unicode-bidi Attribute | unicodeBidi Property

---

Sets or retrieves the level of embedding with respect to the bidirectional algorithm.

Syntax

HTML	{ unicode-bidi: sEmbedLevel }
Scripting	object.unicodeBidi [ = sEmbedLevel ]

Possible Values

sEmbedLevel

String that specifies one of the following values: normal Element does not open an additional level of embedding. For inline elements, implicit reordering works across element boundaries. embed Element opens an additional level of embedding. The value of the direction property specifies the embedding level. Reordering is implicit inside the element. bidi-override Same as the embed value, except that, inside the element, reordering is strictly in sequence according to the direction property. This value overrides the implicit bidirectional algorithm.

The property is read/write with a default value of normal; the cascading style sheets (CSS) attribute is inherited.

Remarks

The unicodeBidi property is used with the direction property.

The Unicode bidirectional algorithm automatically reverses embedded character sequences according to their inherent direction. For example, the base direction of an English document is left-to-right. If portions of a paragraph within the document contain a language with a right-to-left reading order, the direction of that language displays correctly right-to-left. The user agent applying the bidirectional algorithm correctly reverses the language direction.
