ArbortextEditor enables you to set the directionality of editing in a document. You can set the direction of a document to be either left-to-right (LTR) or right-to-left (RTL). RTL editing is required for the Arabic and Hebrew locales. The display of the Document Map and the tags in the Edit pane changes based on the directionality of the document. The movement of the cursor through text and the behavior of keys such as home and end also changes based on the current directionality of the document.

ArbortextEditor controls the directionality of editing at the text, element, and document levels.
