--- Comment #10 from Christopher Yeleighton <[email protected]> --- I would limit the width of every leaf block. That is currently not expressible in CSS unless you classify each such block explicitly, which can be done by the HTML renderer. I was tempted to assume that a table cell width could be limited that way, except that it is theoretically possible to have a table within a table cell. (You cannot use 100% for that since it would refer to the row width, which would be self-contradictory; moreover, the row width should be allowed to be wider than the screen width, in which case the reader could use the scrolling facility provided by the document window to read the content; you should rather use the actual width of the display). The situation with tables in wikitext is alleviated by the fact that wikitext does not allow table cells to contain block elements, so ilimiting the width of a table cell would work for pages that do not use raw HTML to circumvent this limitation. Note that all this stuff is best handled by the accasibility component of the browser, whether built-in or external intermediary; if the browser fails to implement such a rule and allows running text to be wider than the display, it is the browser's fault and not ours. But I understand that it is desirable to provide a workaround for browsers that are not so well-behaved. I am sorry if my writing is unclear; this problem surely requires many aspects to be considered. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
