Can anyone give their best guess on when text flow and word wrapping
will be recommended by W3C and supported in any of the browsers?
The working draft from 2002, says this:
Text
1. SVG 1.2 should allow word wrapping and forced line breaks for
text within multiple rectangles [SVG 1.2]
2. SVG 2.0 should allow word wrapping, forced line breaks and text
flow within multiple shapes [SVG 2.0]
3. SVG text should allow justification locations, such as the nine
standard positions (bottom, center, top with left, middle, right).
Note that this requirement will involve coordination with the CSS and
XSL groups, and investigation by the Internationalization group. [SVG
1.2] [SVG 2.0]
4. SVG may allow text to be justified flush within a shape. [SVG 2.0]
5. The transform attribute should be added to the tspan element [SVG 1.2]
6. SVG should provide a method to define how whitespace is
handled. SVG may provide an attribute that defines how a text element
should handle whitespace, overriding the use of the xml:space
attribute. [SVG 2.0]
Is there anything which is more recent that could fill me in on where
things have gone since then and where they are going? I haven't been
able to find anything on line.
I am interested because of a long term project of my mine using a
variety of different languages and different scripts to present
fairly long text documents - that is from 1000 to 5000 words - which
need to use embeded SVG fonts - it is something I would like to be
able to begin making available within the next year.
Thanks.
Jerry
