http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=11211 Summary: Need a way to force a line wrap with the bidi semantics of LINE SEPARATOR when necessary. Product: HTML WG Version: unspecified Platform: PC OS/Version: Windows XP Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: pre-LC1 HTML5 spec (editor: Ian Hickson) AssignedTo: ian@hixie.ch ReportedBy: aharon.lists.lanin@gmail.com QAContact: public-html-bugzilla@w3.org CC: mike@w3.org, public-html-wg-issue-tracking@w3.org, public-html@w3.org Bug 10828, when fixed, will define <br> as a paragraph break for bidi purposes, in order to match widespread usage and the way IE and WebKit treat it today (despite the HTML 4 spec saying otherwise). Nevertheless, as bug 10828 states, we still need a way, at times, to force a line wrap with the bidi behavior that the Unicode Bidi Algorithm assigns to the LINE SEPARATOR character, i.e. the bidi behavior that <br> was defined to have in HTML 4.01, and which is the way that Firefox and Opera currently treat <br>. For use case see bug 10828, comment 18. <http://www.w3.org/International/docs/html-bidi-requirements/#br-as-separator> suggests (and bug 10828 used to include) addressing this by adding a bidibreak=soft|hard attribute that would determine the behavior of <br> in its descendants (defaults to hard for the root element). -- Configure bugmail: http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug.
