HTML bdo tag

bdo stands for 'bi directional override'. <bdo> tag specifies the directional-formatting of text.

Example
Try it
<p>This is one of the <bdo dir="rtl">most</bdo> amazing tool</p>
<p>That text was <bdo dir="rtl">reversed</bdo> </p>

This is one of the most amazing tool

That text was reversed

The dir attribute decides the direction of text for the bdo tag. The text direction may be right to left or left to right. This tag overrides the direction of text from the normal directionality.
