> What would happen in case of unclear integers, e. g. rand-int(foo, 10pt, 5mm)? rand-int() is integers only, not dimensions. But for rand-val(), it's not resolved until computed or used value time, so the start and end points are already fully absolutized, and thus totally clear. > Could this be solved with counters instead, which are always integers? Counters are... not something we want to build other features on top of. They have a *lot* of strange quirks. > Before I comment on the proposals above, I just wanted to make sure we're philosophically on board with the idea of extending the capabilities of CSS as such. *I* am, but I'm utopian about these things. ^_^ I've been thinking about randomness in CSS for many years. At bare minimum, exploring this space will serve as a great case-study for what we need to be sure that we expose for Houdini Custom Functions; I want to ensure that authors could create a `--rand-int()` function with this same functionality. So even if we never get this natively implemented, it'll still be useful. -- GitHub Notification of comment by tabatkins Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/2826#issuecomment-455662480 using your GitHub accountReceived on Friday, 18 January 2019 19:34:27 UTC
