hanging punctuation for right-aligned blocks? about typeset

[davidmerfield]

This is an interesting challenge. Nothing comes to mind at the moment. I will give this some further thought.

I suppose we could mandate an inline-style instead of a class but it's hardly ideal!

[style*="text-align"][style*="right"] .push-closed {
  ...
}

Terrible hack aside, getting right-aligned hanging punctuation working for a predetermined parent class (e.g. .right) at compile time is a decent first step.

There's a part of me that would like to offer some optional front-end JavaScript which could handle this automatically. The front-end JavaScript could also generate the magic numbers for .push and .pull widths in typeset.css automatically, but that's for another thread...
