Subject: DOCBOOK: Re: Attributes for text direction and language
/ "Christopher R. Maden" <crism@maden.org> was heard to say: | DocBook probably should add the equivalent of HTML's BDO elements or global | dir attribute; in the meantime, you could use a generic <phrase> with a | role attribute. I think Chris is probably right. No one (as far as I know) on the committee has extensive experience with bidi so we probably believed that language was sufficient. What I would really like are some (reasonably short) examples that demonstrate (all of) the problems for which there is insufficient markup. I'm offline, if someone could file an RFE for this, I'd be grateful. Be seeing you, norm -- Norman Walsh <ndw@nwalsh.com> | "Abstraction, abstraction and http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/ | abstraction." This is the answer Chair, DocBook Technical Committee | to the question, "What are the | three most important words in | programming?"--Paul Hudak
