Using HelpDocs with RTL Languages
The HelpDocs text editor has a button you can click to switch text direction for RTL (right-to-left) languages like Hebrew. But there's some other parts of your template you'll want to edit to make everything appear in the right (pun intended) direction.

The HelpDocs text editor will automatically switch text direction for RTL (right-to-left) languages like Hebrew when you start typing in those languages. But there's some other parts of your template you'll want to edit to make everything appear in the right (pun intended) direction.
These snippets have been tested with the Boxed (v3next) template. If you're using another template there may be other customizations required.
Our latest templates now support RTL out of the box 📦
The CSS

#main[data-hd-template="boxedinstantv3"] #header input {
padding-right: 3em !important;
}
@media (min-width: 70em) {
#header #search-container.search-responsive span {
margin-right: 6em !important;
}
#article .card.responsive-toc {
margin-right: 0px !important;
margin-left: 0px !important;
}
}
#article .tip-callout::before,
#article .note-callout::before,
#article .warning-callout::before {
margin-right: 40px !important;
}
#article .tip-callout,
#article .note-callout,

The JavaScript
Paste this snippet into Settings > Code > Javascript
<script type="text/javascript">
(function() {
$(function() {
// This assumes you're using the code in a multilingual setup, converting Hebrew to RTL.
// Contact HelpDocs support if you have trouble modifying it for your exact settings!
if ($('body').data().languageCode === 'he') {
$('html').attr('dir', 'rtl');
$('.dropdown-menu-right').removeClass('dropdown-menu-right');
$('#article #body p.meta').css('display', 'none !important;');
$('#category #articles p.card-text img').css('display', 'none !important;');
$('#category #articles p.card-text .text-muted').css('display', 'none !important;');
