# How To: Work with Right-to-Left Languages

Use RTL options when document text must render correctly for right-to-left languages.

### Problem

You need to generate documents in Hebrew, Arabic, or other right-to-left languages.

### Solution 1: RTL for Merge Fields

**Reverse a single field:**

```
{{!Account.Greeting__c RTL="true"}}
```

**Input:** `שלום`\
**Output:** `םולש`

### Solution 2: RTL for Entire Sections

**Reverse a section with static text:**

```
<rtl>reverse</rtl>
<p>Welcome to our company, {{!Account.Name}}!</p>
<p>Your account number is: {{!Account.AccountNumber}}</p>
```

Both static text and merge field data reverse.

### Solution 3: Multi-Line RTL

**Use separate tags for each line:**

```
<rtl>reverse</rtl>
<p>First line of text with {{!Field1}}</p>

<rtl>reverse</rtl>
<p>Second line of text with {{!Field2}}</p>
```

RTL tags do not work well when text wraps across multiple lines.

### Complete RTL Document Example

```
<html dir="rtl">
<head>
  <style>
    body {
      direction: rtl;
      text-align: right;
      font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
    }
  </style>
</head>
<body>
  <rtl>reverse</rtl>
  <h1>{{!Account.Name}}</h1>

  <rtl>reverse</rtl>
  <p>Account ID: {{!Account.AccountNumber}}</p>

  <rtl>reverse</rtl>
  <p>{{!Account.Description__c}}</p>
</body>
</html>
```

### Tips

* `RTL="true"` affects merge field data only.
* `<rtl>` affects static text and merge fields.
* Do not combine both on the same field.
* Use separate `<rtl>` tags for each line.
* Test with real RTL content before rollout.
