HTML <bdo> Element

The <bdo> tag is used to override the text direction of its parent element, allowing you to change the direction of text display in HTML. <bdo> stands for "Bi-Directional Override".

Example:

In the following example, we will use the <bdo> tag to change the direction of text display:

<p>Normal text in English</p>
<bdo dir="rtl">Text in Arabic</bdo>

In the above example, the first paragraph displays text in English from left to right. The <bdo> tag with the dir="rtl" attribute changes the direction of the text to display in Arabic from right to left.

Attributes of the <bdo> Tag:

Now, let's see an example using the <bdo> tag with both attributes:

<bdo dir="rtl" align="right">Text aligned to the right in Arabic</bdo>

In the above example, the text is displayed in Arabic from right to left and aligned to the right side of the page.

Summary:

• The <bdo> tag is used to override the text direction of its parent element.
• The dir attribute specifies the direction of text display (left-to-right or right-to-left).
• The align attribute specifies the alignment of text display (left, center, or right).
