+#### Does GitBook supports RTL/bi-directional text ?
+
+The GitBook format supports right to left, and bi-directional writing. To enable it, you either need to specify a language (ex: `ar`), or force GitBook to use RTL in your `book.json`:
+
+``` json
+{
+ "language": "ar",
+ "direction": "rtl"
+}
+```
+
+With version 3.0 of GitBook, it's automatically detected according to the content.
+_Note that, while the output book will indeed respect RTL, the Editor doesn't support RTL writing yet_.

#### Should I use an `.html` or `.md` extensions in my links?
You should always use paths and the `.md` extensions when linking to your files, GitBook will automatically replace these paths by the appropriate link when the pointing file is referenced in the Table of Contents.
