dir function

Attribute<GlobalHTMLAttribute> dir(
  1. String value
)

An enumerated attribute indicating the directionality of the element's text. It can have the following values:

  • ltr, which means left to right and is to be used for languages that are written from the left to the right (like English);
  • rtl, which means right to left and is to be used for languages that are written from the right to the left (like Arabic);
  • auto, which lets the user agent decide. It uses a basic algorithm as it parses the characters inside the element until it finds a character with a strong directionality, then it applies that directionality to the whole element.

Implementation

Attribute<GlobalHTMLAttribute> dir(String value) {
  return Attribute('dir', value);
}
