| Anyhow,
happily, the answer to your question is pretty easy. To turn a whole page
into right-to-left, just add a little something to the html tag (the one
that actually says "html"), so it now says:
< html dir="rtl" >
(I put spaces after the < and the
> to make sure your email program didn't attempt to turn my example into
html. When you're doing the real thing, you'd take those spaces out, of
course.)
To turn just a paragraph into right-to-left,
you apply the same attribute/value to the paragraph tag:
p dir="rtl"
or, if you need a change of direction
in the middle of a right-to-left page, say for example if you had an English
sentence in the middle, then it's a simple matter of:
p dir="ltr"
Of course, nothing is simple. Arabic
has a nasty habit of putting their numbers in left-to-right order just
like English does. The DIR attribute handles this stuff just fine, but
I tried to understand how it works its magic and almost sprained my brain.
If you're curious, though, there's some information and interesting examples

Best,
