Just wanted to give an update, we're very close to wrapping up the last few issues on css-text-3. I'm hoping we can publish a CR soon. (Granted, I've been hoping that for a very long time now.) There's not been many significant changes since November. However, there is one major change that concerns i18n: We redrafted the line break transformation rules against a list of Unicode Blocks. I think this is actually going to give better results than the existing text. However. We do need review over the list of affected blocks. The current draft is here: https://drafts.csswg.org/css-text-3/#space-discard-set The two interesting questions we found were wrt enclosed ideographics: https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/4992 and certain Wide symbols - counting rods, tai xuan jing, & yi jing hexagrams: https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/4993 There's also the original issue, of how to handle "ambiguous" cases like quotation marks: https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/337 which I've refiled as https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/5017 Please comment if you have thoughts on these issues. ~fantasai On 11/12/19 5:50 PM, fantasai wrote: > The CSS WG has published an updated Working Draft of the CSS Text Module Level 3: > https://www.w3.org/TR/css-text-3/ > > This module contains various typesetting properties not related to font > selection, such as alignment, line breaking, white space collapsing, > text justification, and other forms of text-level spacing adjustments. > > This is a fairly mature Working Draft (and probably should have been CR > already), and there are not that many issues left open [1].
