.rtlTermCell {

text-direction: rtl;

text-align: right;

}

Shervin: We don’t need those Bidi marks. Because this is a problem in our HTML/CSS code, and by fixing that the text will look good and we won’t need the marks.
... We also need to move the direction setting from CSS to HTML.

<r12a> 1. remove bdi

Richard: By moving the direction to HTML, we can drop that CSS class completey. Less classes and cleaner.

<r12a> 2. add dir="rtl" lang="ar"

<r12a> 3. remove class="rtlTermCell"
