 <p>Some notes about the markup used. The <code translate=no>bdi</code> element is used to ensure that example characters that are [=right-to-left=] do not interfere with the layout of the page. The <code translate=no>lang</code> attribute should be filled in with the most appropriate [[BCP47]] [=language tag=] to get the correct font selection (and other processing) for a given context. Examples in East Asian languages (such as Chinese, Japanese, or Korean) or in the Arabic script can sometimes require greater care in choosing a language tag.</p>
