I was going to suggest using PDF rather than LRE to close off the right-to-left bit, but it turns out that `&#x202c;` actually is PDF…

AFAIK it is custom to present BiDi issues to a mostly-English-reading audience using small letters for the LTR text and capitals for the RTL. So Yaron’s example becomes:

"I wrote

[ETAVIRP gitlab](https://gitlab.com) A NI
(note Hebrew places adjectives after their nouns -Shai)

"And ended up with

[gitlab ETAVIRP](https://gitlab.com) A NI

I hope this makes the issue easier to see.
