You need to whitelist the `dir` attribute. I previously had this working in a plugin, but some changes have been made to the way text is rendered in the latest Discourse release. [Now in master: ES6 Modules + Text Rendering](https://meta.discourse.org/t/now-in-master-es6-modules-text-rendering/46815)  
It won’t be difficult to get it working again.
