For review: Strings and bidi

A draft of a new article, Strings and bidi is out for wide review. We are looking for comments by Tuesday 15 August.

This article illustrates problems that can arise when strings, such as those used in JSON or string-based data formats, are inserted into text and then displayed to users given different directional contexts: left-to-right (LTR) vs. right-to-left (RTL).

Please send any comments as github issues by clicking on this link, or on “Leave a comment” at the bottom of the article. (This will add some useful information to your comment.)
