How to Use HTML BDO Generator
The HTML <bdo> element, which stands for Bi-Directional Override, is a special tag used to force a specific direction for the text inside it. While the browser normally handles text direction automatically, this tag allows you to take manual control. Its most common use is to create a “reversed” text effect.
Our generator makes using this tag simple and straightforward.
Step 1: Enter Your Text
In the Text to Override field, type or paste the text that you want to affect.
Step 2: Choose the Direction
This is the key setting that controls the output.
- Right-to-Left (rtl): This option will override the default direction and render your text from right to left, character by character. For languages like English, this has the effect of completely reversing the text.
- Left-to-Right (ltr): This is the standard direction for English and many other languages. You would typically only use this to force left-to-right rendering in a document that is otherwise right-to-left.
Step 3: Check the Live Preview
The Live Preview section instantly shows you exactly how your text will be rendered on a webpage with the <bdo> tag applied. This is the best way to see the reversing effect of the rtl setting.
Step 4: Copy Your Code
Once you’re happy with the result in the preview, you can get the code from the output boxes.
- BDO Code: This contains just the
<bdo>tag and your text. This is the snippet you will copy and paste into your website’s content. - HTML BDO Code: This provides a complete, basic HTML page with your
<bdo>tag already included. This is useful for testing purposes.
