I.5 PresentationML

Within the context of a presentation document, additional bidirectional support is specifically applicable, and is described below.

At the presentation level in PresentationML, the rtl attribute (see 19.2.1.26) specifies the orientation of the editing and slide show views of the user interface, either left-to-right or right-to-left. If this attribute is omitted, the user interface is automatically left-to-right. This attribute does not affect any other object within the presentation.

The following example shows the effect of the RTL attribute in the normal view:

Side Content Region

Slide Region
