http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=10808 Summary: i18n comment 2 : new dir attribute value: auto, and a new attribute: autodirmethod Product: HTML WG Version: unspecified Platform: PC OS/Version: Windows XP Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: HTML5 spec (editor: Ian Hickson) AssignedTo: ian@hixie.ch ReportedBy: public-i18n-bidi@w3.org QAContact: public-html-bugzilla@w3.org CC: mike@w3.org, public-html-wg-issue-tracking@w3.org, public-html@w3.org, public-i18n-bidi@w3.org Comment from the i18n review of: http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/ Comment 2 At http://www.w3.org/International/reviews/html5-bidi/ Editorial/substantive: S Tracked by: AL Location in reviewed document: undefined [http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/spec.html#contents] Comment:Make simple direction estimation functionality available in the browser by allowing the dir attribute to take on a new "auto" value indicating that the user agent is responsible for estimating the direction of the element's contents according to an algorithm specified by a new attribute, autodirmethod=first-strong|any-rtl. This is a part of the proposals made by the "Additional Requirements for Bidi in HTML" W3C First Public Working Draft. For a full description of the use cases and the details of this proposal, please see http://www.w3.org/International/docs/html-bidi-requirements/#auto-direction [http://www.w3.org/International/docs/html-bidi-requirements/#auto-direction] . In addition, also allow a third autodirmethod value, "plaintext", which would estimate the direction of each UBA paragraph in the element separately. This is intended primarily for the <textarea> and <pre> elements, where taking as input and displaying (mostly plain) text consisting of paragraphs with different directions is a fairly common need. The CSS3 spec already provides support for this feature via a new unicode-bidi value, "plaintext" (http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css3-text-layout/#unicode-bidi). However, some aspects of the feature still need to be worked out at this time. -- 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.
