There appears to be one remaining issue before the WG is comfortable sending css3-multicol to Last Call. The current editor's draft: http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css3-multicol/#column-breaks states that he 'page-break-inside' property specifies the behavior of natural column breaks inside elements. That is, if you set: p { page-break-inside: avoid } the formatter will try to avoid both page breaks and column breaks inside p elements. In most cases, this is what the author wants, I believe. However, there may be cases where the author really cares about avoiding page breaks but doesn't care about column breaks. I propose to address this by having two keywords on the 'page-break-inside' property: 'avoid' -- avoids page breaks 'avoid-all' -- avoids page breaks and column breaks One argument against 'avoid-all' is that it doesn't avoid line breaks. However, I can't think of a better name. It should also be noted that using the page-* propoerties to set preferences on columns is not ideal. However, introducing three new properties to describe column behavior seems excessive. Opinions welcome. -h&kon Håkon Wium Lie CTO °þe®ª howcome@opera.com http://people.opera.com/howcomeReceived on Thursday, 2 April 2009 09:52:15 GMT
