xfq has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/clreq: == Space between characters after joining two lines == ## Background of this issue Something like the following paragraph in an HTML file: ``` Here is an English paragraph that is broken into multiple lines in the source code so that it can more easily read in a text editor. ``` will become: ``` Here is an English paragraph that is broken into multiple lines in the source code so that it can be more easily read in a text editor. ``` when rendered in a web browser, i.e., lines are joined and one space is added between two lines. However, in CJK text (except Hangul), the spaces are not added. For example: ``` 这个段落是呢么长, 在一行写不行。最好 用三行写。 ``` becomes: ``` 这个段落是呢么长,在一行不行。最好用三行写。 ``` when rendered in a web browser, i.e., there is not space after `,` and `好`. ## Question The CSS Working Group would like to know which characters should not have spaces around them when joining lines. Here is the current list, categorized using Unicode blocks: https://drafts.csswg.org/css-text-3/#space-discard-set The interesting questions remaining are: * [Bopomofo](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bopomofo) (the spaces should **not** be discarded per https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/commit/e56978ecc12165ab7059902fdaa89230ef2cff53) * [Yijing Hexagram Symbols](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yijing_Hexagram_Symbols_(Unicode_block)) / [Tai Xuan Jing Symbols](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taixuanjing) / [Counting Rod Numerals](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counting_Rod_Numerals_(Unicode_block)) * [Enclosed CJK Letters and Months](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enclosed_CJK_Letters_and_Months) / [Enclosed Ideographic Supplement](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enclosed_Ideographic_Supplement) Unlike [fantasai](https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/337#issuecomment-612686124), I'm leaning towards not having spaces around all three categories above.
