The CSS Working Group just discussed `Define Media Groups: continuous vs paged, etc.`, and agreed to the following: * `RESOLVED: Add definitions for paged and continuous media to MQ4` <details><summary>The full IRC log of that discussion</summary> <heycam> Topic: Define Media Groups: continuous vs paged, etc.<br> <heycam> github: https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/5019<br> <heycam> florian: a while back we discussed that media groups weren't define anywhere but CSS 2, and defined vaguely<br> <heycam> ... concluded they're not actually used anywhere, except a few props saying they apply to all media groups<br> <heycam> ... fantasai found one other place where we use this, which is wrt fixed positioning, where we have a different behavior between paged and continuous behavior<br> <heycam> ... I think it does make sense to have a normative definition of this, MQs is probably a place for this.<br> <heycam> ... I propose we inline the definition where block-<br> <heycam> overflow is<br> <heycam> ... I would be inclined to say that for things that are fully scrolling without pages are continuous, and everything else as paged<br> <heycam> dbaron: I'd be inclined to say that the advertisement in the airport case [which minuter missed] is not paged<br> <heycam> florian: I agree it's a bit weird<br> <heycam> ... in practice it doens't matter much. it's just going to be used for fixed pos, in a scrolling media it's going to be fixed, and in paged it will be replicated on pages<br> <heycam> ... so with neither paging not scrolling, it doesn't really matter<br> <heycam> stantonm: our default mode is paginated, but there's an option to switch to scrolling. so I think this makes sense<br> <heycam> Rossen_: hearing mostly support<br> <heycam> dbaron: the thing I'm thinking about is that in the future, things that have neither pagination nor scrolling seem more similar to continuous than paginated<br> <heycam> ... if we're going to add any future distinctions on this<br> <heycam> florian: my intuition goes the other way. but I don't think it makes a normative difference right now<br> <heycam> dbaron: don't feel strongly<br> <heycam> fantasai: defaulting to continuous sounds better<br> <heycam> ... the one that makes me concerned is things that are both continuous and paged<br> <heycam> florian: if you have pages, and fixed pos, I would expect the thing to be on each pages<br> <dbaron> s/sounds better/sounds better since people are mostly designing for continuous/<br> <heycam> ... the fact that some pages might be longer and have scrollbars doesn't invalidate that<br> <heycam> Rossen_: you'll add both continuous and paged media definitions to overflow?<br> <heycam> florian: this is just terminology. I will tie this into the definition over overflow-block<br> <heycam> Rossen_: in MQ4?<br> <heycam> fantasai: given we're importing up from CSS 2 ...<br> <heycam> florian: we're importing words that didn't have a precise definition<br> <heycam> fantasai: MQ4 makes sense<br> <heycam> Rossen_: this will restart CR?<br> <heycam> florian: we need to do a republication soon folding in a few issues<br> <heycam> ... not going for republication just yet, but will in a few weeks<br> <heycam> RESOLVED: Add definitions for paged and continuous media to MQ4<br> </details> -- GitHub Notification of comment by css-meeting-bot Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/5019#issuecomment-638521048 using your GitHub account
