 * No idea honestly. I didn’t write the JS/CSS my plugin uses.
 * You may need to make a custom CSS file.

 * I did wrap the whole code in a `<p dir="rtl">` but that didn’t help. CSS didn’t
   help either.
 * **Any idea where exactly is the JS formatting?**

 * Hey Tawqee3
 * I had the same problem, all you have to do is simple fix in the core CSS file:
   
   wp-content/plugins/syntaxhighlighter/syntaxhighlighter/styles/shCore.css
 * Add the following in this .syntaxhighlighter classname:
    direction: ltr !important;
 * Thie forces the main div to render the text inside it to LTR on RTL pages.
 * Regards,
    Abdulrahman

 * Modifying that file is no longer needed. I added it to my plugin a long while
   back. 😉
