> My only concern with having this be a part of grid-template is that that requires the explicit naming of the sub objects. The benefit to the pattern based approach is that the contents of the grid can be left "unclassified" No, it doesn't; what makes you assume that? Grid-template is the shorthand for the rows/columns/areas properties; are you thinking that it's just for grid-template-areas? > How does the grid-template syntax address the repetition of a pattern for gutters? It doesn't, but I wasn't aware of a use-case presented that wants a repeated pattern of different gutters between implicit tracks. Tho hm, even if you grouped each "set" of things into a subgrid, you'd still need to establish the gutters on the outer grid, which requires a repeating pattern. > Example - I need 12 columns with a repeating grid-gap pattern of 1rem and 2rem and all my column names remain [col] with all tracks being 1fr. Ah, this is explicit grid. Then it'd be: ``` grid-template-columns: repeat(6, [col] 1fr [col gap(1rem)] 1fr [col gap(2rem)] ) ``` As opposed to using an explicit pattern in `grid-column-gap`: ``` grid-template-columns: repeat(12, [col] 1fr [col]) grid-column-gap: 1rem 2rem; ``` -- GitHub Notification of comment by tabatkins Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/1659#issuecomment-319923580 using your GitHub account
