<section id="h_line_breaking">
<h3>Line breaking</h3>
<div class="issue question">
<ul>
<li>In Urdu words are not necessarily bounded by spaces. What method is used for
determining appropriate break points in this case?</li>
<li>What other characters besides SPACE constitute break points for automatic line
wrapping?</li>
<li>What are the rules for hyphenation in Arabic script text?</li>
<li>The CSS Text spec <a href=
"https://drafts.csswg.org/css-text-3/#example-953e914f">says</a> "When shaping scripts
such as Arabic are allowed to break within words due to hyphenation, the characters must
still be shaped as if the word were not broken." The example shows Uighur text with a
hyphen at the end of a line and with shaped characters at line end and start. Is this
normal in Arabic and Persian text also?
</li>
<li>In some styles of CJK typesetting, English words are allowed to break between any two
letters, rather than only at spaces or hyphenation points. Are the rules different form
Arabic script text?</li>
<li>The CSS spec <a href="https://www.w3.org/TR/css-text-3/#word-break-property">says</a>
"When shaping scripts such as Arabic are allowed to break within words due to break-all,
the characters must still be shaped as if the word were not broken." Is this true?
</li>
<li>The CSS <a href="https://drafts.csswg.org/css-text-3/#hanging-punctuation-property">
hanging-punctuation</a> property allows the arabic comma and arabic full stop to hang
in the margin, rather than wrapping them to the next line. Is this appropriate?

<div class="issue question">
<ul>
<li>What are the rules for elongation of inter-character baselines, and how do they
differ from one font style to another?</li>
<li>When is it appropriate to use which method?</li>
<li>Is the tatweel character useful?</li>
<li>What should happen if an application uses a Ruqʻah font as a fallback, which cannot
allow for word elongation? Does the application need to automatically know that it should
not stretch words when using this font style?</li>
<li>How does an application or person decide which methods to use, and where, to justify
text?</li>
<li>The CSS Text spec says: that, apart from elongation, applications "must assume that
no justification opportunity exists between any pair of typographic letter units in
cursive script (regardless of whether they join). " Is this correct? InDesign, for
example, allows alterations of gaps in the middle of a word where one character doesn't
join with the following character.</li>
<li>Should the CSS <a href=
