The bdi element
Read OriginalThis article explains the HTML <bdi> (Bidirectional Isolate) element. It details how browsers use the Unicode Bidirectional Algorithm to handle mixed left-to-right and right-to-left text, and how <bdi> isolates content so its direction doesn't affect surrounding text. The author reflects on HTML's declarative power and warns against unnecessarily reimplementing such features in JavaScript.
