      Create QTextEdit.

      Paste this html code to it:

      <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/strict.dtd">
<html><head></head>
<body dir="rtl">
  <table border="1">
    <tr>
      <td>ab cd</td>
      <td>ef gh</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td>ij kl</td>
      <td>mn op</td>
    </tr>
  </table>
</body></html>

      The table cells are RTL, but the table itself is aligned to the right.

      I also tried applying dir="rtl" or style="direction: rtl" to the table tag, but it doesn't help.

      • Same wrong behaviour happens when using QTextCursor::insertTable() method, specifying the QTextTableFormat with layoutDirection attribute set to Qt::RightToLeft.
          • also when drawing the same html code using QTextDocument directly, the RTL direction is not respected.
