direction

Warning: Where possible, authors are encouraged to avoid using the direction CSS property and use the HTML dir global attribute instead.

The direction CSS property sets the direction of text, table and grid columns, and horizontal overflow. Use rtl for languages written from right to left (like Hebrew or Arabic), and ltr for those written from left to right (like English and most other languages).

Note that text direction is usually defined within a document (e.g., with HTML’s dir attribute) rather than through direct use of the direction property.

The property sets the base text direction of block-level elements and the direction of embeddings created by the unicode-bidi property. It also sets the default alignment of text, block-level elements, and the direction that cells flow within a table or grid row.

Syntax example: direction: ltr;
