10 In [modern browsers](http://caniuse.com/css-sel2) (i.e. not IE6) it
11 should be possible to make CSS conditional on any attribute, not
12 just class, so you could maybe do something like this:
13
14     /* ikiwiki's existing CSS */
15     .sidebar {
16         float: right;
17         margin-left: 4px;
18     }
19
20     /* new */
21     html[dir=\"rtl\"] .sidebar {
22         float: left;
23         margin-left: 0px;
24         margin-right: 4px;
25     }
26
27 If you contributed a patch for `style.css` to make markup like this
28 \"just work\", I'd be happy to review it. (`notebox` could use the
29 same technique).
