and adopt it.

It both sounds good and bad. Good in the sense that you have ideas for implementation and bad in the sense that there is no communication on it. But it is good to make progress.

I would prefer to go slow with one or two libraries and find issues. I believe we need to take some steps in improving standards. In this sense I think it is better to have limited projects involved so that any future breaking change would have lesser negative impacts.

I suggest to not speed up this fast. It might make our work more difficult in future.
