This text is left to right This text is right to left |
In the HTML BDo Tag example output, we can see that the text “This text is right to left” is actually rendered from right to left because we have wrapped the text in HTML Bdo Tag and have used the value of “dir” attribute as “rtl”.
Notice the use of “dir” attribute to orient the text from right to left.
