By the way, there are exists many line styles in mongolian.

@siqinbilige that's a very handy example! Do you have a slightly larger version that i could add to the type-samples repository? (if so, please send me via email)

I believe all of those styles are covered by the CSS3 spec.

However, i'd be very interested to know what is the meaning/purpose for each of those different styles. Could you explain that for me?

siqinbilige commented 7 years ago

There is a large version of the picture. Those different styles for analysis sentence patterns. For example, subject , verb, ... etc. In normally, there are five patterns in mongolian sentence. underlinestyles

@r12a Should we consider the Part-Of-Speech tagging notations? Are they really counted as text decoration in typography?

r12a commented 5 years ago

@badaa i guess it depends how frequently text-decoration is used for POS tagging. If it's a very specialised usage, and particularly if the conventions used vary, it may not be something we should prioritise highly. If, on the other hand, these types of text-decoration are common in Mongolian, then we should raise the topic.

Looking at the example above, all but one style is actually already covered by CSS.

text-decoration-style: solid, of course, gives screen shot 2018-12-10 at 16 45 59

text-decoration-style: dashed gives screen shot 2018-12-10 at 16 45 17

text-decoration-style: double gives screen shot 2018-12-10 at 16 45 41

text-decoration-style: wavy gives screen shot 2018-12-10 at 16 45 04

The style that's NOT covered is this one, with one wavy and one solid line: screen shot 2018-12-10 at 16 46 27

Is this something that is commonly seen in Mongolian text?

(Btw, we have tests and results for major browsers for the above styles.)

siqinbilige commented 5 years ago

These underline styles mainly used in Mongolian Grammar books. There are other samples. the double dotted style has same meaning as solidwavy style.

Seems a simple request to add a few additional under/overline styles. (Not sure that CSS is enough to handle the notation on page "507" of the sample).

There seem to also be suggestions for "leader" styles, see p. 505/506 in the sample.

Those are just legend…
