How to write arabic in github README file?

Question

I need to write arabic (rtl) language in README.md file in github.
So how could I do this?

Answer 1

You can't do this with markdown but you can surely do this with HTML.

<div dir="rtl">

## عنوان

### قائمة

<ul>
  <li>١. البند 1</li>
  <li>٢.البند 2</li>
  <li>٣.البند 3</li>
</ul>

</div>

If just some parts of the document need to be right-to-left:

## <div dir="rtl">عنوان</div>

### <div dir="rtl">قائمة</div>
<div dir="rtl"><ul>
  <li>١. البند 1</li>
  <li>٢.البند 2</li>
  <li>٣.البند 3</li>
</ul></div>

Answer 2

You could consider using ahmadajmi/markdown-arabic which includes a right-to-left markdown editor.
