Aligning text to the right

[ilanphoto]

Being from Israel, one of the disadvantages is that we write from right to left. In a web environment it is quite difficult

How can I align one block of text - English to the left and another block - Hebrew to the right?

Thanks
Ilan

Are these blocks of text within your gallery description? If so, there are several ways to do this.

One way is to enclose the block you want to right-align in paragraph <p> tags and use text-align, like this

Code: Select all

<p style="text-align: right">This is a test paragraph which will appear aligned to the right</p>


I had a quick look at your gallery and it looks like you are nearly there already - you just need to replace

Code: Select all

   <p style="color: black; margin-left: 20px">


with

Code: Select all

   <p style="color: black; margin-left: 20px; text-align:right">

One small issue associated with using "p" and other similar classes in the codes is the extra line breaks you might end up with. If you don't want these line breaks, you should use something similar to

Code: Select all

<p style="color: black; margin-left: 20px; text-align:right; display:inline">

Thank you both

My problem was that I was trying to use align = right as I had seen it used in the CSS so now I will try the text-align:

Well I see you copied the scroller code from my gallery. Didn't you see the dir="rtl" attribute? Now you can put a dot at the end of each line...

you can also use, filter: flipV()

then it would be truly reading from left to right
