xfq: I'm trying to migrate our language switching code to TypeScript

xfq: Currently, clreq, jlreq, and klreq have language switching

xfq: but because of changes in ReSpec, these codes often have issues and need to be modified

xfq: the readability and maintainability of the current JS code in clreq is not very good

xfq: so I would like to migrate it to TypeScript to make the code more self-expressive, which can enhance maintainability

huijing: I agree

xfq: will look into `let` vs. `const`

https://github.com/w3c/clreq/pull/475

xfq: I reduced the number of warnings in the document

xfq: Character advance (字幅) in tracked in https://github.com/w3c/clreq/issues/472

Eric: please link "line height" to the Glossary

xfq: OK

Zhengyu: https://w3c.github.io/clreq/#h-note-5

Zhengyu: why 'line height = character size / 2 + line gap + character size / 2 = character size + line gap'?

[Discuss the definition of line height]

[Discuss the reference point for line height]

Zhengyu: In a web page, the line height of the upper and lower lines may be different

Zhengyu: The definition here is different from CSS

Zhengyu: should we change it to be consistent with CSS?

Zhengyu: or we can just remove the formula

Eric: 'line height = character size / 2 + line gap + character size / 2 = character size + line gap' is just an example

Eric: it's the most common algorithm

Eric: It's hard to tell without adding a figure

Eric: https://w3c.github.io/jlreq/#h-note-32

Eric: in jlreq it's called "line feed" / 行送り

Zhengyu: line height in CSS is only determined by the current line, not related to the adjacent lines

Zhengyu: We can ignore this issue for now

Zhengyu: or we use the term "line feed" instead of "line height"

xfq: there is ambiguity in "line feed"

xfq: it can mean "moving one line forward" or "the distance between two adjacent lines measured by their reference points"

Zhengyu: indeed

Eric: I agree

[Discuss the Chinese translation of the word 行送り]

Eric: 行的推进量

Eric: this term is from photo typesetting

Eric: the terminology in Chinese is also confusing

Eric: 行距 vs 行隙 vs 行间距

[Discuss the text and do live editing]

Eric: I'll do some editorial fixes and ping @huijing for English translation

https://github.com/w3c/clreq/issues/474

xfq: We removed the ligature section in #330. Should we also remove the term in the Glossary?

Eric: yes, it should be removed

https://github.com/w3c/clreq/issues/476

Eric: This method is currently only used by Xinhua Dictionary

Eric: There is no practical significance, because Bopomofo is not used in Mainland China

Eric: let's add a note in 3.3.3

https://github.com/w3c/clreq/issues/473

Eric: need feedback from Taiwan
