## Options

### inlineDirection

The `inlineDirection` option allows you to specify the direction of the inline axe. The default value is `left-to-right` respectively which would match any latin language.

You might want to tweak these value if you are using a different writing system, such as Arabic, Hebrew or Chinese for example.

```js
postcssLogicalFloatAndClear({
	inlineDirection: 'right-to-left'
})
```

```pcss
.element {
	clear: inline-start;
	float: inline-end;
}

/* becomes */

.element {
	clear: right;
	float: left;
}
```

Each direction must be one of the following:

- `top-to-bottom`
- `bottom-to-top`
- `left-to-right`
- `right-to-left`

Please do note that transformations won't run if `inlineDirection` becomes vertical.
