Maybe already answered but a few comments to questions from Jens: 2020年12月5日(土) 6:08 Jens Tröger <jens.troeger@light-speed.de>: > > And how does the `dir` global attribute fit in: > > https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Global_attributes/dir `dir` and `writing-mode` are similar to determine text flow, but are different in that: 1. The `dir` is semantic for bidirectional languages, hence it is defined in HTML. There is no, for example, Arabic in LTR. 2. Vertical text flow is a stylish choice. A content can be styled either in horizontal or vertical. Hence it is defined in CSS.
