CSS direction

Also see the full, alphabetical list of CSS properties

The CSS direction property is used in conjunction with the 'unicode-bidi' property to specify which direction the text should run (i.e. from left to right or right to left).

Also see the unicode-bidi property.

Syntax:	direction: <value>;
Possible Values:	ltr (left to right) rtl (right to left) inherit
Initial Value:	ltr
Applies to:	All elements
Inherited:	Yes
Media:	Visual
Example:	`p { direction: rtl };`
Try it yourself!	<style type="text/css"> p { direction: rtl }; </style> <p>This text has had its properties set using the direction property.</p> <p><b>Note</b>: The direction property is mainly used for languages that run from left to right or both. If you are using english characters, try adding some punctuation to see what effect they have, for example, a full stop at the end of a paragraph.</p>
