#118: What term to use for the kind of text that the Unicode Bidi Algorithm was designed for Comment (by adil@…): Mati writes: > Since the question is related to Unicode (the kind of text that the Unicode Bidi Algorithm was designed for), maybe we should check the Unicode definition for "plain text". In the Unicode glossary (http://unicode.org/glossary/#P), we find: > >Plain Text. Computer-encoded text that consists only of a sequence of code points from a given standard, with no other formatting or structural information. Plain text interchange is commonly used between computer systems that do not share higher-level protocols. (See also [http://unicode.org/glossary/#rich_text rich text].) > >Personally, I find this definition appropriate for "the kind of text that the Unicode Bidi Algorithm was designed for", and I prefer "plain text" over "running text". It is also my experience that "plain text" is much more in use in Unicode circles than "running text". -- ----------------------+--------------------------------------- Reporter: duerst@… | Owner: draft-ietf-iri-3987bis@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Component: 3987bis | Version: Severity: - | Resolution: Keywords: | ----------------------+--------------------------------------- Ticket URL: <http://trac.tools.ietf.org/wg/iri/trac/ticket/118#comment:1> iri <http://tools.ietf.org/wg/iri/>
