Summary
The
textAlignentry only lists the enum values with no explanation of how they behave under a right-to-left layout direction. This is a recurring source of confusion (e.g. developers expectingtextAlign: 'right'to render visually right in RTL).This adds a short note clarifying that:
'left'/'right'are mirrored under RTL ('left'renders on the visual right, so it acts as the start edge),'center'/'justify'are not mirrored,'start'/'end'value yet (links the tracking issue #45255).Docs only — no behavior change.
