Comment from the i18n review of: http://www.w3.org/TR/2003/CR-css3-ruby-20030514/ Comment 4 At http://www.w3.org/International/reviews/0505-css3-ruby/ Editorial/substantive: S Owner: RI Location in reviewed document: 4.1 [http://www.w3.org/TR/2003/CR-css3-ruby-20030514/#rubypos] Comment: "In order to achieve that effect, vertical-ideographic layout should be set on each individual ruby. That can be accomplished with the following simple CSS rule: ruby.bopomofo { writing-mode: tb-rl }" This is not sufficient. The accents in bopomofo ruby are not displayed as a unidirectional run of text. Bopomofo accents are non-combining characters that in memory follow the sequence of bopomofo alphabetic characters spelling out a syllable. However, the second to fourth tones are displayed in a separate vertical column to the right of the alphabetic characters, and the neutral tone marker is displayed as a dot above the column of alphabetic characters.Received on Wednesday, 19 September 2007 14:01:53 GMT
