Making HTML text read from right to left

I recently had to create a multilingual website, which was fine apart form the Arabic language. The text had to read from right to left. The answer was to use the direction RTL. Here is it in use.

Code	Output
He said "שלם" (shalom) to me.	He said "שלם" (shalom) to me.

Here is the usage in CSS.

p {
    direction:rtl;
}
