Evan> Thanks. But what specifically do these lines accomplish?
It means that
---------
line1
line2
line3
---------
is treated as 3 separate paragraphs by the bidi code. With the default
values, youʼd have to write
---------
line1
line2
line3
---------
Why would you care? Itʼs so that you can have different bidi
directions on different lines without having to separate the
paragraphs with newlines (youʼd probably want to turn on
`visual-line-mode' as well).
