## The motivation
Like manuscript and printed text, printed text and digital text stand on fundamentally different technologies. One fundamental difference is when/where the layout is finalised. With printing, the sender of the text fixes the layout, typically after manual inspections, and the sender distributes the single static image to all the receivers. With digital text, the layout is not resolved until the last minute. Many different images are generated automatically depending on the device environment and their preferences on the receiver's device. Such differences give digital text unique limitations and possibilities that are intrinsically distinct from printed text.

For this reason, we believe that there are benefits to producing a document dedicated to digital text. At the meeting held in Oct. 2021 the JLreq Task Force members agreed to develop such a document as a successor to the existing JLreq, which describes text layout in print. The tentative name is JLReq-d.

Because digital text has a shorter history and is evolving, there will be areas to which we do not have a definitive answer, and there will be issues with open questions. Still, we believe it is worth collecting practices we know of so far, and adding our thoughts to them. After the first version is complete it will need to be updated periodically because the technology is still in progress.
