 * When i add new block and press right { ctrl + shift } The code change from
    <
   p>text</p> to <p><p style=”direction: rtl;”>text</p></p>
 * and then when i save this article and reload it again it get error
 * ” This block contains unexpected or invalid content. ”
 * and it show me ( resolve – convert to html ) buttons and when i convert it, it
   works fine.
 * can we add this to the new editor to handle rtl text without error
 * NOTE: my version is 5.1.1
