We now have (basic) language support
## As of the most recent deploy, users now have the ability to mark text as a certain language! Users can now add `lang` attributes to html. For example, this is inline Hebrew ``` > This is <span lang='he'>עִברִית</span> (Hebrew)! ``` > This is <span lang='he'>עִברִית</span> (Hebrew)! and this is a quote in Japanese. ``` <blockquote lang='ja'> 日本語(にほんご、にっぽんご[注 1])は、主に日本国内や日本人同士の間で使用されている言語である。 </blockquote> from [Japanese Wikipedia](https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/日本語) ``` ><blockquote lang='ja'> >日本語(にほんご、にっぽんご[注 1])は、主に日本国内や日本人同士の間で使用されている言語である。 ></blockquote> > >from [Japanese Wikipedia](https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/日本語) Unfortunately, this language tagging is only available by using html. Our Markdown implementation does not have the ability to set the language attribute. ----- ## What changes? There won't be many visible changes for the time being; however, this paves the way for us to finally typeset text differently depending on the language. No more ugly text![^1][^2] [^1]: Ugly is subjective [^2]: We haven't actually *done* the different typesetting yet
