The CSS WG published the first draft of a new module:
Grid Layout
http://www.w3.org/TR/2011/WD-css3-grid-layout-20110407
The draft defines different ways to associate invisible grids of
horizontal and vertical lines with elements, to make aligning several
elements easy, even if the elements are not next to each other in the
source.
The draft expands on a number of features from multi-column, grid
positioning, template layout, flexible box layout, and the (not yet
published) regions.
E.g., where all slots in the grid in the template layout draft are
disjoint, this draft allows slots that overlap.
It is likely that the various grid ideas will eventually be pruned and
redistributed over fewer drafts. Apart from multicol, which is already
CR, that might, e.g., be a flexible box module and a grid/regions
module.
As always, we welcome feedback. Please, send comments to this mailing
list <www-style@w3.org>, and please start the subject line with the
short name in square brackets, i.e., [css3-grid-layout], as I did on
this message.
For the CSS WG,
Bert
