Description

Rendering a nested list with mixed BiDi content results in wrong rendering.

Why?

Because the attribute dir="auto" is added to every <ul> element. but it should only be added to the top level ul and the rest shouldn't have it.

Screenshots

This is how this text renders:

but by removing dir="auto" from child

By "fixed" I mean the hierarchy is readable and usable.

Gitea Version

1.23.5

Can you reproduce the bug on the Gitea demo site?

Yes

Operating System

Arch Linux

Browser Version

Firefox developer edition 141
