Publishing in Arabic, Hebrew, or Persian?

A recent comment on one of my earlier articles made me write this.

Because of the lack of right-to-left (RTL) support I'd probably not use DEV to publish in any of the RTL languages. That is Arabic, Hebrew, and Persian. Instead I'd use one of the Static Site Generators that support RTL and GitHub pages or GitLab pages for free hosting. The only cost is the domain name, if you'd like to have your own.

I personally use mdbook (and another home-made system) to build my own sites/books. here you can see examples of public mdbooks in various languages. You can also see them grouped by language.

Then you might also want to cross-post here if you feel the audience here will be interesting, but I am not sure if the few non-English posts will be even found by the right audience.
