The logic of breaking the reference to three parts (with a combination of LTR and RTL)

The text of the link in the HTML code is written as:

, wayawm baṣal yawm ʿasal

The browser displays Arabic text from right to left:

, laṣab mwayaw lasaʿ mway

, wayawm baṣal yawm ʿasal

The browser displays the Arabic text in the same places, and parts of the link remain parts of the link:

, laṣab mwayaw lasaʿ mway

For example, ويوم بصل this link يوم عسل looks torn

Arabic proverb "yawm asal wayawm baṣal" means "The day is like honey, and the day is like onions."
