D.23. Alignment and language direction
Tag
Description
%al
Align the text left
%aL
Align the text left, or to the right if RTL language is in use
%ac
Centre the text
%ar
Align the text right
%aR
Align the text right, or to the left if RTL language is in use
%ax
The next tag should follow the set language direction. When
prepended to a viewport declaration, the viewport will be
horizontally mirrored if the user language is set to a RTL
language. Currently the %Cl, %V and %Vl tags support this.
%Sr
Use as a conditional to define options for left to right, or right
to left languages. %?Sr<RTL|LTR>
All alignment tags may be present in one line, but they need to be in the order left –
centre – right. If the aligned texts overlap, they are merged.
Example:
%ax%V(...)

rameter of a tag to use when the tag has multiple options, e.g.
