dbaron has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts: == [css-multicol] 'column-span' and tables == The [definition of `column-span`](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-multicol/#column-span) says: > Applies to: in-flow block-level elements The [definition of block-level element](https://drafts.csswg.org/css2/visuren.html#block-level) says that it applies to things with `display: block`, `display: list-item` and `display:table`. Then the definition of column-span goes on to say: > The element establishes a new block formatting context. This means that (1) `column-span: all` applies to tables and (2) when it does, they become block formatting contexts. Having a single edge case in which tables can establish block formatting contexts doesn't make sense. This shouldn't happen. That said, given the lack of consideration to this issue, I wonder whether `column-span` is really intended to apply to tables. What do existing implementations do? (IIRC, Gecko is the last engine to implement `column-span`, which would have made me expect the spec to be in better shape than it appears to be.) /cc @tabatkins @gregwhitworth @neerjapancholi Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/1071 using your GitHub account
