ISSUE-2348: Last Call Comment: direction property and the effect on text elements
Last Call Comment: direction property and the effect on text elements
- State:
- OPEN
- Product:
- SVG 1.1 F2 Last Call
- Raised by:
- Erik Dahlström
- Opened on:
- 2010-07-06
- Description:
- From the definition of the 'direction' property[1]:
[[ For the ‘direction’ property to have any effect, the ‘unicode-bidi’ property's value must be embed or bidi-override. ]]
This is misleading and wrong, and breaks testcases. A better definition is in SVG Tiny 1.2 [2]:
[[ For the 'direction' property to have any effect on an element that does not by itself establish a new text chunk (such as the 'tspan' element in SVG 1.2 Tiny), the 'unicode-bidi' property's value must be embed or bidi-override. ]]
Proposed edit for 1.1F2:
[[ For the 'direction' property to have any effect on an element that does not by itself establish a new text chunk (such as a 'tspan' element without absolute position adjustments due to 'x' or 'y' attributes), the 'unicode-bidi' property's value must be embed or bidi-override. ]]
