Ok. > There's probably some more complications if there is a line break in there somewhere, too, right? Throw another one at me and I'll tell you what my intuition says. Well, one obvious complication is that changing the color changes it for all the boxes for the span, across all lines, but you sound like you would apply the transform on each line separately.... As for the interaction of bidi and linebreaks, my bidi fu is not strong enough to poke the edge cases. Would be nice if someone who understands that stuff could step in. Note that the line case, unlike the bidi one, can happen with blocks too (columns), so we sort of need an answer to it no matter what. -Boris
