<BDO>

Each language has an inherent directionality, detected by the browser's bidirectional algorithm. This algorithm and the dir attribute generally suffice to manage embedded direction changes. In those situations where the bidirectional algorithm results in incorrect presentation the BDO element allows authors to turn off the bidirectional algorithm for selected fragments of text.

So far only Internet Explorer 5 supports this tag. Possible attributes are:
