The Internationalization Activity has just published the following FPWD document.

• Adlam Layout Requirements

This document was also updated.

• N’Ko Layout Requirements

Currently, these documents mostly point to external descriptions of how the script works. They also point to relevant GitHub discussions, tests, and gap reports. This provides a convenient way to access information about a particular script/language when doing gap analysis as part of our language enablement program.

Comments welcome, via the GH links indicated at the top of each page.

The Internationalization Activity has recently published the following FPWD documents.

• Khmer Layout Requirements
• Thai Layout Requirements
• Lao Layout Requirements

Thus far, these documents mostly point to external descriptions of how the script works. They also point to relevant GitHub discussions, tests, and gap reports. This provides a convenient way to access information about a particular script/language when doing gap analysis as part of our language enablement program.

Similar structural changes have been applied to the following documents, although these documents contain much more in-page content.

• Requirements for Tibetan Text Layout and Typography
• Arabic & Persian Layout Requirements

Comments welcome, via the GH links indicated at the top of each page.

Les étiquettes de langues en HTML et XML (Language tags in HTML and XML)

Thanks to Gwendoline Clavé, Clavoline Traduction for providing this translation.

Chinese and Japanese have a native way of indicating emphasis for short ranges of inline text which involves placing a small mark above or below the characters being emphasised in horizontal text, and to the right/left in vertical text.

This is now supported, using CSS, in all 3 major browser engines.

See the Gap report.

See also CSS Text Decoration for how to use this feature.

All 3 major browser engines now support the ability to create custom counter styles.

This is a significant step forward in enabling fully interoperable list numbering and other counters that reflect local approaches, especially for languages with smaller speaker populations.

See the Gap report.
