Paul Nelson (ATC): > It would be easy enough to add support for this to CSS3 'text- > emphasis' property by adding something the following values (not > intuitive names and prone to typographic errors): > > nyizla - uses the Tibetan mark U+0F35 as the emphasis mark > sgorrtags - uses the Tibetan mark U+0F37 as the emphasis mark I'd like to see these unified with English words that would also describe emphasis marks for other (Asian) scripts. U+0F37, at least, looks close enough to a 'circle'. Is |text-emphasis|, by the way, suitable for Latin-script poems, songs and prayers, which may feature similar marks? > The use of these marks for other than Tibetan text would need to be > undefined to preclude people doing "creative" things with this > property. Creativity /can/ be a good thing, even in typography. A language like CSS should not raise artificial boundaries.
