title: How do I make text reverse direction in HTML?
body: <p>I am working on a creative website featuring silly limericks. I would like to display each line of the limerick in an alternating direction. That is, I want it in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boustrophedon">boustophedon form</a>. I was wondering if this was possible with just HTML.</p>
  
  <p>As an example, I would like to be able to write markup that looks something like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;p&gt;
    &lt;forward&gt;There once was a young lady with pride,&lt;br&gt;
    &lt;backward&gt;who ate fourteen green apples and died.&lt;br&gt;
    &lt;forward&gt;Within the lamented,&lt;br&gt;
    &lt;backward&gt;the apple fermented&lt;br&gt;
    &lt;forward&gt;and made cider inside her insides.
  &lt;/p&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>which would display something like this</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>
    There once was a young lady with pride,<br>
    .deid dna selppa neerg neetruof eta ohw<br>
    Within the lamented,<br>
    detnemref elppa eht<br>
    and made cider inside her insides.
    </p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>For this example, I just manually wrote the text backwards, but I don't want to have to keep doing that since it's a very tedious process. It would be nice if I could do this in pure HTML, without having to do any scripting to dynamically manipulate the text.</p>
