direction
The base writing direction of blocks and the direction of embeddings and overrides for the Unicode BIDI algorithm. In addition, it specifies the direction of table column layout, the direction of horizontal overflow, and the position of an incomplete last line in a block in case of 'text-align: justify'. This property only has an effect on text in which the orientation of the glyphs is perpendicular to the inline-progression-direction. Therefore, vertical ideographic text with the initial value for "glyph-orientation-vertical" is not affected by this property; vertical text for which the "glyph-orientation-vertical" property has the value of "90" or "-90" degrees is affected.
