Is it posible to configure the language / text direction for a single Markdown file?

Hi!

Thank you for providing & maintaing this excellent theme!

In the fpdf2 open source project, we have a tutorial translated in various language.
A contributor recently provided an Hebrew translation, using <div dir="rtl"> to set the proper text direction.
However this breaks the Markdown parsing: https://pyfpdf.github.io/fpdf2/Tutorial-he.html

Hence my question: is it posible to configure the language / text direction for a single Markdown file?
Hopefully through YAML metada or mkdocs.yml?

I have read the documentation on Changing the language,
the discussion on Multilingual setup and search the issues & discussions about this,
but could not find any answer so far.

For reference, using the markdown-in-html Markdown extension did not solve the issue

When you say it didn't help, did you utilize it properly?

<div dir="rtl" markdown="1">

Seems to work for me when I enable markdown-in-html and use <div dir="rtl" markdown="1">. I just copied the content of that page into a local project to see how it was rendered.

Wonderful, thank you!
Problem solved 🥳

I did not realize that markdown="1" was also required...
Is this documented somewhere?

Thank you for your help @facelessuser,
and for the time you took to test this!

Yes, Material actually links to the specified extensions documentation: https://python-markdown.github.io/extensions/md_in_html/. You should find everything you need to know there. Material mainly mentions what it supports and how to enable it, but doesn't go into exhaustive documentation on how to use the extension, usually, you have to read that extension's official documentation for more info.
