### Examples

Shows how to detect plaintext document text direction.

```js
// Create a "TxtLoadOptions" object, which we can pass to a document's constructor
// to modify how we load a plaintext document.
let loadOptions = new aw.Loading.TxtLoadOptions();

// Set the "DocumentDirection" property to "DocumentDirection.Auto" automatically detects
// the direction of every paragraph of text that Aspose.words loads from plaintext.
// Each paragraph's "Bidi" property will store its direction.
loadOptions.documentDirection = aw.Loading.DocumentDirection.Auto;

// Detect Hebrew text as right-to-left.
let doc = new aw.Document(base.myDir + "Hebrew text.txt", loadOptions);

expect(doc.firstSection.body.firstParagraph.paragraphFormat.bidi).toEqual(true);

// Detect English text as right-to-left.
doc = new aw.Document(base.myDir + "English text.txt", loadOptions);

expect(doc.firstSection.body.firstParagraph.paragraphFormat.bidi).toEqual(false);
```
