Otherwise, line position percentages are relative to the width of the video, and text position and size percentages are relative to the height of the video. " As per feedback from Andreas Tai: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-texttracks/2015Feb/0005.html 118154 1 philipj 2015-02-25 06:14:39 +0000 I tried moving them, but these paragraphs talk about the influence of writing direction on the interpretation of line position AND text position. Splitting them to spread them into those two sections wouldn't make things clearer, IMHO. 118155 2 philipj 2015-02-25 06:20:57 +0000 I found an unrelated problem close by: https://github.com/w3c/webvtt/pull/174 118429 3 silviapfeiffer1 2015-03-08 11:08:53 +0000 We could turn these into notes, seeing as this information is duplicated later on? 118441 4 philipj 2015-03-09 10:24:16 +0000 AFAICT it's not given in any detail later, it just says "to be interpreted as defined by the writing direction" and similar things. So... I don't know. Maybe moving it into the later sections would be an improvement even if it duplicates the sentence structure. 118786 5 tai 2015-03-22 15:40:45 +0000 From my view it makes sense to split it up and move it further down. Note that it has to go as well under "size". For writing direction an informative note maybe sufficient as the interpretation of writing direction does not depend on the other features. The text of the note could be something like "Please note that the computed value of writing direction does affect the interpretation of text position percentages, line position percentages and size percentages". 127713 6 singer 2016-10-11 16:55:43 +0000 We think we should replace this normative text by a note that says "Note that writing direction affects the interpretation of line, position, and size" and then these two paragraphs should be placed correctly to define position, line and size. as they *use* writing direction to give meaning to a value, i.e. they are not about writing direction per se. 127826 7 zcorpan 2016-10-18 11:13:08 +0000 https://github.com/w3c/webvtt/issues/315 128680 8 tai 2017-07-10 06:03:54 +0000 Thanks for resolving this issue.
