<div>{{CSSRef}}</div>
<p><span class="seoSummary">The <strong><code>direction</code></strong> CSS property sets the direction of text, table columns, and horizontal overflow.</span> Use <code>rtl</code> for languages written from right to left (like Hebrew or Arabic), and <code>ltr</code> for those written from left to right (like English and most other languages).</p>
<div>{{EmbedInteractiveExample("pages/css/direction.html")}}</div>
<p>Заметьте, что направление текста обычно задано в документе (т.е. с помощью <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Global_attributes/dir">HTML's <code>dir</code> attribute</a>), а не посредством прямого использования свойства <code>direction</code>.</p>
<p>The property sets the base text direction of block-level elements and the direction of embeddings created by the {{Cssxref("unicode-bidi")}} property. It also sets the default alignment of text, block-level elements, and the direction that cells flow within a table row.</p>
<p>Unlike the <code>dir</code> attribute in HTML, the <code>direction</code> property is not inherited from table columns into table cells, since CSS inheritance follows the document tree, and table cells are inside of rows but not inside of columns.</p>
<p>The <code>direction</code> and {{cssxref("unicode-bidi")}} properties are the two only properties which are not affected by the {{cssxref("all")}} shorthand property.</p>
