HTML Bdi Tag

Bidirectional Text can be written in HTML using the HTML BDI Tag. In other words we can say that whenever we want to write bidirectional text in html we use the HTML BDI Tag.

BDI Stands for Bi-directional Isolation.

HTML BDI Tag segregates the part of the text which is arranged in a dissimilar way from the text neighboring it.

The bidirectional text isolation is pretty useful when we are dealing with content generated by users and we are uncertain about the direction of the text that may be generated.

Note: Bdi tag is new in HTML 5
