17.6.1 bidi

This element specifies that this section shall be presented using a right-to-left page direction. This property only affects section-level properties, and does not affect the layout of text within the contents of this section.

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

<w:sectPr>
  …
  <w:bidi/>
</w:sectPr>

This section direction is now right-to-left, which means that all section level properties are displayed right-to-left (e.g., page numbers are displayed on the right of text; columns are populated from right-to-left). However, the layout of text is determined by properties applied at the text level. end example]

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