There is no HTML attribute "direction"; do you mean "dir"?

The ";" seems extra/broken as well in your examples.

(The PDF rendered still may or may not actually pay any attention.)

The test page does snow pdf export not respecting <div dir="rtl">

The following four cases are handled correct. If there are more ways to indicate a direction switch in html/css let me know

<div dir="ltr;">
text. this does actually not switch anything. the semicolon is responsible for breaking this.
</div>

<div dir="ltr">
text
</div>

<div style="direction:ltr;">
text
</div>

<div style="direction:ltr">
text
</div>

Hi volker,

in mediawiki and fa.wiki also we have
<div class="rtl">
text
</div>
<div class="ltr">
text
</div>

I'll update the render servers later today

in rtl wikis when we wright Latin word inside text we have to use <span style="direction:ltr; unicode-bidi:embed;"></span> for correcting () and other symbols place is it possible to correct it?

for example:
http://fa.wikipedia.org/wiki/%DA%A9%D8%A7%D8%B1%D8%A8%D8%B1:Reza1615/pdf

<span style="direction:ltr; unicode-bidi:embed;">.com</span>

Using "دریافت به‌صورت PDF" (errm, Firefox fails to properly copy the order of these words...) on https://fa.wikipedia.org/wiki/%DA%A9%D8%A7%D8%B1%D8%A8%D8%B1:Reza1615/pdf3#direction , everything is aligned to the right. :(
