http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=10807 --- Comment #13 from Ian 'Hixie' Hickson <ian@hixie.ch> 2010-10-15 00:26:59 UTC --- It seems to me that the use cases described in this bug can be most easily addressed as follows: 1. Add an 'auto' value for the CSS 'direction' property that determines the direction in a suitably automatic way. 2. Recommend that authors use the <output> element to mark up information from users, and make <output> default to 'direction:auto'. This element defaults to unicode-bidi:isolate. So for a place name, you'd write: <output>Purple Pizza</output> - <a href="ppreviews.html">3 reviews</a> If you knew the direction, e.g. a phone number, you could write: <output dir=ltr>+1 555 123 4567</output> Are there any use cases that this would not address? -- Configure bugmail: http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
