@fantasai indeed that does seem very similar as long as it also addresses the flow of items in the area. I missed that topic when looking through the issues. @WebMechanic maybe you are diverging too much from the original question I posted. My suggestion implies a clear distinction between the parent grid flow and the grid-area flow. It would then be possible to have a different flow within an area that is "disconnected" from the parent grid. My example used a flex layout, but this could as easily been an absolute positioning (top, left, right, bottom) of items within the grid area. This is very different from you suggestion: > One could think of the "areas" we get from flexbox are the additional rows/colums created when using flex-wrap: wrap. How I understand your suggestion is that you are trying to look at the flow within the area as a continuation of the flow of the parent grid. That makes it much more complicated and creates many ambiguities in how to interpret what should happen or what to expect. @Loirooriol That is exactly what I am trying to avoid as using wrapper elements restricts us when dealing with many different styling and layouting scenario's. As an example I could say that I only want the first three content items to appear in a more prominent place on top of my layout (e.g. a `main-content` grid area) when having less screen real estate and have the remaining content items appear in a secondary and smaller place at the bottom right next to other footer content that requires more scrolling to go through (e.g. a `secondary-content` grid area). The main content area could simple be a sub-grid while the secondary content area a flex layout. This becomes very difficult (or even impossible) when using wrapper elements as all content items are bound together by markup instead of semantics. -- GitHub Notification of comment by chvndb Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/4416#issuecomment-544236973 using your GitHub account
