Mixed Arabic/English tables wrong cell order

Bug graveyard
#1

If I have the following table:

|  A  |  B  |  C  |
| --- | --- | --- |
|     |  ب  |  ا  |

it renders with the Arabic cells in the wrong order:

Inserting an extra English column inbetween the Arabic columns results in correct behaviour:

|  A  |  B  |  C  |  D  |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
|     |  ا  |  x  |  ب  |

Turning on RTL in the editor is not what I want, because the headings are in the order C B A.

Support mixing RTL and LTR in tables
#2

We don’t support mixing LTR/RTL yet. And if/when we do, I am not sure the support will extent do tables. Not even markdown spec covers this case.

Please, open a feature request.
