With CSS-2, however, two properties are provided to cope with this. The direction property is used to specify the direction of text.
Direction is inherited.
Note that of itself direction does not affect the direction of text because directionality is implicit to the text. The unicode-bidi property specifies the behavior in this case. Unicode-bidi is not inherited. The values specify behavior with respect to the Unicode bidirectionality algorithm. Normal means that the element does not open a new embedding level.
