Hello,

We are building a SharePoint site that its content will be RTL text. We need to apply a CSS rule that will affect only the WebParts not the whole site (SP navigation and menus). For example, if I add a Text webpart it needs to be RTL based on the CSS rule that we have but not the upper menu by SP.

Currently we have the following rule but it takes effect on all site and that's what we don't want:

*{
direction: rtl;
}

Also, not applying such rule or aligning text with built in SP styling will make the RTL text not organized at all specially with numbers and lists.

    Hi @Mohammed Abed

    This will deploy to all element in the page. I will recommend you to use class selector or id selector.

    class selector will deploy the css style to all element which class equal to class1

    .class1 {
      direction: rtl;
    }
    

    Id selector will apply to the HTML element with id="para1"

    #para1 {
      direction: rtl;
    }
