IMHO, truncating for ellipsis would work similar to hyphenation (for line-breaking), and therefore should always stay semantic: the letters pronounced first stay, and the ones pronounced later would get cut. Also, similar to the original question here, I think it's good to mention the positioning, as well, which, again, I believe works similar to hyphenation. In both cases, the ellipsis and the hyphen, they should be located at end of the line. So, ``` abcdef FEDCBA ``` would be cut as ``` abcdef CBA... ``` Although, it's really hard to define a good behavior if the embedded/isolated text runs over one full line and needs ellipsis/hyphenation while being embedded. I suppose it's safe to just stay with the general rule and, in all embedded cases, always put the ellipsis/hyphen at the *end* side, based on the paragraph (base) direction. -- GitHub Notification of comment by behnam Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/alreq/issues/156#issuecomment-355800821 using your GitHub account
