When dir='auto', the direction is set according to the first strong character
of the text.
For textarea and pre elements, the heuristic is applied on a per-paragraph level.
If there is no strong character, the direction defaults to LTR." />

Key to entities used below:
א - The Hebrew letter Alef (strongly RTL).
We use text-align:left because neither the dir="auto" nor the unicode-bidi:plaintext
specification states whether text-align:start and text-align:end should obey the paragraph
direction or the direction property in a unicode-bidi:plaintext element.
The ...! paragraph, being neutral, is supposed to be displayed LTR (i.e. as ...!, not as !...)
despite both the paragraph before it and the paragraph after it being all-RTL, which makes the
element as a whole RTL.
