I18N-ISSUE-408: Centred value for intial-letter-align [css-inline] http://www.w3.org/International/track/issues/408 Raised by: Richard Ishida On product: css-inline 2.4. Alignment of Initial Letters: the initial-letter-align property http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css-inline/#aligning-initial-letter Looking at the examples at https://www.flickr.com/photos/ishida/sets/72157650248400402/ I noted that another apparently popular approach to initial letter highlighting involves centring the text in a decorated box. Here are some examples: Hebrew https://www.flickr.com/photos/ishida/15650929903/in/set-72157650248400402 https://www.flickr.com/photos/ishida/16084956857/in/set-72157650248400402/ Chinese https://www.flickr.com/photos/ishida/15650930393/in/set-72157650248400402 Korean https://www.flickr.com/photos/ishida/16246010056/in/set-72157650248400402 https://www.flickr.com/photos/ishida/16086075057/in/set-72157650248400402/ Devanagari https://www.flickr.com/photos/ishida/15652027313/in/set-72157650248400402 https://www.flickr.com/photos/ishida/16084553210/in/set-72157650248400402/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/ishida/16084392688/in/set-72157650248400402/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/ishida/16084553630/in/set-72157650248400402/ and others Perhaps this indicates that we need a 5th value for the initial-letter-align property that centres the sequence of characters in a box who's size is indicated by the initial-letter property (ie. rather than aligning by baselines).
