Research direction

Start by locating the Windows editor and comparing its Arabic writing behavior with the Markdown preview shown in the issue. Determine whether the requested change is right-to-left editing, RTF support, or both, then verify that Arabic text can be edited in the same direction and remains correctly represented in the preview.
