The <bdo> element (Bi-Directional Override) overrides the current directionality of text, so that the text within is rendered in a different direction.
The text's characters are drawn from the starting point in the given direction; the individual characters' orientation is not affected (so characters don't get drawn backward, for example).
It has a dir attribute to specify the direction in which text should be rendered in this element's contents. Possible values are:
-
ltr: Indicates that the text should go in a left-to-right direction. -
rtl: Indicates that the text should go in a right-to-left direction.
Most browsers will display the <bdo> element with the following default CSS value:
bdo {
unicode-bidi: bidi-override;
}
- Type: inline
- Self-closing: No
- Semantic value: No
