Sandia Reference

Previous versions of HTML have declared <dir> as deprecated. HTML 4.0 does not, instead it recommends the use of <ul>. However, it does show the entire compliment of "standard" attributes. Go figure!

The DIR tag encloses a list of items with a maximum width of 20 characters. (classical description) The intent is that a browser can render this in columns of 24 characters wide. The <DIR> list uses the <li> tags to identify each item in the list.

Example:
<dir>
<lh>Heading
<li>first item
<li>second item
<li>third item
</dir>

Heading

first item

second item

third item

align=

causes horizontal alignment directed by the argument.

"left"

causes the caption to be drawn flush left of the table or figure.
<dir align="left">
<lh>heading
<li>item 1
<li>item 2
<li>item 3
</dir> heading

item 1

item 2

item 3

"right"

causes the caption to be drawn flush right of the table or figure. <dir align="right">
<lh>heading
<li>item 1
<li>item 2
<li>item 3
</dir> heading

item 1

item 2

item 3

"center"

causes the caption to be horizontally centered relative to the centerline of the table or figure. <dir align="center">
<lh>heading
<li>item 1
<li>item 2
<li>item 3
</dir> heading

item 1

item 2

item 3

"justify"

causes the text to be flush left and right. <dir align="justify">
<lh>heading
<li>item 1
<li>item 2
<li>item 3
</dir> heading
