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 עִברִית (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)

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。

from Japanese Wikipedia

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]
