HTML bdo
Created By: chatGPT
The
<bdo> (Bidirectional Override) HTML tag is used to override the current text direction. This can be useful when displaying text in languages that read from different directions, such as Arabic or Hebrew alongside English. The most common use is to ensure that certain parts of text are displayed correctly regardless of the document's overall direction.<bdo dir="rtl">This text will be displayed from right to left.</bdo>In this example, adding a
dir attribute specifies the direction. The attribute can take two values: ltr (left-to-right) and rtl (right-to-left). For instance, if you want to display a mix of Arabic and English, you can wrap the Arabic text in a <bdo> tag with dir="rtl".<p>Here is an example: <bdo dir="rtl">مرحبا بكم في موقعنا</bdo> and here is English text.</p>The
<bdo> element does not have any specific styling on its own; it strictly serves to control the text direction. You can style the text within it like any other text in HTML. It's essential to use this tag only when necessary because excessive use may disrupt the natural reading flow of content.<style>
.bdo-highlight {
font-weight: bold;
color: blue;
}
</style>
<p>This is standard text. <bdo class="bdo-highlight" dir="rtl">هذا نص محدد باللون الأزرق</bdo> and more standard text.</p>Using
<bdo> appropriately can aid in making your web content accessible and readable for users of different languages. Ensure you test the output on various browsers to confirm the correct display of bidirectional text.<div>
<p>First line of text.</p>
<bdo dir="ltr">This part is left-to-right.</bdo>
<p>Last line of text.</p>
</div>
