I am creating a simple html/css page using bootstrap 4.3.1 . In one paragraph, I will be using some arabic text which needs to show up in a right-to-left format.
I have tried to use direction:rtl
in css
, dir="rtl"
in html
and bidi-override
as well. But nothing seems to be working. I think it has got something to do with bootstrap 4.3.1 but I could be wrong. I am unable to understand where I am going wrong and would greatly appreciate any help.
This is my html
<div class="row justify-content-center">
<div class="col-sm-6" style="border:1px solid black">
<div class="row">
<div class="ayat_box">
<div class="ayat_ar">
<p class="ayat_ar_txt">
حَتَّى إِذَا جَاءَ أَمْرُنَا وَفَارَ التَّنُّورُ قُلْنَا احْمِلْ فِيهَا مِنْ كُلٍّ زَوْجَيْنِ اثْنَيْنِ وَأَهْلَكَ إِلَّا مَنْ سَبَقَ عَلَيْهِ الْقَوْلُ وَمَنْ آَمَنَ وَمَا آَمَنَ مَعَهُ إِلَّا قَلِيلٌ <span class="ayat_period">٣</span>
</p>
</div>
<div class="ayat_en">
<p class="ayat_en_txt">
some content in ltr
</p>
</div>
<div class="ayat_exp">
<p class="ayat_exp_p">
some content in ltr
</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="ayat_box" style="background: pink">
This is another box
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
This is my css:
.ayat_box
{
width: 700px;
margin:0 auto;
}
.ayat_ar
{
background: pink;
}
.ayat_ar_txt
{
direction:rtl;
font-family: arial;
font-size:25px;
}
.ayat_period
{
display:inline-block;
border-radius:50%;
border:1px solid black;
padding-left:5px;
padding-right:5px;
}
There are two strict requirements for enabling RTL in Bootstrap-powered pages. Set dir="rtl" on the <html> element. Add an appropriate lang attribute, like lang="ar" , on the <html> element.
The direction CSS property sets the direction of text, table columns, and horizontal overflow. Use rtl for languages written from right to left (like Hebrew or Arabic), and ltr for those written from left to right (like English and most other languages).
For example, the en-US locale (for US English) specifies left-to-right. Most Western languages, as well as many others around the world, are written LTR. The opposite of LTR, RTL (Right To Left) is used in other common languages, including Arabic ( ar ) and Hebrew ( he ).
There are two ways to start using Bootstrap 4 on your own web site. You can: Include Bootstrap 4 from a CDN. Download Bootstrap 4 from getbootstrap.com.
Just add text-right
to align text right and dir="rtl"
to make the right-to-left direction:
<p class="ayat_ar_txt text-right" dir="rtl">
حَتَّى إِذَا جَاءَ أَمْرُنَا وَفَارَ التَّنُّورُ قُلْنَا احْمِلْ فِيهَا مِنْ كُلٍّ زَوْجَيْنِ اثْنَيْنِ وَأَهْلَكَ إِلَّا مَنْ سَبَقَ عَلَيْهِ الْقَوْلُ وَمَنْ آَمَنَ وَمَا آَمَنَ مَعَهُ إِلَّا قَلِيلٌ <span class="ayat_period">٣</span>
