Minutes and Resolutions TPAC F2F 2010 Monday Afternoon: MultiCol, Flexbox, GCPM

CSS3 Multi-Column Layout

• Resolved: If a columnspanning element doesn’t fit within the multicol element without overflowing, then it doesn’t span anymore.
• Resolved: column-span applies to “in-flow block-level elements”
• Resolved: column-spanning elements are BFC roots always
• Resolved: Initial value of column-span is ‘none’ (to distinguish BFC behavior of 1-spanning and not-spanning).
• Resolved: Columns overflowing due to forced breaks and not constrained height overflow to the right, rather than wrapping to a new column row below. Note this causes dataloss when printing.

Flexbox

• Resolved: Change prefix from box- to flex-
• Resolved: Combine box-orient and box-direction into flex-direction
• Resolved: Split box-flex into flex-grow and flex-shrink
• Resolved: ‘auto’ margins flex as 1
• Resolved: Drop box-flex-group
• Resolved: Mark multiline at-risk.
• Resolved: Rename box-ordinal-group to either flex-order or flex-index (mark exact name as issue)
• Resolved: Mark entire transverse alignment as an issue until further notice.

GCPM

• Discussed problem of specially styling pages that are the first or last page of a named page set, or that belong to the spread containing that first or last page.
• Discussed problem of tweaking page size to handle widows or orphans.
• Discussed hyphenate-last-line-avoid property proposal.
