"final" (Pf) and "other" (Po) punctuation classes), that precedes or follows the first letter should be included." https://drafts.csswg.org/selectors-3/#first-letter It also states: "In some cases the ::first-letter pseudo-element should include more than just the first non-punctuation character on a line." In the Norwegian language quotes are started either with Left-pointing Double Angle Quotation Mark '«' or an En Dash '–'. The User agent should treat these equally and include them and the following letter in the ::first-letter pseudo element. 1373037 1 johannes.odland 2017-11-17 05:59:31 -0800 In the following sentence the en dash, space and letter should be included in ::first-letter: "– Jeg vil bare være et helt vanlig menneske." 1373038 2 johannes.odland 2017-11-17 06:02:50 -0800 Example on NRK P3's webpage (Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation): http://p3.no/dokumentar/uhelbredelig/ 1783452 3 gsnedders 2021-08-11 04:39:04 -0700 *** Bug 216963 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** 1783453 4 gsnedders 2021-08-11 04:39:48 -0700 there's nothing really specific about Norwegian (in either written form) here; it's just the general punctuation/space issue 1879395 5 bfulgham 2022-06-30 09:43:35 -0700 This appears to be tracked by this radar: <rdar://69870767> 1921025 6 johannes.odland 2022-12-21 03:00:27 -0800 Adding a link to the failing WPT tests: https://wpt.fyi/results/css/css-pseudo/first-letter-punctuation-and-space.html?label=experimental&label=master&aligned&view=subtest 1926246 7 johannes.odland 2023-01-18 06:08:51 -0800 Forgot to update this issue, but the spec was updated a while ago to include all punctuation characters: https://www.w3.org/TR/css-pseudo-4/#first-letter-pattern ``` Preceding and following punctuation must also be included as part of the first-letter text in the ::first-letter pseudo-element as follows: All punctuation—i.e, characters that belong to the Punctuation (P*) Unicode general category [UAX44]—that precedes the first letter. Any punctuation other than opening punctuation and dashes—i.e. characters that belong to the Punctuation (P*) Unicode general category, excluding Open Punctuation (Ps) and Dash Punctuation (Pd)—that follows the first letter. Any intervening typographic space—i.e. characters that belong to the Zs Unicode general category [UAX44] other than U+3000 IDEOGRAPHIC SPACE or any word-separator characters ``` 1926445 8 karlcow 2023-01-18 15:52:09 -0800 Bugs elsewhere. https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1163175 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=602459 See Also https://github.com/web-platform-tests/interop/issues/187#issuecomment-1387144773 2103415 9 johannes.odland 2025-03-14 14:10:51 -0700 Pull request: https://github.com/WebKit/WebKit/pull/42507
