Description
w:topLinePunct is a toggle property that enables top-of-line punctuation compression. In East Asian typography, full-width opening punctuation (e.g. 「, （, 『) normally occupies a full character width. When this property is active, such characters at the start of a line are compressed, reducing leading whitespace and producing tighter, more professional-looking East Asian text.
It is defined in ECMA-376 Part 1 §17.3.1.40.
