Dear Arabic Mozilla Community,

As you know, Aurora 12 has recently been released [1]. This version
includes a new feature to write mathematical formulas from right to left
using MathML 3. Obviously, this may be relevant to some people from the
arabic community [2]. To use it, one only has to attach an attribute
dir=rtl to <math> elements. See for example [3]. To get a good rendering
of mathematical formulas, it is also important to have the STIX fonts
installed on your computer [4]. Any feedback or question on this new
feature is welcome!
