Abstract: This CSS module defines properties for text manipulation and specifies their processing model. It covers line breaking, justification and alignment, white space handling, and text transformation.
At Risk: the ''full-width'' value of 'text-transform'
At Risk: the ''full-size-kana'' value of 'text-transform'
At Risk: the &lt;length> values of the 'tab-size' property
At Risk: the 'text-justify' property
At Risk: the 'hanging-punctuation' property
At Risk: Writing-system specific adjustments to line-breaking
At Risk: Trimming trailing Ogham space marks
Ignored Vars: letter-spacing

Introduction</h2>

  <p>This module describes the typesetting controls of CSS;
  that is, the features of CSS that control the translation of
  source text to formatted, line-wrapped text.
  Various CSS properties provide control over
  <a href="#transforming">case transformation</a>,
  <a href="#white-space">white space collapsing</a>,
  <a href="#white-space">text wrapping</a>,
  <a href="#line-breaking">line breaking rules</a>
  and <a href="#hyphenation">hyphenation</a>,
  <a href="#justification">alignment and justification</a>,
  <a href="#spacing">spacing</a>,
  and <a href="#edge-effects">indentation</a>.

Module Interactions</h3>

  <p>This module, together with [[CSS-TEXT-DECOR-3]],
  replaces and extends the text-level features defined in [[!CSS2]] chapter 16.

  <p>In addition to the terms defined below,
    other terminology and concepts used in this specification are defined
    in [[!CSS2]] and [[!CSS-WRITING-MODES-3]].

<h3 id="values">
Value Definitions</h3>

  This specification follows the <a href="https://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/about.html#property-defs">CSS property definition conventions</a> from [[!CSS2]]
  using the <a href="https://www.w3.org/TR/css-values-3/#value-defs">value definition syntax</a> from [[!CSS-VALUES-3]].
  Value types not defined in this specification are defined in CSS Values &amp; Units [[!CSS-VALUES-3]].
  Combination with other CSS modules may expand the definitions of these value types.

  In addition to the property-specific values listed in their definitions,
  all properties defined in this specification
  also accept the <a>CSS-wide keywords</a> as their property value.
  For readability they have not been repeated explicitly.

<h3 id="languages">
Languages and Typesetting</h3>

  <p class="advisement"><strong>
    Authors should accurately language-tag their content for the best typographic behavior.
  </strong>

    Many typographic effects vary by linguistic context.
    Language and writing system conventions can affect
    line breaking, hyphenation, justification, glyph selection,
    and many other typographic effects.
    <strong>In CSS, language-specific typographic tailorings
    are only applied when the <a>content language</a> is known (declared).</strong>
    Therefore,
    higher quality typography requires authors to communicate to the UA
    the correct linguistic context of the text in the document.

    The <dfn export>content language</dfn> of an element is the (human) language
    the element is declared to be in, according to the rules of the
    <a href="https://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/conform.html#doclanguage">document language</a>.
    Note that it is possible for the <a>content language</a> of an element
    to be unknown--
    e.g. untagged content,
    or content in a <a>document language</a> that does not have a language-tagging facility
    is considered to have an unknown <a>content language</a>.

    Note: Authors can declare the [=content language=]
    using the global <code>lang</code> attribute in HTML
    or the universal <code>xml:lang</code> attribute in XML.
    See the <a href="https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/dom.html#language">rules
    for determining the content language of an HTML element</a> in [[HTML]],
    and the <a href="https://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#sec-lang-tag">rules
    for determining the content language of an XML element</a> in [[XML10]].

    The [=content language=] an element is declared to be in
    also identifies the specific written form of that language used in that element,
    known as the <dfn export local-lt="writing system">content writing system</dfn>.
    Depending on the [=document language=]'s facilities for identifying the [=content language=],
    this information can be explicit or implied.
    See the normative [[#script-tagging]].

    Note: Some languages have more than one writing system tradition;
    in other cases a language can be transliterated into a foreign writing system.
    Authors should <a href="#script-tagging">subtag</a> such cases
    so that the UA can adapt appropriately.

<!--
	<div class=example>
		For example, Korean (<code>ko</code>) can be written in
		Hangul (<code>-Hang</code>),
		Hanja (<code>-Hani</code>),
		or a combination (<code>-Kore</code>).
		Historical documents written solely in Hanja
		do not use word spaces and
		are formatted more like modern Chinese than modern Korean.
		In other words, for typographic purposes <code>ko-Hani</code>
		behaves more like <code>zh-Hant</code>
		than <code>ko</code> (<code>ko-Kore</code>).

		As another example Japanese (<code>ja</code>) is typically written
		in a combination (<code>-Japn</code>) of Hiragana (<code>-Hira</code>),
		Katakana (<code>-Kana</code>), and Kanji (<code>-Hani</code>).
		However, it can also be ”romanized” into Latin (<code>-Latn</code>)
		for special purposes like language-learning textbooks,
		in which case it should be formatted more like English than Japanese.

		As a third example contemporary Mongolian is written in two scripts:
		Cyrillic (<code>-Cyrl</code>, officially used in Mongolia)
		and Mongolian (<code>-Mong</code>, more common in Inner Mongolia, part of China).
		These have very different formatting requirements,
		with Cyrillic behaving similar to Latin and Greek,
		and Mongolian deriving from both Arabic and Chinese writing conventions.

<h3 id="characters">
Characters and Letters</h3>

  <p>The basic unit of typesetting is the <dfn export>character</dfn>.
  However, because writing systems are not always as simple as the basic English alphabet,
  what a <a>character</a> actually is depends on the context in which the term is used.
  For example, in Hangul (the Korean writing system),
  each square representation of a syllable
  (e.g. <span lang=ko-hang title="Hangul syllable HAN">한</span>=<span lang=ko-Latn>Han</span>)
  can be considered a <a>character</a>.
  However, the square symbol is really composed of multiple letters each representing a phoneme
  (e.g. <span lang=ko-hang title="Hangul letter HIEUH">ㅎ</span>=<span lang=ko-Latn>h</span>,
   <span lang=ko-hang title="Hangul letter HIEUH">ㅏ</span>=<span lang=ko-Latn>a</span>,
   <span lang=ko-hang title="Hangul letter HIEUH">ㄴ</span>=<span lang=ko-Latn>n</span>)
  and these also could each be considered a <a>character</a>.

  <p>A basic unit of computer text encoding, for any given encoding,
  is also called a <a>character</a>,
  and depending on the encoding,
  a single encoding <a>character</a> might correspond
  to the entire pre-composed syllabic <a>character</a> (e.g. <span lang=ko-hang title="Hangul syllable HAN">한</span>),
  to the individual phonemic <a>character</a> (e.g. <span lang=ko-hang title="Hangul letter HIEUH">ㅎ</span>),
  or to smaller units such as
  a base letterform (e.g. <span lang=ko-hang title="Hangul letter IEUNG">ㅇ</span>)
  and any combining marks that vary it (e.g. extra strokes that represent aspiration).

  <p>In turn, a single encoding <a>character</a> can be represented in the data stream as one or more bytes;
  and in programming environments one byte is sometimes also called a <a>character</a>.

  <p>Therefore the term <a>character</a> is fairly ambiguous where technical precision is required.

  <p>For text layout, we will refer to the <dfn export lt="typographic character unit|typographic character">typographic character unit</dfn>
  as the basic unit of text.
  Even within the realm of text layout,
  the relevant <a>character</a> unit depends on the operation.
  For example, line-breaking and letter-spacing will segment
  a sequence of Thai characters that include U+0E33 THAI CHARACTER SARA AM differently;
  or the behavior of a conjunct consonant in a script such as Devanagari
  may depend on the font in use.
  So the <a>typographic character</a> represents a unit of the writing system&mdash;<!--
  -->such as a Latin alphabetic letter (including its diacritics),
  Hangul syllable,
  Chinese ideographic character,
  Myanmar syllable cluster&mdash;<!--
  -->that is indivisible with respect to a particular typographic operation
  (line-breaking, first-letter effects, tracking, justification, vertical arrangement, etc.).

  </wpt>

  <a href="http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr29/">Unicode Standard Annex #29: Text Segmentation</a>
  defines a unit called the <dfn>grapheme cluster</dfn>
  which approximates the <a>typographic character</a>.
  A UA must use the <em>extended grapheme cluster</em>
  (not <em>legacy grapheme cluster</em>), as defined in [[!UAX29]],
  as the basis for its <a>typographic character unit</a>.
  However, the UA should tailor the definitions
  as required by typographic tradition
  since the default rules are not always appropriate or ideal--
  and is expected to tailor them differently
  depending on the operation as needed.

  </wpt>

  <p class="note">
  Note: The rules for such tailorings are out of scope for CSS.
<!--
  however W3C currently maintains a wiki page
  where some known tailorings are collected.
-->

  <div class="example">
    The following are some examples of <a>typographic character unit</a> tailorings
    required by standard typesetting practice:

    <ul>
      <li>
        <p>In some scripts such as Myanmar or Devanagari,
        the <a>typographic character unit</a> for both justification and line-breaking
        is an entire syllable,
        which can include more than one [[!UAX29]] <a>grapheme cluster</a>.

      <li>
        <p>In other scripts such as Thai or Lao,
        even though for line-breaking the <a>typographic character</a>
        matches Unicode’s default <a>grapheme clusters</a>,
        for letter-spacing the relevant unit
        is <em>less</em> than a [[!UAX29]] <a>grapheme cluster</a>,
        and may require decomposition or other substitutions
        before spacing can be inserted.

        <p>For instance,
        to properly letter-space the Thai word คำ (U+0E04 + U+0E33),
        the U+0E33 needs to be decomposed into U+0E4D + U+0E32,
        and then the extra letter-space inserted before the U+0E32: คํ า.

        <p>A slightly more complex example is น้ำ (U+0E19 + U+0E49 + U+0E33).
        In this case, normal Thai shaping will first decompose the U+0E33 into U+0E4D + U+0E32
        and then swap the U+0E4D with the U+0E49, giving U+0E19 + U+0E4D + U+0E49 + U+0E32.
        As before the extra letter-space is then inserted before the U+0E32: นํ้ า.

      <li>
        <p>Vertical typesetting [[!CSS-WRITING-MODES-3]] can also require tailoring.
        For example, when typesetting ''text-orientation/upright'' text,
        Tibetan tsek and shad marks are kept with the preceding grapheme cluster,
        rather than treated as an independent <a>typographic character unit</a>.
    </ul>
  </div>

  <p>A <dfn export>typographic letter unit</dfn> or <dfn>letter</dfn> for the purpose of this specification
  is a <a>typographic character unit</a> belonging to one of the Letter or Number general
  categories in Unicode. [[!UAX44]]
  See <a href="#character-properties">Character Properties</a>
  for how to determine the Unicode properties of a <a>typographic character unit</a>.

  <p>The rendering characteristics of a <a>typographic character unit</a> divided
  by an element boundary is undefined.
  Ideally each component should be rendered
  according to the formatting requirements of its respective element’s properties
  while maintaining correct shaping and positioning
  of the <a>typographic character unit</a> as a whole.
  However, depending on the nature of the formatting differences between its parts
  and the capabilities of the font technology in use,
  this is not always possible.
  Therefore such a <a>typographic character unit</a>
  may be rendered as belonging to either side of the boundary,
  or as some approximation of belonging to both.
  Authors are forewarned that dividing <a>grapheme clusters</a>
  or ligatures
  by element boundaries may give inconsistent or undesired results.

<h3 id="text-encoding">
Text Processing</h3>

  CSS is built on [[UNICODE]].
  UAs that support Unicode must adhere to all normative requirements
  of the Unicode Core Standard,
  except where explicitly overridden by CSS.
  UAs that use a different encoding are not explicitly supported by the CSS specifications;
  they are, however, expected to fulfill the same text handling requirements
  by assuming an appropriate mapping between that encoding and Unicode.

  For the purpose of determining adjacency for text processing

  and thus in general within this specification,
  intervening [=inline box=] boundaries and [=out-of-flow=] elements
  must be ignored.

    <div class="example">
      <p>The following example converts the ASCII characters
        used in abbreviations in Japanese text to their fullwidth variants
        so that they lay out and line break like ideographs:
      <pre>abbr:lang(ja) { text-transform: full-width; }</pre>
    </div>

    Note: The purpose of 'text-transform' is
    to allow for presentational casing transformations
    without affecting the semantics of the document.
    Note in particular that 'text-transform' casing operations are lossy,
    and can distort the meaning of a text.
    While accessibility interfaces may wish to convey
    the apparent casing of the rendered text to the user,
    the transformed text cannot be relied on to accurately represent
    the underlying meaning of the document.

    <div class="example">
      In this example,
      the first line of text is capitalized as a visual effect.

      <pre highlight=css>
        section > p:first-of-type::first-line {
          text-transform: uppercase;
        }
      </pre>

      This effect cannot be written into the source document
      because the position of the line break depends on layout.
      But also, the capitalization is not reflecting a semantic distinction
      and is not intended to affect the paragraph’s reading;
      therefore it belongs in the presentation layer.
    </div>

    <div class="example">
      In this example,
      the [=ruby=] annotations,
      which are half the size of the main paragraph text,
      are transformed to use regular-size kana
      in place of [=small kana=].

      <pre highlight=css>
        rt { font-size: 50%; text-transform: full-size-kana; }
        :is(h1, h2, h3, h4) rt { text-transform: none; /* unset for large text*/ }
      </pre>

      Note that while this makes such letters easier to see at small type sizes,
      the transformation distorts the text:
      the reader needs to mentally substitute [=small kana=]
      in the appropriate places--
      not unlike reading a text in English
      with all “s” characters substituted by “f”.

      For example, if ''text-transform: full-size-kana'' were applied to the following source,
      the annotation would read “じゆう” (jiyū), which means “liberty”,
      instead of “じゅう” (jū), which means “ten”,
      the correct reading and meaning for the annotated “十”.
      <xmp highlight=html>
        <ruby>十<rt>じゅう</ruby>
      </xmp>
    </div>

<h4 id="text-transform-mapping">
Mapping Rules</h4>

    <p>For ''capitalize'', what constitutes a “word“ is UA-dependent;
      [[!UAX29]] is suggested (but not required)
      for determining such word boundaries.
      Authors should not expect ''capitalize'' to follow
      language-specific titlecasing conventions
      (such as skipping articles in English).
      Out-of-flow elements and inline element boundaries
      must not introduce a 'text-transform' word boundary
      and must be ignored when determining such word boundaries.

      <wpt>
        text-transform/text-transform-capitalize-033.html
      </wpt>

    <p>
      The UA must use the full case mappings for Unicode
      characters, including any conditional casing rules, as defined in
      Default Case Algorithm section of The Unicode Standard [[!UNICODE]].
      If (and only if) the <a>content language</a>
      of the element is, according to the rules of the
      <a href="https://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/conform.html#doclanguage">document language</a>,
      known,
      then any appropriate language-specific rules must be applied as well.
      These minimally include, but are not limited to, the language-specific
      rules in Unicode's
      <a href="http://www.unicode.org/Public/UNIDATA/SpecialCasing.txt">SpecialCasing.txt</a>.

    <div class="example">
      <p>For example, in Turkish there are two &ldquo;i&rdquo;s, one with
        a dot&mdash;&ldquo;İ&rdquo; and &ldquo;i&rdquo;&mdash; and one
        without&mdash;&ldquo;I&rdquo; and &ldquo;ı&rdquo;. Thus the usual
        case mappings between &ldquo;I&rdquo; and &ldquo;i&rdquo; are
        replaced with a different set of mappings to their respective
        undotted/dotted counterparts, which do not exist in English. This
        mapping must only take effect if the <a>content language</a> is Turkish
        written in its modern Latin-based <a>writing system</a>
        (or another Turkic language that uses Turkish casing rules);
        in other languages, the usual mapping of &ldquo;I&rdquo;
        and &ldquo;i&rdquo; is required. This rule is thus conditionally
        defined in Unicode's SpecialCasing.txt file.

    <p>The definition of fullwidth and halfwidth forms can be found on the
      Unicode consortium web site at [[!UAX11]].
      The mapping to fullwidth form is defined by taking code points with
      the <code>&lt;wide&gt;</code> or the <code>&lt;narrow&gt;</code> tag
      in their <code>Decomposition_Mapping</code> in [[!UAX44]].
      For the <code>&lt;narrow&gt;</code> tag,
      the mapping is from the code point to the decomposition (minus <code>&lt;narrow&gt;</code> tag),
      and for the <code>&lt;wide&gt;</code> tag,
      the mapping is from the decomposition (minus the <code>&lt;wide&gt;</code> tag)
      back to the original code point.

Order of Operations</h4>

    <p>When multiple values are specified and therefore multiple transformations need to be applied,

    <p>Text transformation happens after [[#white-space-phase-1]]

  <p>See <a href="#white-space-processing">White Space Processing Rules</a>
    for details on how [=white space=] collapses. An informative summary of
    collapsing (''white-space/normal'' and ''nowrap'') is presented below:
    <ul>
      <li>A sequence of segment breaks and other <a>white space</a> between two
        Chinese, Japanese, or Yi characters collapses into nothing.
      <li>A zero width space before or after a [=white space=] sequence
        containing a segment break causes the entire sequence of <a>white space</a>
        to collapse into a zero width space.
      <li>Otherwise, consecutive <a>white space</a> collapses into a single [=space=].
    </ul>

  <p>See <a href="#line-breaking">Line Breaking</a>
    for details on wrapping behavior.

<h2 id="white-space-processing">
  White Space Processing &amp; Control Characters</h2>

    The source text of a document often contains formatting
    that is not relevant to the final rendering: for example,
    <a href="https://rhodesmill.org/brandon/2012/one-sentence-per-line/">breaking the source into segments</a>
    (lines) for ease of editing
    or adding [=white space characters=] such as [=tabs=] and [=spaces=] to indent the source code.
    CSS white space processing allows the author to control interpretation of such formatting:
    to preserve or collapse it away when rendering the document.
    White space processing in CSS
    (which is controlled with the 'white-space' property)
    interprets [=white space characters=] only for rendering:
    it has no effect on the underlying document data.

    Note: Depending on the document language,
    segments can be separated by a particular newline sequence
    (such as a line feed or CRLF pair),
    or delimited by some other mechanism,
    such as the SGML <code>RECORD-START</code> and <code>RECORD-END</code> tokens.

    <p id="segment-normalization">
    For CSS processing, each document language&ndash;defined “segment break” or “newline sequence”--
    or if none are defined,  each line feed (U+000A)--
    in the text is treated as a <dfn export>segment break</dfn>,
    which is then interpreted for rendering as specified by the 'white-space' property.

    In the case of [[HTML]],
    each <a href="https://html.spec.whatwg.org/#newlines">newline sequence is normalized</a> to a single line feed (U+000A)
    for representation in the DOM,
    so when an HTML document is represented as a [[DOM]] tree
    each line feed (U+000A)
    is treated as a [=segment break=].

    Note: In most common CSS implementations,
    HTML does not get styled directly.
    Instead, it is processed into a [[DOM]] tree,
    which is then styled.
    Unlike HTML,
    the DOM does not give any particular meaning to carriage returns (U+000D),
    so they are not treated as [=segment breaks=].
    If carriage returns (U+000D) are inserted into the DOM
    by means other than HTML parsing,
    they then get treated as defined below.

        white-space-processing-006.xht

    </wpt>

  <p class="note">Note: A document parser might
    not only normalize any <a>segment breaks</a>,
    but also collapse other space characters or
    otherwise process white space according to markup rules.
    Because CSS processing occurs <em>after</em> the parsing stage,
    it is not possible to restore these characters for styling.
    Therefore, some of the behavior specified below
    can be affected by these limitations and
    may be user agent dependent.</p>

  <p class="note">Note: Anonymous blocks consisting entirely of
    <a>collapsible</a> <a>white space</a> are removed from the rendering tree.
    Thus any such <a>white space</a> surrounding a block-level element is collapsed away.

    Control characters (<a>Unicode category</a> <code>Cc</code>)--

	line feeds (U+000A),
	carriage returns (U+000D)
    and sequences that form a <a>segment break</a>--

    <div class="example" id="egbidiwscollapse">
      <p>The following example illustrates
        the interaction of white-space collapsing and bidirectionality.
        Consider the following markup fragment, taking special note of [=spaces=]
        (with varied backgrounds and borders for emphasis and identification):

      <pre><code>&lt;ltr&gt;A<span class="egbidiwsaA">&#160;</span>&lt;rtl&gt;<span class="egbidiwsbB">&#160;</span>B<span class="egbidiwsaB">&#160;</span>&lt;/rtl&gt;<span class="egbidiwsbC">&#160;</span>C&lt;/ltr&gt;</code></pre>

      <p>where the <code>&lt;ltr&gt;</code> element represents a left-to-right embedding
        and the <code>&lt;rtl&gt;</code> element represents a right-to-left embedding.
        If the 'white-space' property is set to ''white-space/normal'',
        the white-space processing model will result in the following:

      <ul style="line-height:1.3">
        <li>The [=space=] before the B (<span class="egbidiwsbB">&#160;</span>)
          will collapse with the [=space=] after the A (<span class="egbidiwsaA">&#160;</span>).
        <li>The [=space=] before the C (<span class="egbidiwsbC">&#160;</span>)
          will collapse with the [=space=] after the B (<span class="egbidiwsaB">&#160;</span>).
      </ul>

      <p>This will leave two [=spaces=],
        one after the A in the left-to-right embedding level,
        and one after the B in the right-to-left embedding level.
        The text will then be ordered according to the Unicode bidirectional algorithm,
        with the end result being:

      <pre>A<span class="egbidiwsaA">&#160;</span><span class="egbidiwsaB">&#160;</span>BC</pre>

      <p>Note that there will be two [=spaces=] between A and B,
        and none between B and C.
        This is best avoided by putting [=spaces=] outside the element
        instead of just inside the opening and closing tags and, where practical,
        by relying on implicit bidirectionality instead of explicit embedding levels.

             [=spaces=], [=tabs=], and [=other space separators=]

             they cannot [=hang=] nor have their advance width collapsed.

             Note: Such characters therefore take up space,
             and depending on the available space
             and applicable line breaking controls
             will either overflow or cause the line to wrap.

    <div class=example>
      This example shows that [=conditionally hanging=] white space
      at the end of lines with forced breaks
      provides symmetry with the start of the line.
      An underline is added to help visualize the spaces.
      <pre><code class=lang-css>
      p {
        white-space: pre-wrap;
        width: 5ch;
        border: solid 1px;
        font-family: monospace;
        text-align: center;
      }</code></pre>
      <pre><code class=lang-markup>
      &lt;p> 0 &lt;/p>
      </code></pre>

      The sample above would be rendered as follows:
      <div style="word-wrap: normal; font-size: 2em; font-family: monospace; width: 5ch; border: solid 1px; white-space: pre;"> <span style="text-decoration: underline; text-decoration: underline orange"> 0 </span> </div>

      Since the final [=space=] is before a forced line break
      and does not overflow,
      it does not hang,
      and centering works as expected.
    </div>

    <div class=example>
      This example illustrates the difference
      between [=hanging=] [=spaces=]
      at the end of lines without forced breaks,
      and [=conditionally hanging=] them at the end of lines with forced breaks.
      An underline is added to help visualize the [=spaces=].
      <pre><code class=lang-css>
      p {
        white-space: pre-wrap;
        width: 3ch;
        border: solid 1px;
        font-family: monospace;
      }</code></pre>
      <pre><code class=lang-markup>
      &lt;p> 0 0 0 0 &lt;/p>
      </code></pre>

      The sample above would be rendered as follows:
      <div style="word-wrap: normal; font-size: 2em; font-family: monospace; width: 3ch; border: solid 1px; white-space: pre; text-decoration: underline; text-decoration: underline orange"> 0 <br>0 0 <br>0 </div>

      If <code class=lang-css>p { text-align: right; }</code> was added,
      the result would be as follows:
      <div style="word-wrap: normal; font-size: 2em; font-family: monospace; width: 3ch; border: solid 1px; white-space: pre;"> <span style="text-decoration: underline; text-decoration: underline orange"> 0 </span><br><span style="text-decoration: underline; text-decoration: underline orange">0 0 </span><br> <span style="text-decoration: underline; text-decoration: underline orange">0 </span></div>

      As the [=preserved=] [=spaces=] at the end of lines without a forced break must [=hang=],
      they are not considered when placing the rest of the line during text alignment.
      When aligning towards the end,
      this means any such [=spaces=] will overflow,
      and will not prevent the rest of the line's content from being flush with the edge of the line.
      On the other hand,
      preserved spaces at the end of a line <em>with</em> a forced break
      [=conditionally hang=].
      Since the space at the end of the last line would not overflow in this example,
      it does not [=hang=]
      and therefore is considered during text alignment.
    </div>

    <div class=example>
      In the following example,
      there is not enough room on any line to fit the end-of-line spaces,
      so they [=hang=] on all lines:
      the one on the line without a forced break because it must,
      as well as the one on the line with a forced break,
      because it [=conditionally hangs=] and overflows.
      An underline is added to help visualize the spaces.
      <pre><code class=lang-css>
      p {
        white-space: pre-wrap;
        width: 3ch;
        border: solid 1px;
        font-family: monospace;
      }</code></pre>
      <pre><code class=lang-markup>
      &lt;p>0 0 0 0 &lt;/p>
      </code></pre>
      <div style="word-wrap: normal; font-size: 2em; font-family: monospace; width: 3ch; border: solid 1px; white-space: pre; text-decoration: underline; text-decoration: underline orange">0 0 <br>0 0 </div>

      The last line is not wrapped before the last <code>0</code>
      because characters that [=conditionally hang=] are not considered
      when measuring the line’s contents for fit.
    </div>

CUT SEGMENT BREAK TRANSFORM -->

        Note: The white space processing rules have already
        removed any [=tabs=] and [=spaces=] around the [=segment break=]
        before this context is evaluated.
      </ol>

      <div class="example">
        The purpose of the segment break transformation rules
        (and white space collapsing in general)
        is to “unbreak” text that has been
        <a href="#white-space-processing">broken into segments</a>
        to make the document source code easier to work with.
        In languages that use word separators, such as English and Korean,
        “unbreaking” a line requires joining the two lines with a [=space=].

        <figure>
          <pre>
            Here is an English paragraph
            that is broken into multiple lines
            in the source code so that it can
            be more easily read and edited
            in a text editor.
          </pre>
          <p>Here is an English paragraph that is broken into multiple lines in the source code so that it can be more easily read and edited in a text editor.</p>
          <figcaption>
            Eliminating a line break in English requires maintaining a [=space=] in its place.
          </figcaption>
        </figure>

        In languages that have no word separators, such as Chinese,
        “unbreaking” a line requires joining the two lines with no intervening space.

        <figure>
          <pre lang="zh-Hant">
            這個段落是那麼長，
            在一行寫不行。最好
            用三行寫。
          </pre>
          <p lang="zh-Hant">這個段落是那麼長，在一行寫不行。最好用三行寫。</p>
          <figcaption>
            Eliminating a line break in Chinese requires eliminating any intervening [=white space=].
          </figcaption>
        </figure>

        The segment break transformation rules can use adjacent context
        to either transform the segment break into a space
        or eliminate it entirely.
      </div>

      Note: Historically, HTML and CSS have unconditionally converted [=segment breaks=] to spaces,
      which has prevented content authored in languages such as Chinese
      from being able to break lines within the source.
      Thus UA heuristics need to be conservative about where they discard [=segment breaks=]
      even as they strive to improve support for such languages.

<h2 id="line-breaking">
  Line Breaking and Word Boundaries</h2>

  <p>When inline-level content is laid out into lines, it is broken across line boxes.
    Such a break is called a <dfn export>line break</dfn>.
    When a line is broken due to explicit line-breaking controls
    (such as a <a>preserved</a> newline character),
    or due to the start or end of a block,
    it is a <dfn export>forced line break</dfn>.
    When a line is broken due to content <dfn lt="wrapping|wrap">wrapping</dfn>
    (i.e. when the UA creates unforced line breaks in order to fit the content within the measure),
    it is a <dfn>soft wrap break</dfn>.
    The process of breaking inline-level content into lines is called <dfn export lt="line breaking process | line breaking">line breaking</dfn>.

  <p>Wrapping is only performed at an allowed break point,
    called a <dfn export>soft wrap opportunity</dfn>.
    When wrapping is enabled (see 'white-space'),
    the UA must minimize the amount of content overflowing a line
    by wrapping the line at a <a>soft wrap opportunity</a>,
    if one exists.

    <wpt>
      line-breaking/line-breaking-020.html
    </wpt>

  <p>In most writing systems,
    in the absence of hyphenation a <a>soft wrap opportunity</a> occurs only at word boundaries.
    Many such systems use [=spaces=] or punctuation to explicitly separate words,
    and <a>soft wrap opportunities</a> can be identified by these characters.
    Scripts such as Thai, Lao, and Khmer, however,
    do not use spaces or punctuation to separate words.
    Although the zero width space (U+200B) can be used as an explicit word delimiter in these scripts,
    this practice is not common.
    As a result, a lexical resource is needed to correctly identify <a>soft wrap opportunities</a> in such texts.

  <p>In some other writing systems,
    <a>soft wrap opportunities</a> are based on orthographic syllable boundaries,
    not word boundaries.
    Some of these systems, such as Javanese and Balinese,
    are similar to Thai and Lao in that they
    require analysis of the text to find breaking opportunities.
    In others such as Chinese (as well as Japanese, Yi, and sometimes also Korean),
    each syllable tends to correspond to a single <a>typographic letter unit</a>,
    and thus line breaking conventions allow the line to break
    anywhere <em>except</em> between certain character combinations.
    Additionally the level of strictness in these restrictions
    varies with the typesetting style.

  <p>While CSS does not fully define where <a>soft wrap opportunities</a> occur,
    some controls are provided to distinguish common variations:

  <ul>
    <li>
      The 'line-break' property allows choosing various levels of “strictness”
      for line breaking restrictions.
    <li>
      The 'word-break' property controls what types of letters
      are glommed together to form unbreakable “words”,
      causing CJK characters to behave like non-CJK text or vice versa.
    <li>
      The 'hyphens' property controls whether automatic hyphenation
      is allowed to break words in scripts that hyphenate.
    <li>
      The 'overflow-wrap' property allows the UA to take a break anywhere
      in otherwise-unbreakable strings that would otherwise overflow.
  </ul>

  <div class="note">
    <p>
      Note: [[UAX14]] defines a baseline behavior
      for line breaking for all scripts in Unicode,
      which is expected to be further tailored.
      More information on line breaking conventions
      can be found in [[JLREQ]] and [[JIS4051]] for Japanese,
      [[CLREQ]] and [[ZHMARK]] for Chinese.

Line Breaking Details</h3>

  <p>When determining <a>line breaks</a>:

  <ul>
    <li>The interaction of [=line breaking=] and bidirectional text is defined by
      [[!CSS-WRITING-MODES-3]] and [[!UAX9]],
      see in particular [[css-writing-modes-3#bidi-algo]]
      and <a href="http://unicode.org/reports/tr9/#Reordering_Resolved_Levels">UAX9&sect;3.4 Reordering Resolved Levels</a>.

          bidi-breaking-002.xht
          bidi-breaking-003.xht
      </wpt>

    <li>Regardless of the 'white-space' value,
      lines always break at each <a>preserved</a> forced break character:
      thus
      for all values, line-breaking behavior defined for
      the <code>BK</code> and <code>NL</code> Unicode line breaking classes [[!UAX14]]
      must be honored.

      Note: The bidi implications of such [=forced line breaks=] are defined by [[!UAX9]].

    <li>Except where explicitly defined otherwise
      (e.g. for ''line-break: anywhere'' or ''overflow-wrap: anywhere'')
      line breaking behavior defined for
      the <code>WJ</code>, <code>ZW</code>, <code>GL</code>, and <code>ZWJ</code> Unicode line breaking classes [[!UAX14]]
      must be honored.

    <li>UAs that allow wrapping at punctuation
      other than <a>word separators</a>
      in writing systems that use them
      <em>should</em> prioritize breakpoints.
      (For example, if breaks after slashes are given a lower priority than spaces,
      the sequence “check /etc” will never break between the "/" and the "e".)
      As long as care is taken to avoid such awkward breaks,
      allowing breaks at appropriate punctuation other than <a>word separators</a>
      is recommended,
      as it results in more even-looking margins, particularly in narrow measures.
      The UA may use the width of the containing block, the text's language,
      the 'line-break' value,
      and other factors in assigning priorities:
      CSS does not define prioritization of line breaking opportunities.
      Prioritization of <a>word separators</a> is not expected,
      however,
      if ''word-break: break-all'' is specified
      (since this value explicitly requests line breaking behavior
      not based on breaking at <a>word separators</a>)--
      and is forbidden under ''line-break: anywhere''.

    <li>Out-of-flow elements
      and inline element boundaries
      do not introduce a <a>forced line break</a>
      or <a>soft wrap opportunity</a> in the flow.

      </wpt>

    <li>For Web-compatibility
      there is a [=soft wrap opportunity=]
      before and after each replaced element or other [=atomic inline=],
      even when adjacent to a character that would normally suppress them,
      such as U+00A0 NO-BREAK SPACE.

    <li>For <a>soft wrap opportunities</a> created by characters that disappear at the line break (e.g. U+0020 SPACE),
      properties on the box directly containing that character control the line breaking at that opportunity.
      For <a>soft wrap opportunities</a> defined by the boundary between two characters,
      the 'white-space' property on the nearest common ancestor of the two characters controls breaking;

    <li>For <a>soft wrap opportunities</a> before the first or after the last character of a box,
      the break occurs immediately before/after the box (at its margin edge)
      rather than breaking the box between its content edge and the content.
    <li>Line breaking in/around Ruby is defined in <a href="https://www.w3.org/TR/css-ruby-1/#line-breaks">CSS Ruby</a> [[!CSS-RUBY-1]].
    <li>In order to avoid unexpected overflow,
      if the User Agent is unable to perform the requisite lexical or orthographic analysis
      for line breaking any [=content language=] that requires it--
      for example due to lacking a dictionary for certain languages--
      it must assume a [=soft wrap opportunity=]
      between pairs of [=typographic letter units=] in that writing system.

      Note: This provision is not triggered merely when
      the UA fails to find a word boundary in a particular text run;
      the text run may well be a single unbreakable word.
      It applies for example
      when a text run is composed of Khmer characters (U+1780 to U+17FF)
      if the User Agent does not know how to determine
      word boundaries in Khmer.

    <div class="example">
      <p>For example, in some styles of CJK typesetting, English words are allowed
        to break between any two letters, rather than only at spaces or hyphenation points;
        this can be enabled with ''word-break:break-all''.

      <p>As another example, Korean has two styles of line-breaking:

      <p>Ethiopic similarly has two styles of line-breaking,
        either only breaking at [=word separators=] (''word-break: normal''),
        or also allowing breaks between letters within a word (''word-break: break-all'').

      <p>Japanese is usually typeset allowing line breaks within words.
      However, it is sometimes preferred to suppress these wrapping opportunities
      and to only allow wrapping at the end of certain sentence fragments.
      This is most commonly done in very short pieces of text,
      such as headings and table or figure captions.

      This can be achieved by marking the allowed wrapping points
      with <{wbr}> or U+200B ZERO WIDTH SPACE,
      and suppressing the other ones using ''word-break: keep-all''.

      For instance, the following markup can produce either of the renderings below,
      depending on the value of the 'word-break' property:
      <pre><code highlight=markup>
      &lt;h1>窓ぎわの&lt;wbr>トットちゃん&lt;/h1>
      </code></pre>

      <table class=data>
      <colgroup span=1></colgroup>
      <colgroup span=2></colgroup>
      <thead>
      <tr>
        <td>
        <th><code highlight=css>h1 { word-break: normal }</code>
        <th><code highlight=css>h1 { word-break: keep-all }</code>
      <tbody>
      <tr>
        <th scope=row>Expected rendering
        <td>
          <pre lang=ja>
          窓ぎわのトットちゃ
          ん</pre>
        <td>
          <pre lang=ja>
          窓ぎわの
          トットちゃん</pre>
      <tr>
        <th scope=row>Result in your browser
        <td>
          <samp lang=ja>
          窓ぎわの<wbr>トットちゃん
          </samp>
        <td>
          <samp style="word-break:keep-all" lang=ja>
          窓ぎわの<wbr>トットちゃん
          </samp>
      </table>
    </div>

    <p>When shaping scripts such as Arabic
      are allowed to break within words due to ''word-break/break-all''
      the characters must still be shaped
      as if the word were <a href="#word-break-shaping">not broken</a>
      (see [[#word-break-shaping]]).

        word-break/word-break-break-all-004.html
      </wpt>

    <p>For compatibility with legacy content,
      the 'word-break' property also supports a deprecated <dfn value for=word-break>break-word</dfn> keyword.
      When specified, this has the same effect as
      ''word-break: normal'' and ''overflow-wrap: anywhere'',
      regardless of the actual value of the 'overflow-wrap' property.

    Line Breaking Strictness: the 'line-break' property</h3>

    Name: line-break
    Value: auto | loose | normal | strict | anywhere

    <p>This property specifies the strictness of line-breaking rules applied
      within an element:
      especially how <a>wrapping</a> interacts with punctuation and symbols.
      Values have the following meanings:</p>

    <dl dfn-for=line-break dfn-type=value>
      <dt><dfn>auto</dfn></dt>
      <dd>The UA determines the set of line-breaking restrictions to use,
        and it may vary the restrictions based on the length of the line; e.g.,
        use a less restrictive set of line-break rules for short lines.
      <dt><dfn>loose</dfn></dt>
      <dd>Breaks text using the least restrictive set of line-breaking
        rules. Typically used for short lines, such as in newspapers.</dd>
      <dt><dfn>normal</dfn></dt>
      <dd>Breaks text using the most common set of line-breaking rules.</dd>
      <dt><dfn>strict</dfn></dt>
      <dd>Breaks text using the most stringent set of line-breaking
        rules.</dd>
      <dt><dfn>anywhere</dfn></dt>
      <dd>There is a <a>soft wrap opportunity</a> around every <a>typographic character unit</a>,
      including around any punctuation character or [=preserved white spaces=],
      or in the middle of words,
      disregarding any prohibition against line breaks,
      even those introduced by characters with the GL, WJ, or ZWJ character class (see [[UAX14]])
      or mandated by the 'word-break' property.
      The different wrapping opportunities must not be prioritized.
      Hyphenation is not applied.

      Note: This value triggers the line breaking rules typically seen in terminals.</dd>

      <div class=note>
        Note: ''line-break/anywhere'' only allows [=preserved white spaces=] at the end of the line
        to be wrapped to the next line when 'white-space' is set to ''white-space/break-spaces'',
        because in other cases:
        * [=preserved white space=] at the end/start of the line is discarded (''white-space/normal'', ''white-space/pre-line'')
        * wrapping is forbidden altogether (''nowrap'', ''pre'')
        * the [=preserved white space=] [=hang=] (''pre-wrap'').

        When it does have an effect on [=preserved white space=],
        with ''white-space: break-spaces'',
        it allows breaking before the first space of a sequence,
        which ''break-spaces'' on its own does not.

    <p>CSS distinguishes between four levels of strictness in the rules for
      text wrapping.
      The precise set of rules in effect for each of ''line-break/loose'', ''line-break/normal'', and ''line-break/strict'' is up to the UA
      and should follow language conventions.
      However, this specification does require that:</p>

    <ul>
      <li>
        The following breaks are forbidden in ''strict'' line breaking
        and allowed in ''line-break/normal'' and ''loose'':
        <ul>
          <li>breaks before Japanese small kana or the Katakana-Hiragana prolonged sound mark,
            i.e. character from the Unicode line breaking class <code>CJ</code> [[!UAX14]].

    <div class="example">
      As UAs can add additional distinctions

      these values can exhibit differences in other writing systems as well.
      For example, a UA with sufficiently-advanced Thai language processing ability
      could choose to map different levels of strictness in Thai line-breaking
      to these keywords,
      e.g. disallowing breaks within compound words in ''line-break/strict'' mode
      (e.g. breaking ตัวอย่างการเขียนภาษาไทย as ตัวอย่าง·การเขียน·ภาษาไทย)
      while allowing more breaks in ''line-break/loose''

    Hyphenation: the 'hyphens' property</h3>

    <p><dfn id=hyphenate lt="hyphenation|hyphenate">Hyphenation</dfn>
      is the controlled splitting of words
      where they usually would not be allowed to break
      to improve the layout of paragraphs,
      typically splitting words at syllabic or morphemic boundaries,
      and visually indicating the split (usually by inserting a hyphen, U+2010).
      In some cases, hyphenation may also alter the spelling of a word.
      Regardless, hyphenation is a rendering effect only:
      it must have no effect on the underlying document content
      or on text selection or searching.

    <p>Hyphenation occurs when the line breaks at a valid
      <dfn>hyphenation opportunity</dfn>,
      which is a type of <a>soft wrap opportunity</a>
      that exists within a word where <a>hyphenation</a> is allowed.
      In CSS <a>hyphenation opportunities</a> are controlled
      with the 'hyphens' property.
      CSS Text Level 3 does not define the exact rules for <a>hyphenation</a>;
      however UAs are strongly encouraged
      to optimize their choice of break points
      and to chose language-appropriate hyphenation points.

      Note: The [=soft wrap opportunity=] introduced by
      the U+002D HYPHEN-MINUS character
      or the U+2010 HYPHEN character
      is not a [=hyphenation opportunity=],
      as no visual indication of the split is <em>created</em> when wrapping:
      these characters are visible whether the line is wrapped at that point or not.

      Hyphenation opportunities <em>are</em> considered when calculating
      <a lt="min-content size">min-content intrinsic sizes</a>.
    <!-- This is because it allows tables to hyphenate instead of overflowing,

          if the word contains a conditional hyphen (&amp;shy; or U+00AD),
          in favor of the conditional hyphen(s).
          However, if, even after breaking at such opportunities,
          a portion of that word is still too long to fit on one line,
          an automatic hyphenation opportunity may be used.

    <p>Correct automatic hyphenation requires a hyphenation resource
      appropriate to the language of the text being broken.
      The UA must therefore only automatically hyphenate text
      for which the <a>content language</a> is known
      and for which it has an appropriate hyphenation resource.

      <wpt>
        hyphens/hyphens-auto-001.html

    <p class="advisement">
      Authors should correctly tag their content’s <a lt="content language">language</a>
      (e.g. using the HTML <code>lang</code> attribute
      or XML <code>xml:lang</code> attribute)
      in order to obtain correct automatic hyphenation.

      The UA may use language-tailored heuristics
      to exclude certain words
      from automatic hyphenation.
      For example, a UA might try to avoid hyphenation in proper nouns
      by excluding words matching certain capitalization and punctuation patterns.
      Such heuristics are not defined by this specification.
      (Note that such heuristics will need to vary by language:
      English and German, for example, have very different capitalization conventions.)

      <p>For the purpose of the 'hyphens' property,
      what constitutes a “word” is UA-dependent.
      However, inline element boundaries
      and out-of-flow elements
      must be ignored when determining word boundaries.

    <p>A block of text is a stack of
      <a href="https://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/visuren.html#line-box">line boxes</a>.
      This property specifies how the inline-level boxes within each line box
      align with respect to the start and end sides of the line box.
      Alignment is not with respect to the
      <a href="https://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/visuren.html#viewport">viewport</a>
      or containing block.

    <p>In the case of ''justify'', the UA may stretch or shrink any inline boxes
      by <a href="#text-justify-property">adjusting</a> their text. (See 'text-justify'.)
      If an element's [=white space=] is not <a href="#collapse">collapsible</a>,
      then the UA is not required to adjust its text for the purpose of justification
      and may instead treat the text as having no <a>justification opportunities</a>.
      If the UA chooses to adjust the text, then it must ensure
      that <a>tab stops</a> continue to line up as required by the
      <a href="#white-space-rules">white space processing rules</a>.

    <p>This property selects the justification method used when a line's

      The property applies to inlines,

    <dl dfn-for=text-justify dfn-type=value>
      <dt><dfn>auto</dfn></dt>
        <dd>The UA determines the justification algorithm to follow, based
          on a balance between performance and adequate presentation quality.
          Since justification rules vary by writing system and language,
          UAs should, where possible, use a justification algorithm appropriate to the text.

          <wpt pathprefix="/css/CSS2">
              text/letter-spacing-justify-001.xht
              text/word-spacing-justify-001.xht
          </wpt>

          <p class="example">
          For example, the UA could use by default a justification method that is a
          simple universal compromise for all writing systems&mdash;such as
          primarily expanding <a>word separators</a>
          and between CJK <a>typographic letter units</a>
          along with secondarily expanding between Southeast Asian <a>typographic letter units</a>.
          Then, in cases where the <a>content language</a> of the paragraph is known,
          it could choose a more language-tailored justification behavior
          e.g. following [[JLREQ]] for Japanese,
          using cursive elongation for Arabic,
          using ''inter-word'' for German,
          etc.

                 title="Swash forms elongate the first line while a compressed contextual ligature shortens the second, allowing both to end precisely together."

          <p class="caption">An example of cursively-justified Arabic text,
          rendered by <a href="https://www.decotype.com/">Tasmeem</a>.
          Like English, Arabic can be justified by adjusting the spacing between words,
          but in most styles it can also be justified by calligraphically elongating or compressing the letterforms themselves.
          In this example, the upper text is extended to fill the line by the use of elongated (kashida) forms and swash forms,
          while the bottom line is compressed slightly by using a stacked combination for the characters between ت and م.
          By employing traditional calligraphic techniques,
          a typesetter can justify the line while preserving flow and color,
          providing a very high quality justification effect.
          However, this is by its nature a very script-specific effect.

            This effectively uses inter-word + inter-ideograph spacing
            for lines that have word-separators and/or CJK characters

    <p class="advisement">
      Since optimal justification is language-sensitive,
      authors should correctly language-tag their content for the best results.

  Note: The guidelines in this level of CSS do not describe a complete
    justification algorithm. They are merely a minimum set of requirements
    that a complete algorithm should meet. Limiting the set of requirements
    gives UAs some latitude in choosing a justification algorithm that
    meets their needs and desired balance of quality, speed, and complexity.

<h4 id="expanding-text">
Expanding and Compressing Text</h4>

  <p>When justifying text, the user agent takes the remaining space between
    the ends of a line's contents and the edges of its line box, and
    distributes that space throughout its contents so that the contents
    exactly fill the line box.
    The user agent may alternatively distribute negative space,
    putting more content on the line than would otherwise fit under normal spacing conditions.

  <p>A <span id="expansion-opportunity"><dfn export>justification opportunity</dfn></span> is
    a point where the justification algorithm may alter spacing within the text.
    A justification opportunity can be provided by a single <a>typographic character unit</a>
    (such as a <a>word separator</a>),
    or by the juxtaposition of two <a>typographic character units</a>.
    As with controls for <a href="#line-break-details">soft wrap opportunities</a>,
    whether a <a>typographic character unit</a> provides a <a>justification opportunity</a>
    is controlled by the 'text-justify' value of its parent;
    similarly, whether a <a>justification opportunity</a> exists between two consecutive <a>typographic character units</a>
    is determined by the 'text-justify' value of their nearest common ancestor.

  <p>
    Space distributed by justification is <em>in addition to</em>
    the spacing defined by the 'letter-spacing' or 'word-spacing' properties.
    When such additional space is distributed to a <a>word separator</a> <a>justification opportunity</a>,
    it is applied under the same rules as for 'word-spacing'.
    Similarly, when space is distributed to an <a>justification opportunity</a> between
    two <a>typographic character units</a>,
    should be applied under the same rules as for 'letter-spacing'.


  <p>A justification algorithm may divide <a>justification opportunities</a> into different priority levels.
    All <a>justification opportunities</a> within a given level
    are expanded or compressed at the same priority,
    regardless of which <a>typographic character units</a> created that opportunity.
    For example, if <a>justification opportunities</a> between two Han characters
    and between two Latin letters are defined to be at the same level
    (as they are in the ''inter-character'' justification style),
    they are not treated differently because they originate from different <a>typographic character units</a>.
    It is not defined in this level
    whether or how other factors
    (such as font size, letter-spacing, glyph shape, position within the line, etc.)
    may influence the distribution of space to <a>justification opportunities</a> within the line.

  <p>The UA may enable or break optional ligatures or use other font features
  such as alternate glyphs or glyph compression
  to help justify the text under any method.
  This behavior is not controlled by this level of CSS.
  However, UAs <em>must not</em> break required ligatures
  or otherwise disable features required to correctly shape complex scripts.

  <p>If a <a>justification opportunity</a> exists within a line,
     and <a href="#text-align-property">text alignment</a> specifies
     full justification (''text-align/justify'') for that line,
     it must be justified.

<h4 id="justify-symbols">
Handling Symbols and Punctuation</h4>

    <p>When determining <a>justification opportunities</a>,
      a <a>typographic character unit</a> from the Unicode Symbols (S*) and Punctuation (P*) classes
      is generally treated the same as a <a>typographic letter unit</a> of the same script
      (or, if the character's script property is Common,
      then as a <a>typographic letter unit</a> of the dominant script).

    <p>However, by typographic tradition there may be additional rules
      controlling the justification of symbols and punctuation.
      Therefore, the UA may reassign specific characters
      or introduce additional levels of prioritization
      to handle <a>justification opportunities</a> involving symbols and punctuation.

    <p class="example">
      For example, there are traditionally no <a>justification opportunities</a>
      between consecutive
      U+2014 Em Dash ‘—’,
      U+2015 Horizontal Bar ‘―’,
      U+2026 Horizontal Ellipsis ‘…’,
      or U+2025 Two Dot Leader ‘‥’
      characters [[JLREQ]];
      thus a UA might assign these characters to a “never” prioritization level.
      As another example, certain fullwidth punctuation characters
      (such as U+301A Left White Square Bracket ‘〚’)
      are considered to contain a <a>justification opportunity</a> in Japanese.
      The UA might therefore assign these characters to a higher prioritization
      level than the opportunities between ideographic characters.

<h4 id="justify-limits">
Unexpandable Text</h4>

    <p>If the inline contents of a line cannot be stretched to the full width of the line box,
      then they must be aligned as specified by the 'text-align-last' property.
      (If 'text-align-last' is ''justify'', then
      they must be aligned as for ''center''.)

      <wpt>
        text-align/text-align-last-empty-inline.html
      </wpt>

<h4 id="justify-cursive">
Cursive Scripts</h4>

    <p>Justification <em>must not</em> introduce gaps between the joined <a>typographic letter units</a>
      of <a>cursive scripts</a> such as Arabic.
      If it is able, the UA <em>may</em>
      translate space distributed to <a>justification opportunities</a> within a run of such <a>typographic letter units</a>
      into some form of cursive elongation for that run.
      It otherwise <em>must</em> assume that no <a>justification opportunity</a> exists
      between any pair of <a>typographic letter units</a> in <a>cursive script</a>
      (regardless of whether they join).

      <wpt>
        text-justify/text-justify-004.html
        text-justify/text-justify-005.html
      </wpt>

    <div class="example">
      <p>The following are examples of unacceptable justification:
      <div class="figure">
        <p><img alt="" src="images/arabic-stretch-spaced.png">
        <p class="caption">Adding gaps between every pair of Arabic letters
      </div>
      <div class="figure">
        <p><img alt="" src="images/arabic-stretch-unjoined.png">
        <p class="caption">Adding gaps between every pair of unjoined Arabic letters
      </div>
    </div>

    <p>Some font designs allow for the use of the tatweel character for justification.
    A UA that performs tatweel-based justification must properly handle the rules for its use.
    Note that correct insertion of tatweel characters depends on context, including
    the letter-combinations involved, location within the word, and location of the word within the line.

<h4 id="justify-algos">
Minimum Requirements for ''text-justify/auto'' Justification</h4>

  <p>For <a value for=text-justify>auto</a> justification, this specification does not define
  what all of the <a>justification opportunities</a> are,
  how they are prioritized, or
  when and how multiple levels of <a>justification opportunities</a> interact.
  However, it does require that

  <ul>
    <li>
      Unless contraindicated by the typographic traditions of the <a>content language</a> or adjacent symbols/punctuation,
      each of the following provides a <a>justification opportunity</a>:
      <ul>
        <li><a>Word separators</a>
        <li>The boundary between a <a>typographic character unit</a> of any <a>block scripts</a> and any other <a>typographic character unit</a>
        <li>The boundary between a <a>typographic character unit</a> of any <a>clustered scripts</a> and any other <a>typographic character unit</a>
      </ul>
    <li>
      All <a>letters</a> belonging to all <a>block scripts</a> are treated the same,
      and all <a>letters</a> belonging to all <a>clustered scripts</a> are treated the same.
      For example, no distinction is made between
      the justification opportunity between a Han letter followed by another Han letter,
      vs. the justification opportunity between a Han letter followed by a Hangul letter.
  </ul>

  <p>For <a href="https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/1484">legacy reasons</a>,
  a computed 'letter-spacing' of zero
  yields a <a>resolved value</a> (<code>getComputedStyle()</code> return value)
  of ''letter-spacing/normal''.

    <p>For the purpose of 'letter-spacing', each consecutive run of atomic
      inlines (such as images and inline blocks) is treated as a single
      <a>typographic character unit</a>.

      <wpt>
        letter-spacing/letter-spacing-204.html
      </wpt>

    <p>Letter-spacing must not be applied at the beginning of a line.
    Whether letter-spacing is applied at the end of a line is undefined in this level.

    </wpt>

  <div class="example">
    <p>When letter-spacing is not applied at the beginning or end of a line,
    text always fits flush with the edge of the block.
    <pre>

    <p class="ls-ex good ls-fixed-width color-box" style="text-align: right">a&#x3000;b&#x3000;c</p>

    <p>UAs therefore <em>really should not</em> [[RFC6919]]

  </div>

    <p>Letter spacing between two <a>typographic character units</a> effectively “belongs”
      to the innermost element that contains the two <a>typographic character units</a>:
      the total letter spacing between two adjacent <a>typographic character units</a> (after bidi reordering)
      is specified by and rendered within
      the innermost element that <em>contains</em> the boundary between the two <a>typographic character units</a>.
      However, the UA may instead attach letter-spacing at element boundaries
      to one or the other <a>typographic character unit</a>
      using the letter-spacing value pertaining to its containing element.

      Note: This secondary behavior is permitted in this level
      due to Web-compat concerns.

  <div class="example">
    <p>An inline box is expected to only include
    letter spacing between characters completely contained within that element,
    thus excluding letter spacing on the right or trailing edge of the element:

    <pre>
      p    { letter-spacing: 1em; }

      &lt;p>a&lt;span>bb&lt;/span>c&lt;/p></pre>

    <p class="ls-ex good">a&#x3000;<span class="color-box">b&#x3000;b</span>&#x3000;c</p>

    <p class="ls-ex bad">a&#x3000;<span class="color-box">b&#x3000;b&#x3000;</span>c</p>

    <p>Consequently a given value of 'letter-spacing' is expected
    to only affect the spacing between characters
    completely contained within the element for which it is specified:

    <pre>
      p    { letter-spacing: 1em; }
      span { letter-spacing: 2em; }

      &lt;p>a&lt;span>bb&lt;/span>c&lt;/p></pre>

    <p class="ls-ex">a&#x3000;<span class="color-box">b&#x3000;&#x3000;b</span>&#x3000;c</p>

    <p>This further implies that applying 'letter-spacing' to
    an element containing only a single character
    has no effect on the rendered result:

    <pre>
      p    { letter-spacing: 1em; }
      span { letter-spacing: 2em; }

      &lt;p>a&lt;span>b&lt;/span>c&lt;/p></pre>

    <p class="ls-ex">a&#x3000;<span class="color-box">b</span>&#X3000;c</p>

    <p>Since letter spacing is inserted <strong>after</strong> RTL reordering,
    the letter spacing applied to the inner span below likewise has no effect,
    since after reordering the "c" doesn't end up next to "&#x5d0;":
    <pre>
      p    { letter-spacing: 1em; }
      span { letter-spacing: 2em; }

      &lt;!-- abc followed by Hebrew letters alef (&#x5d0;), bet (&#x5d1;) and gimel (&#x5d2;) -->
      &lt;!-- Reordering will display these in reverse order. --&gt;
      <bdo dir=ltr>&lt;p>ab&lt;span>c&#x5d0;&lt;/span>&#x5d1;&#x5d2;&lt;/p></bdo></pre>

    <p class="ls-ex">a&#x3000;b</span>&#x3000;<span class="color-box">c</span>&#x3000;<span class="color-box">&#x5d0;</span>&#x3000;&#x5d1;&#x3000;&#x5d2;</p>
  </div>

    <p>Letter spacing ignores invisible zero-width formatting characters
      (such as those from the Unicode Cf category).
      Spacing must be added as if those characters did not exist in the document.

      <wpt>
        letter-spacing/letter-spacing-control-chars-001.html
        letter-spacing/letter-spacing-202.html
      </wpt>

    <p class="example">For example, 'letter-spacing' applied to
      <code>A&amp;#x200B;B</code> is identical to <code>AB</code>,
      regardless of where any element boundaries might fall.

    <p>When the effective spacing between two characters is not zero
      (due to either <a href="#text-justify-property">justification</a>
      or a non-zero value of 'letter-spacing'),
      user agents should not apply optional ligatures,
      i.e. those that are not defined as required
      for fundamentally correct glyph shaping.
      However, ligatures and other font features
      specified via the low-level 'font-feature-settings' property
      take precedence over this rule.
      See [[css-fonts-3#feature-precedence]].

    <div class="example">
      For example, if the word “filial” is letter-spaced,
      an “fi” ligature should not be used
      as it will prevent even spacing of the text.

      <figure>
        <p><strong style="letter-spacing: 0.5em">filial</strong> vs <strong style="letter-spacing: 0.5em">filial</strong>
      </figure>
    </div>

    Note: In OpenType, required ligatures are expected
    to be associated to the <code>rlig</code> feature.
    All other ligatures are therefore considered optional.
    In some cases, however, UA or platform heuristics
    apply additional ligatures in order to handle broken fonts;
    this specification does not define or override such exceptional handling.

<h4 id="cursive-tracking">
Cursive Scripts</h4>

    <p>If it is able, the UA <em>may</em> apply letter spacing to <a>cursive scripts</a>
    by translating the total extra space to be distributed to a run of such letters
    into some form of cursive elongation (or compression, for negative tracking values) for that run
    that results in an equivalent total expansion (or compression) of the run.
    Otherwise, if the UA cannot expand text from a <a>cursive script</a>
    without breaking its cursive connections,
    it <em>must not</em> apply spacing
    between any pair of that script's <a>typographic letter units</a> at all
    (effectively treating each word as a single <a>typographic letter unit</a>
    for the purpose of letter-spacing).
    Both cases will result in an effective spacing of zero between such letters;
    however the former will preserve the sense of stretching out the text.

    <div class="example">
      <p>Below are some appropriate and inappropriate examples of spacing out Arabic text.
      <table class="data">
      <thead>
        <tr><td><img src="images/arabic-stretch-original.png" alt="">
            <td>&mdash;

            <th>Even distribution of space between each letter.
                <em>Notice this breaks cursive joins!</em>
        <tr><td><img src="images/arabic-stretch-kashida.png" alt="">
            <td class="ok">OK
            <th>Distributing &sum;<var>letter-spacing</var> by typographically-appropriate cursive elongation.
            <em>The resulting text is as long as the previous evenly-spaced example.</em>
        <tr><td><img src="images/arabic-stretch-suppressed.png" alt="">
            <td class="ok">OK
            <th>Suppressing 'letter-spacing' between Arabic letters.

            <td class="no">BAD
            <th>Applying 'letter-spacing' only between non-joined letters.
                <em>This distorts typographic color and obfuscates word boundaries.</em>
      </table>
    </div>
    <div class="note">
      Note: Proper cursive elongation or compression of a text
      can vary depending on the
      script, typeface, language,
      location within a word, location within a line,
      implementation complexity, font capabilities,
      and calligraphic preferences,
      and may not be possible in certain cases at all.
      It may involve the use of shortening ligatures,
      swash variants, contextual forms,
      elongation glyphs such as U+0640 ARABIC TATWEEL,
      or other microtypography.
      It is outside the scope of CSS to define rules for these effects.
      Authors should avoid applying 'letter-spacing' to cursive scripts
      unless they are prepared to accept non-interoperable results.

  <div class="example">
    An example of reasonable and possible shaping across boundaries
    is Arabic shaping:
    in many systems this is performed by the font engine,
    allowing the font to provide variant glyphs
    with potentially very sophisticated contextual shaping.
    It's not generally possible to rely on this system across a font change
    unless the font engine has an API to provide context,
    but it is straightforward and therefore quite reasonable
    for an engine to work around this limitation by, for example,
    using the zero-width-joiner (U+200D) or zero-width-non-joiner (U+200C)
    as appropriate to solicit the correct choice of
    initial/medial/final/isolated glyph.

    An example of possible but not reasonable shaping across boundaries
    is handling a font that is sensitive to 20 characters of context
    on either side to choose its glyphs:
    passing all the text before <em>and after</em> the string in question,
    even through multiple inline boundaries with formatting changes,
    is complicated.
    The UA <em>could</em> handle such cases,
    but is not required to,
    as they are not typical or fundamentally required
    by any modern writing system.

    An example of impossible shaping across boundaries
    is a change in font weight partway through the word “and”
    in a font where a ligature would replace
    all three letters of the word “and”
    with an ampersand glyph (“&amp;”).
<!--
    It's simply not possible for the UA
    to create the effect of a partway-bold single glyph.

    <div class="example">
      <p>If 'text-align' is ''start'' and 'text-indent' is ''5em'' in
      left-to-right text with no floats present, then first line of text
      will start 5em into the block:</p>

      <pre class="output">
             Since CSS1 it has been possible to
        indent the first line of a block element
        5em by setting the 'text-indent' property&nbsp;
        to '5em'.
      </pre>
      <p>If we add the ''text-indent/hanging'' keyword,
      then the first line will start flush,
      but other lines will be indented 5em:
      <pre class="output">
        In CSS3 we can instead indent all other
             lines of the block element by 5em
             by setting the 'text-indent' property
             to 'hanging 5em'.
      </pre>
    </div>

    <div class="example">
      <p>Since the 'text-indent' property only affects the “first formatted line”,
      a line after a forced break will not be indented.
      <pre class="output">
           For example, in the middle of
        this paragraph is an equation,
        which is centered:
                     x + y = z
        The first line after the equation
        is flush (else it would look like
        we started a new paragraph).
      </pre>
      <p>However, sometimes (as in poetry or code),
      it is appropriate to indent each line
      that happens to be long enough to wrap.
      In the following example, 'text-indent'
      is given a value of ''3em hanging each-line'',
      giving the third line of the poem a hanging indent
      where it soft-wraps at the block's right boundary:
      <pre class="output">
        In a short line of text
        There need be no wrapping,
        But when we go on and on and on&nbsp;&nbsp;
           and on,
        Sometimes a soft break
        Can help us stay on the page.
      </pre>
    </div>

    <p class="note">Note: Since the 'text-indent' property inherits,
      when specified on a block element, it will affect descendant
      inline-block elements.
      For this reason, it is often wise to specify 'text-indent: 0' on
      elements that are specified 'display: inline-block'.</p>

    Hanging Glyphs</h3>

    <p>When a glyph at the start or end edge of a line <dfn lt="hang">hangs</dfn>,
      it is not considered
      when measuring the line's contents for fit, alignment, or justification.
      Depending on the line's alignment/justification, this can
      result in the mark being placed outside the line box.
      The [=hanging=] glyph is also not taken into account
      when computing intrinsic sizes (min-content size and max-content size),
      and any sizes derived thereof.
      (The interaction of this measurement and kerning is currently UA-defined;
      the CSSWG <a href="https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/2397">welcomes advice</a> on this point.)

      <wpt>
          white-space/full-width-leading-spaces-004.html
      </wpt>

    <p>A <dfn><a lt=hang>hanging</a> glyph</dfn>
      is still enclosed inside its parent inline box
      and still participates in text justification:
      its character advance is just not measured when determining
      how much content fits on the line,
      how much the line's contents need to be expanded or compressed for justification,
      or how to position the content within the line box for text alignment.
      Effectively, the <a>hanging</a> glyph character advance
      is re-interpreted as an additional negative margin
      on the affected edge of its parent <a>inline box</a>;
      the line is otherwise laid out as usual.
      An overflowing [=hanging glyph=] should typically be considered
      [=ink overflow=] [[!CSS-OVERFLOW-3]]
      so as to avoid creating unnecessary scrollbars,
      but the UA may treat it as [=scrollable overflow=]
      when the content is editable
      or in other circumstances where treating it as [=scrollable overflow=]
      would be useful to the user.

      <wpt>
        hanging-punctuation/hanging-scrollable-001.html
        white-space/white-space-intrinsic-size-019.html
        white-space/white-space-intrinsic-size-020.html
      </wpt>

    <p>In some cases, a glyph at the end of a line
      can <dfn>conditionally hang</dfn>:
      it [=hangs=] only if it does not otherwise fit in the line prior to justification.
      It is not considered when measuring the line’s contents for fit;
      however, any part of it that does not fit
      is considered to [=hang=].
      Glyphs that [=conditionally hang=] are not taken into account
      when computing [=min-content sizes=]
      and any sizes derived thereof,
      but they are taken into account for [=max-content sizes=]
      and any sizes derived thereof.

        white-space/white-space-intrinsic-size-014.html
        white-space/white-space-intrinsic-size-017.html
      </wpt>

    <p>Non-zero inline-axis borders or padding between
      a <a>hang</a>able glyph and the edge of the line prevent the glyph from hanging.
      For example, a period at the end of an inline box with end padding
      does not <a>hang</a> at the end edge of a line.

    <p>Multiple adjacent glyphs can hang together,
      however there may be limits on how many are allowed to hang
      (e.g. at most one punctuation character may <a>hang</a> at each edge of the line).

<h3 id="bidi-linebox">
Bidirectionality and Line Boxes</h3>

  <p>The <a spec=css-writing-modes-3>start</a> and <a spec=css-writing-modes-3>end</a> sides of a line box
    are determined by the <a>inline base direction</a> of the line box.
    Although they usually match,
    the [=inline base direction=] of a [=line box=]
    is distinct from the [=inline base direction=]
    of the [=containing block=] or the [=bidi paragraph=].
    The [=line box=]’s [=inline base direction=] affects
    'text-align-all', 'text-align-last', 'text-indent', and 'hanging-punctuation'--
    i.e. the position and alignment of its contents with respect to its edges.
    It does not affect the formatting or ordering of inline content
    (which is controlled by the Unicode bidirectional algorithm
    as applied by [[CSS-WRITING-MODES-3]]).

  <p>In most cases, a [=line box=]’s [=inline base direction=]
  is given by its [=containing block=]'s computed 'direction'.
  However if its [=containing block=] has ''unicode-bidi: plaintext'' [[!CSS-WRITING-MODES-3]]:

  <ul>
    <li>If the [=bidi paragraph=] to which the [=line box=] belongs
      (that is, the <a>bidi paragraph</a> for which the line box holds content)
      has strong directionality,
      the line box's <a>inline base direction</a> is that direction.

    <li>If the [=line box=] is empty
      (i.e. contains no [=atomic inlines=] or
      characters other than the newline character, if any)
      or otherwise has no strong directionality
      (contains only weak or neutral characters),
      its <a>inline base direction</a> is taken
      from the preceding line box (if any),
      or, if this is the first line box in the containing block,
      from the 'direction' property of the containing block.
      (This can result in an RTL line box whose contents have an LTR base direction.)
  </ul>

  <div class="example">
    <p>In the following example,
    assuming the <code>&lt;block&gt;</code>
    is a start-aligned preformatted block
    (''display: block; white-space: pre; text-align: start''),
    every other line is right-aligned:
    <pre dir=auto>
      &lt;block style="unicode-bidi: plaintext"&gt;
        français
        فارسی
        français
        فارسی
        français
        فارسی
      &lt;/block&gt;</pre>
  </div>


  <div class="example">
    <p>Because neutral characters (such as punctuation)
    and isolated runs are skipped
    when <a href="http://unicode.org/reports/tr9/#P2">finding the inline base direction of a plaintext bidi paragraph</a>,
    the line box in the following example will be left-to-right
    (and thus left-aligned given ''text-align: start''),
    as dictated by the first strong character, ‘h’:
    <pre>
      &lt;para style="display: block; direction: rtl; unicode-bidi:plaintext">
      “&lt;quote style="unicode-bidi:plaintext">שלום!&lt;/quote>”, he said.
      &lt;/para&gt;</pre>
  </div>

  <div class="example">
    <pre>
      &lt;textarea style="direction: rtl; unicode-bidi:plaintext">

      Hello!

      &lt;/textarea>
    </pre>

    <p>Because of ''unicode-bidi: plaintext'',
      the “Hello!” is typeset LTR
      (i.e. with the exclamation mark on the right side)
      and left-aligned,
      ignoring the containing block’s RTL 'direction'.
      This makes the empty line following it LTR as well,
      which means that a caret on that line should appear at its left edge.
      The empty first line, however, is right-aligned:
      having no preceding line,
      it assumes the RTL direction of its containing block.

Appendix D: Scripts and Spacing</h2>

  <p><em>This appendix is normative.</em></p>

  <p>Typographic behavior varies somewhat by language, but varies drastically by writing system.
  	This appendix categorizes some common <a lt="Unicode script">scripts</a> in Unicode 6.0
    according to their justification and spacing behavior.
  	Category descriptions are descriptive, not prescriptive;
  	the determining factor is the prioritization of <a>justification opportunities</a>.

  <dl>
  	<dt><dfn>block scripts</dfn></dt>
  	<dd>CJK and by extension all Wide characters (see [[!UAX11]].)
  	  The following <a>Unicode scripts</a> are included:
      Bopomofo, Han, Hangul, Hiragana, Katakana, and Yi.
      Characters of the <a>East Asian Width property</a>
      <code>Wide</code> and <code>Fullwidth</code> are also included,
      but <code>Ambiguous</code> characters are included only if
      the <a>writing system</a> is
      <a for=writing-system>Chinese</a>, <a for=writing-system>Korean</a>, or <a for=writing-system>Japanese</a>.
  	<dt><dfn>clustered scripts</dfn></dt>
  	<dd>Clustered scripts have discrete units
      and break only at word boundaries,
      but do not use visible word separators.
      They prioritize stretching spaces,
      but comfortably admit inter-character spacing for justification.
  	  The clustered scripts include, but are not limited to, the following <a>Unicode scripts</a>:
      Khmer,
      Lao,
      Myanmar,
      New Tai Lue,
      Tai Le,
      Tai Tham,
      Tai Viet,
      Thai
  	<dt><dfn lt="cursive script">cursive scripts</dfn>
  	<dd>Cursive scripts do not admit gaps between their letters for either justification or 'letter-spacing'.
      The following <a>Unicode scripts</a> are included:
      Arabic,
      Mandaic,
      Mongolian,
      N'Ko,
      Phags Pa,
      Syriac

      Note: Indic scripts with baseline connectors
      (such as Devanagari and Gujarati)
      <em>are not</em> considered [=cursive scripts=],
      and <em>do</em> admit such gaps
      between [=typographic character units=].
      See [[ILREQ]].
  </dl>

  <p>User agents should update this list as they update their Unicode support
    to handle as-yet-unencoded cursive scripts in future versions of Unicode,
    and are encouraged to ask the CSSWG to update this spec accordingly.

<h2 id="character-properties" class="no-num">Appendix E.
Characters and Properties</h2>

  <p>Unicode defines four code point-level properties that are referenced
    in CSS typesetting:
  <dl export>
    <dt><dfn lt="Unicode East Asian Width|East Asian Width property"><a href="http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr11/#Definitions">East Asian width property</a></dfn>
    <dd>Defined in [[!UAX11]] and given as the <code>East_Asian_Width</code> property
      in the Unicode Character Database [[!UAX44]].
    <dt><dfn lt="Unicode General Category|Unicode category|General Category"><a href="http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr44/#General_Category_Values">general category</a></dfn>
    <dd>Defined in [[!UAX44]] and given as the <code>General_Category</code> property
      in the Unicode Character Database [[!UAX44]].
    <dt><dfn lt="Unicode Script|Script property"><a href="http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr24/#Values">script property</a></dfn>
    <dd>Defined in [[!UAX24]] and given as the <code>Script</code> property
      in the Unicode Character Database [[!UAX44]].
      (UAs must include any ScriptExtensions.txt assignments in this mapping.)
    <dt><a href="http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr50/">Vertical Orientation</a>
    <dd>Defined in [[!UTR50]] as the Vertical_Orientation property
      and given in the UTR50 data file.
  </dl>

  <p>Unicode defines properties for individual code points, but sometimes
    it is necessary to determine the properties of a <a>typographic character unit</a>.
    For the purposes of CSS Text,
    the properties of a <a>typographic character unit</a> are given by
    the base character of its first <a>grapheme cluster</a>—except in two cases:
  <ul>
    <li><a>Grapheme clusters</a> formed with an Enclosing Mark (<code>Me</code>) of the Common script
    are considered to be Other Symbols (<code>So</code>) in the Common script.
    They are assumed to have the same Unicode properties as the Replacement Character U+FFFD.
    <li>Grapheme clusters</a> formed with a Space Separator (<code>Zs</code>) as the base
    are considered to be Modifier Symbols (<code>Sk</code>).
    They are assumed to have the same East Asian Width property as the base,
    but take their other properties from the first combining character in the sequence.

  For future revisions of [[UNICODE]],

  <details class="note">
    <summary>Wherefore this table of “space-discarding characters”?</summary>

    The purpose of the [[#line-break-transform|segment break transformation rules]]
    is to “unbreak” text that has been formatted
    with extra white space for source code readability,
    see [[#line-break-transform]].

    In most cases, “unbreaking” a line of text requires joining them with a space,
    but some writing systems don't use spaces
    so such texts need to be joined without any space.
    CSS uses the characters before and after to determine
    whether to join lines with or without a space.

    For simplicity and for ease of implementation,
    the classification of characters as space-discarding or space-preserving
    is done by Unicode code block.
    Ideally, such a list would be maintained in [[UNICODE]],
    but the Unicode Technical Committee has yet
    to express any intention of taking on this task.
    In the meantime, in the interest of bringing
    more of the text-processing facilities of CSS and HTML
    that are available to Western writing systems
    to Eastern writing systems as well,
    the CSSWG is maintaining this appendix
    and refining the rules in [[#line-break-transform]],
    and hopes that in the future,
    once CSS has demonstrated its viability,
    the Unicode Consortium will recognize the need for an “unbreaking” algorithm
    and take over maintenance of such.

    things that could use an unbreaking algorithm:
      * HTML/CSS
      * Markdown
      * TeX
      * text editors' “unbreak lines” commands

<h2 id="script-tagging" class="no-num">Appendix F.
Identifying the Content Writing System</h2>

	<p><em>This appendix is normative.</em></p>

	While most languages have a preferred writing system,
	some have multiple, and
	most can also be transcribed into one or more foreign writing systems.
	As a common example, most languages have at least one Latin transcription,
	and can thus be written in the Latin writing system.
	Transcribed texts typically adopt the typographic conventions of the writing system:
	for example Japanese “romaji” and Chinese Pinyin use Latin letters and word spaces,
	and follow Latin line-breaking and justification practices accordingly.
	As another example, historical ideographic Korean
	(<code>ko-Hani</code>)
	does not use word spaces,
	and should therefore be typeset similar to Chinese
	rather than modern Korean.

<!-- Tagging the Writing System -->

	In [[HTML]] or any other <a>document language</a> using [[BCP47]] to declare the [=content language=],
	authors can disambiguate or indicate the use of an atypical writing system
	with script subtags.
	For example, to indicate use of the Latin writing system
	for languages which don't natively use it,
	the <code>-Latn</code> script subtag can be added,
	e.g. <code>ja-Latn</code> for Japanese romaji.
	Other subtags exist for other writing systems,
	see [[ISO15924]] and the <a href="http://unicode.org/iso15924/iso15924-codes.html">ISO15924 script tag registry</a>.

	<div class="example">
		Some common/historical examples of using [[BCP47]] tags with script subtags:
		<dl>
			<dt><code>zh-Latn</code>
			<dd>Chinese, written in Latin transcription.
			<dt><code>ko-Hani</code>
			<dd>Korean, written in Hanja (Chinese ideographic characters).
			<dt><code>tr-Arab</code>
			<dd>Turkish, written in Arabic script.
			<dt><code>mn-Cyrl</code>
			<dd>Mongolian, written in Cyrillic.
			<dt><code>mn-Mong</code>
			<dd>Mongolian, written in traditional Mongolian script.
		</dl>
	</div>

	However, [[BCP47]] script subtags are not typically used
	(and are in fact discouraged)
	for languages strongly associated with a single writing system:
	instead that writing system is expected to be implied
	when no other is specified.
	IANA maintains a database of various languages’ most common writing system
	via the <code>Suppress-Script</code> field in its
	<a href="https://www.iana.org/assignments/language-subtag-registry/language-subtag-registry">language subtag registry</a>
	for this purpose.

	Note: More advice on language tagging can be found in
	the <a href="https://www.w3.org/International/core/">Internationalization Working Group</a>’s
	<a href="https://www.w3.org/International/articles/language-tags/">“Language tags in HTML and XML”</a>
	and <a href="https://www.w3.org/International/questions/qa-choosing-language-tags">“Choosing a Language Tag”</a>.

<!-- Assuming the Writing System -->

	When no writing system is explicitly indicated,
	UAs should assume the most common writing system
	of the declared <a>content language</a>
	for language-sensitive typographic behaviors
	such as line-breaking or justification.
	However, UAs must not assume that writing system
	if the author has explicitly declared a different one.
	If the UA has no language-specific knowledge
	of a particular language and writing system combination,
	it must use the typographic conventions of the declared writing system
	(assuming the conventions of a different language if necessary),
	not the conventions of the declared language in an assumed writing system,
	which would be inappropriate to the declared writing system.

	The full correspondence between languages and their most common writing systems

		then the [=writing system=] is <dfn noexport for=writing-system>Chinese</dfn>.
	* If the [=content language=] is Japanese and the [=writing system=] is unspecified,
		or for any [=content language=] if the [=writing system=] to specified to be one of the ''Jpan'', ''Hrkt'', ''Hira'' or ''Kana'' [[ISO15924]] codes,
		then the [=writing system=] is <dfn noexport for=writing-system>Japanese</dfn>.
		<wpt>
			writing-system/writing-system-line-break-002.html
			writing-system/writing-system-segment-break-001.html
		</wpt>
	* If the [=content language=] is Korean and the [=writing system=] is unspecified,
		or for any [=content language=] if the [=writing system=] to specified to be one of the ''Kore'', ''Hang'', or ''Jamo'' [[ISO15924]] codes,
		then the [=writing system=] is <dfn noexport for=writing-system>Korean</dfn>.
	* The [=writing system=] is only considered to be <dfn noexport for=writing-system lt='known | unknown'>unknown</dfn>
		if the [=content language=] itself is unknown,
		or if it explicitly indicates an unknown writing system.

		Note: Mere omission of the [=writing system=] information when the [=content language=] is declared
		means the that the [=writing system=] is implied, not unknown.
