<para>Sets direction of text flow and text alignment based on locale.
|
|
The value is normally taken from the gentext file for the
|
|
lang attribute of the document's root element, using the
|
|
key name 'writing-mode' to look it up in the gentext file.
|
|
But the param can also be
|
|
set on the command line to override that gentext value.
