Introduction (TBW)

Open Web Documentation

The HTML5 element has been documented. It allows to insert spans of text with unknown directionality, like text coming out of a database, in the middle of text with a known fixed directionality.

At the same time, the documentation of the CSS unicode-bidi property has been updated to describe the two new values: isolate and plaintext, especially used to implement correctly bidi for each HTML element (including, but not only, , , <pre> and <textarea>).

The documentation of the CSS property text-overflow has been completely rewritten to account for the new extended two-value syntax and the new allowed string values. New examples have been added.

The CSS columns property, shorthand for column-width and column-count has been added and the 'Using CSS multi-column layouts article.
