I18N Tests: Block level bidi markup 2

This is one of a set of pages that examine how block level directionality is handled by a user agent.

Tests on this page check that direction declared on the html tag is inherited by the block elements in a document. The tests are checking to see that discrete runs of characters with the same directionality (directional runs) are correctly ordered with respect to each other, from right to left. One should also expect that the block is right-aligned (although this is not actually specified by HTML).

Note: When comparing test data with reference graphics, font differences and cursive joining behavior are irrelevant. Ordering of characters and directional runs are what are tested here. You will, however, need a font that supports Arabic and Hebrew.

There is a dir="rtl" attribute on the html element for this document. (This is overridden for blocks containing English text describing the test. Graphics are shown by small corners top left and top right.)

The order of directional runs in memory is always: Arabic (مكتب) English (W3C) Hebrew (הישראלי).

Paragraphs

Markup is: <div><p>...</p></div>.

Check test data looks the same as this graphic, and whether the text is right-aligned:

مكتب W3C הישראלי

Tables

Markup is: <div><table>...</table></div>

Check test data looks the same as this graphic, and whether the text is right-aligned:

The following paragraph should look like this.

1	2	3
مكتب W3C הישראלי	مكتب W3C הישראלי	مكتب W3C הישראלי
