description & Usage
<bdo> tag can reverse the text direction (right to left or left to right).
The <bdo> tag has a dir attribute which can have two values:
- ltr: This sets the text direction to run from left to right, which stands for Left To Right.
- rtl: This sets the text direction to run from right to left, which stands for Right To Left.
The <bdo> tag stands for Bi-Directional Override which means to override bidirectionally.
Notes
Note: Using the dir attribute is mandatory.
Note: As you can see in the example code above, the <bdo> tag reverses the text character by character which is different than using direction in CSS.
