* “Suffix” is the more common term. * It also aligns with the @counter-style descriptors.
Accepted by editor discretion given the consistency argument and lack of implementations, requesting Async resolution. |
The CSSWG will automatically accept this resolution one week from now if no objections are raised here. Anyone can add an emoji to this comment to express support. If you do not support this resolution, please add a new comment. Proposed Resolution: Rename |
RESOLVED: Rename |
https://drafts.csswg.org/css-pseudo-4/#first-letter-pseudo
The naming was resolved in #2040 (comment)
However, as @valtlai mentions in #2040 (comment), using
::postfix
is inconsistent with@counter-style
, which usesprefix
andsuffix
descriptors: https://drafts.csswg.org/css-counter-styles-3/#counter-style-suffixAnd as @tantek mentioned in the minutes, "suffix" is a much more frequently used word. See Google Books Ngram Viewer:
Also in Spanish ("postfijo" and "posfijo" are 3-4 orders of magnitude smaller than "sufijo"):
So I propose to amend that resolution. AFAIK nobody has implemented these pseudo-elements.
