+type: text/vnd.tiddlywiki
+
+The ''\dir'' [[pragma|Pragmas]] is used to set the text direction of text within a tiddler -- see [[Right-To-Left Languages]].
+
+* `\dir ltr` – sets text direction to left-to-right
+* `\dir rtl` – sets text direction to right-to-left
+* `\dir auto` – causes the browser to attempt to automatically deduce the text direction
