This commit introduces a new feature enabling Right-to-Left (RTL) layout for docsify sites.
Key changes:
- **Configuration:** Added a new boolean option `rtl` (default: `false`) to `window.$docsify` configuration in `src/core/config.js`. Setting this to `true` enables RTL mode.
- **Styling:**
- Created `src/themes/shared/_rtl.css` with specific styles for RTL layout, including adjustments for text direction, sidebar positioning, and content margins.
- Imported `_rtl.css` into `src/themes/shared/__index.css`.
- **Behavior:** Modified `src/core/Docsify.js` to add a `rtl` class to the `<body>` element when `config.rtl` is true. This class activates the RTL-specific CSS rules.
- **Testing:** Added a new end-to-end test suite in `test/e2e/rtl.test.js` to verify:
- The `rtl` class is applied to the body.
- The sidebar is positioned on the right.
- Content margins are adjusted for the right-hand sidebar.
- **Documentation:** Updated `docs/configuration.md` to document the new `rtl` option, its type, default value, and usage.
This feature addresses your request for better RTL support, allowing you to create documentation sites that cater to RTL languages.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Instead of adding a class, what about using the dir attribute?
<html dir="rtl"> and target the changes in the layout using that as the selector? [dir=rtl] .layout
