During the 3-17-2010 telecon we spoke briefly about subscripts/superscripts: > <jdaggett> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2010Feb/0245.html > jdaggett: one of the features that is not in the spec already relates to > sub/superscript support. OT can support a variant glyph > suitable for sub/superscript resizing. it's also designed to > look and feel like the rest of the text in that context. it's > analogous to real smallcaps vs. synthesized smallcaps > <jdaggett> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2010Feb/0247.html > <TabAtkins> character-transform: super|sub > jdaggett/fantasai/tab: we need to way to use this OT feature if the glyphs > are available, but simulate it with vertical-align:super when not. > <fantasai> that's what Tab's proposal is > <fantasai> my comment was that the property Tab proposed should also reset > vertical-align and font-size to their initial values at parsetime > <fantasai> the same way a shorthand does Fantasai, could you clarify what you mean by using a new property (e.g. 'character-transform') as a shorthand for new property values and font-size/vertical-align? Are you saying that this property is a pseudo-shorthand in that it resets other property values but doesn't actually otherwise use their values?
