Updated tests: HTML and CSS and text direction

[Richard Ishida]

Continuing the work of repackaging the tests in the Internationalization test suite, around 87 more tests, this time relating to right-to-left and bidirectional text have been updated. Each of the 87 tests are implemented for HTML 4.0, XHTML 1.0 served as text/html, XHTML 1.0 served as XML, and XHTML 1.1 served as XML (ie. totally around 350 test cases).

There are also tables covering the results of the tests, and summaries of the findings. Most of these are new. The tests were run on recent versions of major browsers.

The tests and results are linked from here:

http://www.w3.org/International/tests/list-html-css#direction

(Note that the vertical text tests are not included in this announcement, since they are still in the early stages of development.)

Hi Richard,

Thanks a lot for compiling this large set of tests and test results
with various browsers.

Just a minor issue that caught my eyes and led me to scratch my head a bit:

http://www.w3.org/International/tests/tests-html-css/tests-character-encoding/generate?test=1&serveas=xml

and other tests for character encoding declarations have the following
annotation:

   The text contains the following sequence of bytes: 0xE1 0xA4 0xA8 0xB8 0xDA.

However, the actual byte sequence in the file is "0xC3 0xBD 0xC3 0xA4
0xC3 0xA8" , which matches the png image included (what the sequence
would look like if it's interpreted as ISO-8859-15).

Once again, thank you,

Jungshik

Hi Jungshik,

Many thanks for pointing that out.  I changed the tests, but forgot to change the descriptions.  Should be fixed now.

Hope you're well.

Best,
RI
