Abstract: This module defines properties for text manipulation and specifies their processing model. It covers line breaking, justification and alignment, white space handling, and text transformation.
Ignored terms: segment break, segment breaks

White Space Collapsing: the 'text-space-collapse' property</h3>
<p class="issue">This section is still under discussion and may change in future drafts.</p>
<pre class="propdef">
Name: text-space-collapse
Value: collapse | discard | preserve | preserve-auto | preserve-trim | preserve-breaks | preserve-spaces
Initial: collapse
Applies to: all elements
Inherited: yes
Percentages: n/a
Computed value: as specified
Media: visual
</pre>
<p class="issue">Need a property name</p>
This property declares whether and how
<a href="#white-space-processing">white space</a> inside the element is
collapsed. Values have the following meanings, which must be interpreted
according to the white space processing rules:
<dl dfn-for=text-space-collapse dfn-type=value>
<dt><dfn>collapse</dfn>
<dd>
This value directs user agents to collapse sequences of white space
into a single character
(or <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/css-text/#line-break-transform">in some cases</a>, no character).
<dt><dfn>preserve</dfn>
<dd>
This value prevents user agents
from collapsing sequences of white space.
<a>Segment breaks</a> are preserved as forced line breaks.
<dt><dfn>preserve-auto</dfn>
<dd>
This value preserves white space and <a>segment breaks</a> as for ''preserve''.
However, in order to match platform conventions for editable text fields,
the UA <em>may</em> visually collapse
the advance widths of preserved white space
that occurs at the end of a line,
<em>or</em> treat them as collapsed for the purpose of wrapping text
(such that the white space overflows the line instead of wrapping to the front of the next line).
<dt><dfn>preserve-trim</dfn>
<dd>
This value preserves white space and <a>segment breaks</a> as for ''preserve''.
However, the UA <em>must</em> visually collapse to 0
the advance widths of all preserved white space
that occur at the end of a line.
Note: the ''preserve-trim'' value is at risk.
Issue: The CSSWG would appreciate feedback
on the use cases for this value,
to evaluate whether
this value is needed at all
and if so, if trimming leading spaces
could be needed as well.
<dt><dfn>preserve-breaks</dfn>
<dd>
This value collapses white space as for ''collapse'', but preserves
<a>segment breaks</a> as forced line breaks.
<dt><dfn>preserve-spaces</dfn>
<dd>
This value prevents user agents
from collapsing sequences of white space,
and converts tabs and <a>segment breaks</a> to spaces.
(This value is intended to match the behavior
of <code>xml:space="preserve"</code> in SVG.)
<dt><dfn>discard</dfn>
<dd>
This value directs user agents to “discard”
all white space in the element.
Issue: Does this preserve line break opportunities or no? Do we need a "hide" value?
</dl>
<div class="example">
The following style rules implement MathML's white space processing:
<pre>
@namespace m "http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML";
m|* {
text-space-collapse: discard;
}
m|mi, m|mn, m|mo, m|ms, m|mtext {
text-space-collapse: trim-inner;
}
</pre>
</div>
<p class="issue">This section is still under discussion and may change in future drafts.</p>
<h3 id="white-space-trim">
White Space Trimming: the 'text-space-trim' property</h3>
<pre class="propdef">
Name: text-space-trim
Value: none | trim-inner || discard-before || discard-after
Initial: none
Applies to: all elements
Inherited: no
Percentages: n/a
Computed value: as specified
Media: visual
</pre>
This property allows authors to specify trimming behavior
at the beginning and end of a box.
Values have the following meanings,
which must be interpreted according to the white space processing rules:
<dl dfn-for=text-space-trim dfn-type=value>
<dt><dfn>trim-inner</dfn>
<dd>
For block containers this value directs UAs to discard all whitespace
at the beginning of the element up to and including the last <a>segment break</a>
before the first non-white-space character in the element as well as
to discard all white space at the end of the element starting with the
first <a>segment break</a> after the last non-white-space character in the element.
For other elements this value directs UAs to discard all whitespace
at the beginning and end of the element.
<dt><dfn>discard-before</dfn>
<dd>
This value directs the UA to collapse all collapsible whitespace
immediately before the start of the element.
<dt><dfn>discard-after</dfn>
<dd>
This value directs the UA to collapse all collapsible whitespace
immediately after the end of the element.
</dl>
<div class="example">
<p>The following style rules render DT elements as a comma-separated list:
<pre>
dt { display: inline; }
dt + dt:before { content: ", "; text-space-collapse: discard-before; }

<h2 id="wrapping">
Text Wrapping</h2>
Text wrapping is controlled by the 'text-wrap',
'wrap-before',
'wrap-after',
'wrap-inside',
and overflow-wrap properties:
Issue: Add final level 3 overflow-wrap
<h3 id="text-wrap">
Text Wrap Settings: the 'text-wrap' property</h3>
<pre class="propdef">
Name: text-wrap
Value: normal | nowrap | balance
Initial: normal
Applies to: all elements
Inherited: yes
Percentages: n/a
Computed value: as specified
Media: visual
</pre>
This property specifies the mode for text wrapping.
Possible values:
<dl dfn-for=text-wrap dfn-type=value>
<dt><dfn>normal</dfn>
<dd>
Lines may break at allowed break points,
as determined by the line-breaking rules in effect.
Line breaking behavior defined
for the WJ, ZW, and GL line-breaking classes
in [[!UAX14]] must be honored.
Issue: Should this be called ''wrap'' for consistency with 'flex-wrap'?
<dt><dfn>nowrap</dfn>
<dd>
Lines may not break; text that does not fit within the block container
overflows it.
<dt><dfn>balance</dfn>
<dd>
Same as ''text-wrap/normal'' for inline-level elements.
For block-level elements that
contain line boxes as direct children,
line breaks are chosen to balance
the <a>inline-size</a> those line boxes consume,
if better balance than ''text-wrap/normal'' is possible.
This must not change the number of line boxes
the block would contain
if 'text-wrap' were set to ''text-wrap/normal''.
For balancing purposes,
the <a>inline-size</a> to consider includes
any length taken up
by floats that shorten the line box.
The <a>inline-size</a> to consider comes before
any adjustments for justification.
Line boxes are balanced when the standard deviation
from the average <a>inline-size</a> consumed
is reduced over the block
(including lines that end in a forced break).
The exact algorithm is UA-defined.
UAs may treat this value as ''text-wrap/normal'' if there are more than ten lines to balance.
</dl>
Regardless of the 'text-wrap' value,
lines always break at forced breaks:
for all values,
line-breaking behavior defined
for the BK, CR, LF, CM NL, and SG line breaking classes
in [[!UAX14]] must be honored.
UAs that allow breaks at punctuation other than spaces
should prioritize breakpoints.
For example,
if breaks after slashes have a lower priority than spaces,
the sequence “check /etc”
will never break between the ‘/’ and the ‘e’.
The UA may use the width of the containing block,
the text's language,
and other factors in assigning priorities.
As long as care is taken to avoid such awkward breaks,
allowing breaks at appropriate punctuation other than spaces
is recommended,
as it results in more even-looking margins,
particularly in narrow measures.

Issue is about requiring a minimum length for lines.
Common measures seem to be
<ul>
<li>At least as long as the text-indent.
<li>At least X characters.
<li>Percentage-based.
</ul>
Suggestion for value space is ''match-indent | <<length>> | <<percentage>>''
(with ''Xch'' given as an example to make that use case clear).
Alternately <<integer>> could actually count the characters.
It's unclear how this would interact with text balancing (above);
one earlier proposal had them be the same property
(with ''100%'' meaning full balancing).
People have requested word-based limits, but since this is really
dependent on the length of the word, character-based is better.

This property specifies the minimum number of characters in a
hyphenated word. If the word does not meet the required minimum
number of characters in the word / before the hyphen / after the
hyphen, then the word must not be hyphenated. Nonspacing combining
marks (<span class="issue">Unicode class</span>) and intra-word
punctuation (Unicode classes P*) do not count towards the minimum.
If three values are specified, the first value is the required
minimum for the total characters in a word, the second value is
the minimum for characters before the hyphenation point, and
the third value is the minimum for characters after the hyphenation
point. If the third value is missing, it is the same as the second.
If the second value is missing,
then it is ''hyphenate-limit-chars/auto''.
The ''hyphenate-limit-chars/auto''
value means that the UA chooses a value that adapts to the current
layout.
<p class="note">Unless the UA is able to calculate a better value, it
is suggested that ''hyphenate-limit-chars/auto'' means 2 for before and after, and 5 for

Character-based Alignment in a Table Column</h3>
When multiple cells in a column have an alignment character specified,
the alignment character of each such cell in the column is centered along
a single column-parallel axis and the rest of the text in the column
shifted accordingly. (Note that the strings do not have to be the same
for each cell, although they usually are.)

</div>
A keyword value may be specified in conjunction with the <string>
value; if it is no
133E
t given, it defaults to ''text-align/right''. This value is used:
<ul>
<li>
when character-based alignment is applied to boxes that are not table
cells.
<li>
when the text wraps to multiple lines (at unforced break points).
<li>
when a character-aligned cell spans more than one column. In this
case the keyword alignment value is used to determine which column's
axis to align with: the leftmost column for ''text-align/left'', the rightmost
column for ''text-align/right'' and ''text-align/center'', the startmost column for ''text-align/start'',
the endmost column for ''text-align/end''.
<li>
when the column is wide enough that the character alignment alone does
not determine the positions of its character-aligned contents. In this
case the keyword alignment of the first cell in the column with a
specified alignment character is used to slide the position of the
character-aligned contents to match the keyword alignment insofar as
possible without changing the width of the column.
For ''text-align/center'', the UA may center
the aligned contents using its extremes, center the alignment axis
itself (insofar as possible), or optically center the aligned contents
some other way (such as by taking a weighted average of the extent of
the cells' contents to either side of the axis).
</ul>
<p class="note">
Right alignment is used by default for character-based
alignment because numbering systems are almost all left-to-right even
in right-to-left writing systems, and the primary use case of
character-based alignment is for numerical alignment.
</p>
If the alignment character appears more than once in the text, the first
instance is used for alignment. If the alignment character does not appear
in a cell at all, the string is aligned as if the alignment character had
been inserted at the end of its contents.
Character-based alignment occurs before table cell width computation so
that auto width computations can leave enough space for alignment.
Whether column-spanning cells participate in the alignment prior to
or after width computation is undefined.
If width constraints on the cell contents prevent full alignment
throughout the column, the resulting alignment is undefined.

</dl>
This property is additive with the 'word-spacing' and 'letter-spacing' properties.
That is, the amount of spacing contributed by the 'letter-spacing' setting (if any)
is added to the spacing created by 'text-spacing'.
The same applies to 'word-spacing'.
At element boundaries, the amount of extra spacing introduced between characters
is determined by and rendered within the innermost element that contains the boundary.
If the extra spacing is applied to a particular glyph,
then the spacing is determined by the innermost element containing that glyph.
Note: Values other than ''text-spacing/normal'', ''text-spacing/none'', ''trim-start'', ''trim-end'', and ''space-end''
are at-risk and may be dropped from this level of CSS.
They are defined here currently to help work out a complete design of this feature.
Support for this property is <em>optional</em>.
It is strongly recommended for UAs that wish to support CJK typography.
Issue: It was requested to add a value for doubling the space after periods.
