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 <length> values of the 'tab-size' property
At Risk: the 'text-justify' property
At Risk: the percentage values of 'word-spacing'
At Risk: the 'hanging-punctuation' property
At Risk: the ''line-break/anywhere'' value of the 'line-break' property
At Risk: Writing-system specific adjustments to line-breaking
Ignored Vars: letter-spacing
Status Text: This publication partially addresses the issues in the <a href="https://drafts.csswg.org/css-text-3/issues-lc-2013">disposition of comments</a> since the <a href="https://www.w3.org/TR/2013/WD-css-text-3-20131010/">October 2013 Last Call Working Draft</a>, and, while a marked improvement over the previous draft, is not considered to be entirely up-to-date at the time of publication. A completed dispostion of comments and corresponding draft will be published once the issues are fully addressed and reviewed by the CSSWG and Internationalization WG.

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 & 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> keywords as their property value.
For readability they have not been repeated explicitly.
<h3 id="languages">
Languages and Typesetting</h3>
<p><strong class="advisement">
Authors should language-tag their content accurately for the best typographic behavior.
</strong>
<p>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>.
For example, the rules for determining the <a>content language</a> of an HTML element
are <a href="https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/dom.html#language">defined</a> in [[HTML]],
and the rules for determining the <a>content language</a> of an XML element use
are <a href="https://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#sec-lang-tag">defined</a> in [[XML10]].
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 should tag content using the global <code>lang</code> attribute in HTML,
the universal <code>xml:lang</code> attribute in XML.
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>.
Note: Depending on the [=document language=]'s facilities for identifying the [=content language=],
information about the [=writing system=] may only be carried implicitly.
That is typically the case with the [[BCP47]] language tag used in [[HTML]],
although it can optionally indicate the [=writing system=] explicitly
using a script subtag.
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.
More information about language tags and their interpretation,
particularly the use of script tags for atypical language + writing-system combinations,
can be found in [[#script-tagging]].
<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 behaviour 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—<!--
-->such as a Latin alphabetic letter (including its diacritics),
Hangul syllable,
Chinese ideographic character,
Myanmar syllable cluster—<!--
-->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>
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.

<p>For example, in Turkish there are two “i”s, one with
a dot—“İ” and “i”— and one
without—“I” and “ı”. Thus the usual
case mappings between “I” and “i” 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>

in other languages, the usual mapping of “I”

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><wide></code> or the <code><narrow></code> tag
in their <code>Decomposition_Mapping</code> in [[!UAX44]].
For the <code><narrow></code> tag,
the mapping is from the code point to the decomposition (minus <code><narrow></code> tag),

the mapping is from the decomposition (minus the <code><wide></code> tag)

<dd>The behavior is identical to that of ''white-space/pre-wrap'',
except that:
* Any sequence of <a>preserved</a> [=white space=]
or [=other space separators=]
always takes up space,
including at the end of the line.
* A line breaking opportunity exists after every <a>preserved</a> <a>white space</a> character
and after every [=other space separator=]
(including between adjacent spaces).
