Re: [csswg-drafts] Clarification needed on simultaneous block and inline formatting contexts for block container boxes (#11177)

> Could you clarify what is meant by a block container box establishing both a BFC and an inline FC simultaneously?

Inline layout isn't independent from block layout, both are different aspects of [flow layout](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-display/#flow-layout). So they can coexist.

> Under what conditions would this occur, and how should it be expected to behave?

A block container that is forced to establish an independent formatting context will establish a BFC. But if it only contains inline-level contents, then it will also establish an inline FC.

> Are there specific examples that illustrate this behavior?

   ```html
   <div style="display: inline-block">lorem ipsum</div>
   ```

   The inline-block is a block container, and it establishes a BFC because it's not block-level. But it only has inline-level contents (the text "lorem ipsum"), so it establishes an inline FC too.
