direction
The four directions into which content can be laid out.
Possible values are:
ltr: Left to right.rtl: Right to left.ttb: Top to bottom.btt: Bottom to top.
These values are available globally and also in the direction type's scope, so you can write either of the following two:
#stack(dir: rtl)[A][B][C]
#stack(dir: direction.rtl)[A][B][C]
