The W3C this month, on 14th August 2012, released an updated working draft of the CSS3 Text Module.

The updated working draft includes several changes from the previous version, published in January 2012. Keep reading for further details.

Major changes
- Removed the ‘avoid’ value of ‘text-wrap’, since it doesn’t work very well with the fact that ‘text-wrap’ inherits.
- Dropped the ‘text-wrap’ and ‘text-space-collapse’, leaving behind only the CSS2.1 ‘white-space’ property.
- Removed ‘text-transform: full-size-kana’.
- Disallowed combinations of values in ‘text-transform’.
Additional updates
- Defined aliasing of ‘word-wrap’ and ‘overflow-wrap’.
- Defined interaction of alignment/indentation and ‘unicode-bidi: plaintext’.
- Added ‘text-align: match-parent’ to <option> elements.
- Improved terminology and clarified behavior in many instances.
- Defined that ‘text-transform’ casing operations only affect letters.
- Removed concept of “typographic modes”.
According to a post on the CSS Working Group’s blog, this should be the last working draft before the CSS3 Text module progresses to the last call stage of development.

All currently known open issues with the specification are listed on the CSS Working Group’s Issue Tracker here.

As always, any comments/feedback are invited via the Working Group’s public mailing list [email protected].

  Just a note:
  
  My antivirus software blocked an attack coming from your website. It may have been a false positive, but I just thought that you should know about it.
