How dir Was Used

HTML <dir> specified an HTML directory listing just like an un-ordered list. HTML5 no longer supports this element.

<dir>
  <li>HTML</li>
  <li>CSS</li>
  <li>JavaScript</li>
</dir>

compact (DEPRECATED)

It indicates that a list should be presented in a compact style. The actual results depend on the user agent. compact is not supported in HTML5.

Note: apply CSS line-height property instead.

<dir compact>
  <li>HTML</li>
  <li>CSS</li>
  <li>JavaScript</li>
</dir>
