We have GitHub pages working with a simple CSS hack.
Something to research to achieve perfect rendering of a mix of RTL and LTR text is Bi-directional text:
Then what we can try to use is
Github doesn't want to solve this simple problem. I can fix bidi with ease. But there is no willing from their side.
And this is what Free Software and Open Source community deserve when they use a proprietary platform.
Upon a quick search for RTL-capable text editors I got an impression that corporations backing them (Microsoft, Adobe, etc) do not hurry to fix RTL issues in that software as well.
Looking back at our trivial CSS hacks for @Insaf01 's decred-arabic and decred-journal-ar I believe it's not prohibitively hard to code proper bidi support.
@ahangarha did you have better bidi experience with other Git/Markdown hostings? Could be a good argument for our research of GitHub alternatives (#69).
Gitlab has no issue. Doing anything with css is wrong.
I have fixed this issue on Plume and FluxBB as well. I know how it should be addressed and solved.

Turns out GitHub does not fully support RTL (right to left) text yet, eg. Arabic, Hebrew, etc.
Investigate how to mitigate this.
