Highlights from this week

I wrote a new page for the <meta http-equiv attribute. This is an interesting one for setting document directives, or hints for what the browser should do when processing a page. The point of the attribute is to be able to set these hints in document markup using instructions that you would normally issue via HTTP headers. It’s probably most useful for cases where you don’t control HTTP headers, can’t set them for certain reasons.

I also landed a PR adding the ruby-overhang CSS property, which is something that’s used for ruby annotations. These are mostly used in East Asian documents to indicate pronunciation or to provide a short annotation, so I’m glad it’s seeing some improvements.

I reviewed another few rounds of “test your skills” and active learning content. These updates include modernizing a lot of the existing tasks, using the MDN playground as much as possible, and getting rid of older editors that don’t fit with the site look and feel.

Summary

I worked on 17 pull requests, with 3 created and 14 reviewed, mostly within mdn/content, and one PR each in mdn/shared-assets and mdn/data.
