--- Comment #6 from Eyal Rozenberg <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Eyal Rozenberg from comment #5) ... and about the same thing is said about Japanese: https://www.w3.org/TR/2020/NOTE-jlreq-20200811/#vertical_writing_mode_and_horizontal_writing_mode in both case it's said that rotation is common for words or sentences in Western languages, while proper vertical order with no rotation "is usually applied to one-letter alphanumerics or capitalized abbreviations". What this means is that when writing a predominantly CJK paragraph, we need to _sometimes_ rotate and _sometimes_ not rotate. So the rotation or lack thereof must be a property of _stretches of non-CJK text_, not of a paragraph or a page. We may also need to be smart about choosing what to do by default (e.g. avoid rotation until we see a lowercase letter in English). With all of that said - when writing purely in Western languages (or RTL languages with block shapes like Hebrew) - the logic of "rotation for stretches of text" does not apply (in my opinion), or only applies sometimes (if we want to use the same logic as with CJK). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
