Description

Updated the descriptions so that the next vertical line is always positioned according to the writing mode, independent of script direction.

both vertical-rl and vertical-lr share:

LTR → top-to-bottom
RTL → bottom-to-top

  • vertical-rl : lines stack to the left.
  • vertical-lr : lines stack to the right.

Fixes #43546

Updated the descriptions so that the next vertical line is always
positioned according to the writing mode, independent of script direction.

Hi @mohammed-ali-osman!

Your "left"/"right" corrections look fine; I would remove the instances of "always" that you've added, as they are not needed, and they imply that the first sentence in each case might not be "always". Better to keep it consistent.

Hello @chrisdavidmills!

That’s a great point about the consistency between the two sentences. I’ve removed 'always' from both descriptions to keep the tone uniform. Thanks for the catch!
