17.3.1.6 bidi

This element specifies that this paragraph shall be displayed from right to left. This property only affects the following set of paragraph-level properties:

This setting alone does not affect the ordering of text within the paragraph – see the rtl element (17.3.2.30) for a detailed description.

This element specifies that the base direction of the text within the paragraph is right-to-left (see HL1 in the Unicode Standard Annex #9). See also Part 1, I.2.

[Example: Consider a paragraph with the bidi property set as follows:

<w:p>
  <w:pPr>
    <w:bidi/>
  </w:pPr>
  …
</w:p>

This paragraph direction is now right to left, which means that all paragraph properties are displayed right to left (e.g. the paragraph marker glyph (if any) is displayed on the right, and indentation for the first line of the paragraph occurs on the right side of the page). end example]

This element’s content model is defined by the common boolean property definition in 17.17.4.
