BIDI: List items should support and retain correct base language direction

[Damian]

It should be possible to set correct base language direction for graphical items such as numbered and bullet lists.

When creating a list from some existing content, the new list should retain the original language direction.

e.g. the following selection

<p dir="rtl">
   Line 1 <br/>
   Line 2 <br/>
   Line 3 <br/>
</p>

should become

<ul dir="rtl">
	<li>asdasdsadas</li>
	<li>sdfsdfsdfsdfsdf</li>
	<li>sdfsdfsdfsdfsdfsdf</li>
</ul>

the operation should also be reversible.

I will implement dialog extensions for language direction selection together with table element.

Ok, the provided solution is simplistic, but good for the generic usage case. It works well when "creating" lists, but the fix for the opposite, "removing" lists, is still not there, so we loose the dir attribute when removing lists.

[Frederico Caldeira Knabben]

// Should we set DIR attribute on this one ?

Well... more or less...

We don't need the dir creation on that "else" block, but we can instead simply force it entering on the "if" block if "dir" is defined. In that case, it'll create a <div dir="...">.

Additionally, it looks like the code throws error in IE when creating an editor.

I hope i've got you point right adding the variable dir to the condition. It doesn't seem to cause any issues.

I can't reproduce any problem on IE after testing all 3 versions of it. Could you please drop some hint about it ?

Sorry, my confusion. This problem is with #5909.

Fixed with [5677].
