bidi (Right to Left Paragraph Layout)

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

[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]

Attributes

Description

val (On/Off Value)

Specifies a binary value for the property defined by the parent XML element.

A value of on, 1, or true specifies that the property shall be explicitly applied. This is the default value for this attribute, and is implied when the parent element is present, but this attribute is omitted.

A value of off, 0, or false specifies that the property shall be explicitly turned off.

[Example: For example, consider the following on/off property:

<w:… w:val="off"/>

The val attribute explicitly declares that the property is turned off. end example]

The possible values for this attribute are defined by the ST_OnOff simple type (§2.18.67).
