As a user of the Farsi, Arabic and Hebrew Wikipedias (despite being unable to read any of the languages) I would suggest that many possible layout problems would be revealed by simply using the RTL layout with familiar text. Having said that the mix of RTL and LTR occurs on all projects and an introduction to techniques and use of ‏ and ‎ ({{Rlm}} and {{Lrm}} for bi-directional text would be useful to many of us. I am not even sure whether the difficulties I have with the text immediately after rtl text "jumping" before it are a feature or a bug. Rich Farmbrough, 11:49, 3 May 2011 (UTC).[reply]
