Changing direction is simple - it can be done in two ways:
1. <span dir="rtl">text</span>
2. <span style="CSSstyle">text</span>
and in the CSS page, something like:
.CSSstyle {
text-align: right;
}
(and you can of course use the corresponding "ltr" and "left" (CSS) to
switch from left-to-right and right-to-left inside a document)
at any case, in hebrew (and arabic, and all the rest of RTL languages),
the whole page would look nicer (more readable) if completely aligned
right-to-left with <html dir="rtl">, and only rendered LTR on the non-RTL
parts of it...
