The direction property is used in
conjunction with the unicode-bidi
property when you want to change the direction of your text. If the
unicode-bidi property is set to bidi-override
or embed, you can set the direction property's
value to ltr to have your text read from
"left-to-right" or you can set it's value to rtl
to have your text read from "right-to-left". You can also set it's
value to inherit to have it use the same direction
value as it's parent.
