<p>In most inscriptions, the direction of text is a feature of the language and writing system. Greek and Latin and usually written left-to-right; Arabic and Hebrew are usually written right-to-left. Some inscriptions are exceptions to this, but nonetheless well-defined, such a boustrophedon Greek inscriptions, in which odd-numbered lines are left-to-right, even-numbered right-to-left. In these cases, nothing special needs to be indicated in the Leiden edition nor in the EpiDoc markup.</p>

<p>Where a line of text is unexpectedly or unpredictably in a different direction or orientation than usual, this information may be indicated in Leiden with an arrow in the right margin of the text; pointing left in the case of right-to-left text, or right in the case of unexpectedly left-to-right text. Examples might include a line of right-to-left Greek or Latin in an otherwise unidirectional text; two subsequext left-to-right lines in an otherwise regular boustrophedon; writing in dipinti on an archaic Greek vase, which annotates human figures in a variety of orientations. In all cases, the text woud generally be transcribed according to the usual direction of the writing system used—left to right for Greek or Latin.</p>

<p>To explicitly record the non-standard direction of a line of writing in an inscription or other text, therefore, EpiDoc recommends the use of the <att>style</att> attribute on the <gi>lb</gi> immediately preceding the line of text in question. The value of <att>style</att> is based on the CSS class "direction" (although note that this is not intended as a processing instruction to render the text, but rather as a description of the source), with values "ltr" (left-to-right) or "rtl" (right-to-left).</p>
