About HTML BDO Tag

What is the BDO tag?

The HTML <bdo> (Bi-Directional Override) tag is used to override the current text direction. It forces text to be displayed in a specific direction, regardless of the natural direction of the characters.

Key Features:

Direction Override: Forces LTR or RTL display
Unicode Handling: Works with all Unicode characters
Accessibility: Helps with proper text rendering
Language Support: Essential for multilingual content

Common Use Cases:

Displaying usernames or IDs that should maintain direction
Showing code or technical content in mixed-language contexts
Creating special text effects
Handling user-generated content with mixed directions
Email addresses and URLs in RTL contexts

Attributes:

dir: Required. Specifies text direction (ltr/rtl)
lang: Optional. Specifies language
class: Optional. CSS class names
style: Optional. Inline CSS styles
title: Optional. Tooltip text

Note: BDO is different from the dir attribute. BDO forces the direction regardless of character types, while dir sets the base direction for the bidirectional algorithm.
