Not that.

What I see differs from what Uwe said he wanted.  See the attached
screenshots.  The "other" screenshot is from LibreOffice.  I cannot read
Hebrew so I have no idea what is Hello or what is David.

Warning: Newbie questions ahead.

I am just trying to get a quick help on Bidi.  I am trying to figure out
what markers would be needed to achieve the rendering in Emacs.  I can
use that as a baseline to form a basic understanding of Bidi.

Is there a Bidirectional mode (think Whitespace mode) whereby I can get
a visual feedback on the markers used in the text?

(I have consulted the Info node briefly. May be multiple readings would
be required to form a good understanding.)

True. I understand that.
