This property specifies the default primary text direction.
The DirectionType enumeration may take the following values:
- Default - left-to-right reading direction
- LeftToRight - left-to-right reading direction (e.g. English)
- RightToLeft - right-to-left reading direction (e.g. Hebrew).
If a run of English (left-to-right) text is followed by a run of Hebrew (right-to-left) text,
LeftToRight gives English text on the left and Hebrew text on the right, whereas
RightToLeft gives English text on the right and Hebrew text on the left. In any case,
the English text is still left-to-right, and the Hebrew text is still right-to-left.
To support ligatures (glyph shaping) and right-to-left text, LeftToRight or
RightToLeft must be specified at least once somewhere. It can be in this property
or in the dir attribute of StyleRun
(for Doc.AddHtml).
If only Default is specified, there will be no ligature support and right-to-left text
may appear incorrect.
