monks/direction

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.
