left | Changes the location of the selected item(s) to the left.
In the values
section of action
, there are a values that move positions left
and right
, but no corresponding logical values start
and end
that take into account bidirectional text handling (and the corresponding mirroring of layout). While there is a need for absolute left/right positioning, there should be a way to do logical positioning based on layout.
I also notice that there are no up
or down
values. Is this an omission? (The corresponding logical directions, using CSS's terminology, would be block-start
and block-end
)
For some illustrations that show what the impact of bidi is on page layout, see this article.
Becky has added start/end, up/down, updated defintion of left/right to refer people to next/previous if the navigation is logical rather than physical. Please find changes in pull request #163. Thank you for your comments.
Changes complete in the latest draft.
