"Paragraph direction" is the term used by UAX#9. I'm trying to use
terminology that is accepted there, so people who know about this or
want to read the description of the Unicode Bidirectional Algorithm
would not be confused.

??? Latin text is always displayed left to right, independent of the
paragraph direction. More generally, text direction is independent of
the paragraph direction.
