Minutes Seattle F2F Thursday 2017-01-12 Part II: Text Decoration, Step-Sizing/Rhythm, Line Grid, Block Step Sizing
Text Decoration
- fantasai introduced her draft of Text Decoration Level 4 for discussion.
- She will add examples for offset based on different anchor points.
- There was some question as to if ‘width’ was the right word for text-decoration-width. It was given that name for consistency with properties like with border-width and stroke-width, but may still need bikeshedding.
- There was support for use-font to allow specifying user value in the font.
- Resolved: FPWD of Text Decoration Level 4
- The relative position example for text-underline-position was reviewed and found helpful in identifying correct behavior.

Step-Sizing/Rhythm
- here was concern about having this as a separate spec from line grid as they’ll be used together frequently. They will stay separate for now and an issue about it will be raised on the FPWD.

- Resolved: First published working draft for step sizing
- Resolved: koji, fantasai, and dauwhe as co-editors.
- Resolved: Rename to css-rhythm

Line Grid
- Florian asked for feedback on finding a way to get momentum on the spec. He suggested adding an auto value on line-grid, but there was concern that’s too limiting to be useful.
- Overall simplification was then discussed to get momentum, but several browsers said that that would not cause this to move further forward on their roadmap.
- fremy proposed a within-BFC line grid declaration that several browser expressed an interest in, so he was actioned to write up his proposal.
- Resolved:
line-height-step
affects line grid
