The CSS Working Group has published an updated Working Draft of CSS Text Module Level 4. This CSS module defines properties for text manipulation and specifies their processing model. It covers line breaking, justification and alignment, white space handling, and text transformation.
This update:
- Merges in the entire contents of CSS Text Level 3 so that it is no longer a diff spec.
- Adds percentage values to
letter-spacingandword-spacing, to allow for values relative to thefont-sizeof the text to which they apply. (emvalues are resolved against the element on which they are declared, and inherit as absolute lengths.)
See Additions since Level 3 for a list of the new features since Level 4. Some of these features are more stable than others, and future work on this module will be refining their designs and definitions. You can see the current list of open issues in the CSSWG GitHub repo.
We encourage anyone with an interest in text and internationalization to review this draft. Please send feedback by either filing an issue in GitHub (preferable) or sending mail to the (archived) public mailing list www-style@w3.org with the spec code ([css-text-4]) and your comment topic in the subject line. (Alternatively, you can email one of the editors and ask them to forward your comment.)
