fargo 1a822493ba format: apply repo prettier (3.8.1) to the folded skills tree
963 markdown files reformatted with the repository's pinned prettier so
pnpm format:check covers the folded tree like every other repo file.

The formatter's embedded-language pass also normalized code fences
(TS semicolons, closed HTML tags in examples, lowercased CSS hex colors,
one renumbered list that skipped an index). Alphanumeric token deltas vs
the fold commit were audited file-by-file; all are formatter-equivalent
markup normalizations plus the four sanitized skills.

useTextDirection

Reactive dir of the element's text.

Usage

import { useTextDirection } from '@vueuse/core';

const dir = useTextDirection(); // Ref<'ltr' | 'rtl' | 'auto'>

By default, it returns rtl direction when dir rtl is applied to the html tag, for example:

<!--ltr-->
<html>
  ...
</html>

<!--rtl-->
<html dir="rtl">
  ...
</html>

Options

import { useTextDirection } from '@vueuse/core';

const mode = useTextDirection({
  selector: 'body',
}); // Ref<'ltr' | 'rtl' | 'auto'>

Type Declarations

export type UseTextDirectionValue = 'ltr' | 'rtl' | 'auto';
export interface UseTextDirectionOptions extends ConfigurableDocument {
  /**
   * CSS Selector for the target element applying to
   *
   * @default 'html'
