I have another leader issue. Currently, the spec presecribes multi-line leaders in certain cases. One of the examples has this rendering: Douglas Adams... ..............42 The normative text is: If the presence of a minimum length leader at the end of a line results in subsequent content being moved to the next line, the leader will also appear at the beginning of the next line. http://books.spec.whatwg.org/#leaders However, I'm unsure if multi-line leaders should be prescribed. Do multi-line leders exist in any typographical tradition? Samplings from three semi-random publications indicate that leaders only appear on a single line: http://www.wiumlie.no/2013/whatwg/books/1.png http://www.wiumlie.no/2013/whatwg/books/2.png http://www.wiumlie.no/2013/whatwg/books/3.png If we decide that multi-line leaders should not be supported, one quick fix is probably to say: If the presence of a minimum length leader at the end of a line results in subsequent content being moved to the next line, the leader will only appear at the beginning of the next line. Which should result in this rendering: Douglas Adams ..............42 which may not be right either; none of the examples have a leader at the start of a line. An alternative may be: Douglas Adams.........42 But I'm unsure if it looks better.
