Subject: Re: [xsl] unicode ligatures and interrupting markup From: "Pieter Lamers pieter.lamers@xxxxxxxxxxxx" <xsl-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 16 May 2019 15:01:58 -0000 |
Hi Michael, I guess that is the question. Initially I thought it was a generic problem for tags interrupting unicode characters. Now, upon further inspection I find that Firefox (and Thunderbird) keep/restore the ligature form of the character, whereas Chrome (and PrinceXML) do not. So it is not (just) about structure after all, but about rendering mostly. I still don't see how the renderer would 'know' when to apply a ligature in an interrupted flow though, but I guess it's been taken care of, by some.
