Text style adjustable

Core requirement

The presentation of text style properties can be adjusted, without loss of content or functionality, to meet the @@ [values to be determined] for:

  • Typeface
  • Font width
  • Text decoration
  • Capitalization
  • Automatic end-of-line hyphenation

The requirement is that the text is manipulable and the style attributes can be overridden.

Except when the text style property is hard-coded, such as raw text that is capitalized or hyphenated.

If you are aware of research in this area, especially involving non-Latin scripts, please email public-agwg-comments@w3.org.

Tests

Procedure

For each block of text:

  1. Apply the highest level of change of each attribute specified in the provision.
  2. Check that the text is changed by the override.
