Description
E.g. in output/longtext, if the output is in a LTR language we need to add a dir="ltr" to the wrapping div when viewing in a RTL language so it doesn't get mangled. Same with output/text (except it should be on a wrapping span).

This, of course, assumes that the user is only typing in a single direction throughout their input, which might not be the case (they could type some english and then include an arabic quote, for example), but I don't think the latter use case is common enough ATM to warrant concern.
