gitspeaks has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts: == [css-display-4] Suggestion to clarify "block container" definition == The current definition of "block container" in [CSS Display Module Level 4](https://www.w3.org/TR/css-display-4/#block-container) says: > "A block container either contains only inline-level boxes participating in an inline formatting context, or contains only block-level boxes participating in a block formatting context (possibly generating anonymous block boxes to ensure this constraint, as defined in CSS2§9.2.1.1)." This phrasing feels slightly circular, as it defines a "block container" by simply referring to "a block container," without immediately stating what it *is* (a type of box). I suggest rewording it slightly for clarity, such as: > "A block container is a box that either contains only inline-level boxes participating in an inline formatting context, or contains only block-level boxes participating in a block formatting context (possibly generating anonymous block boxes to ensure this constraint, as defined in CSS2§9.2.1.1)." This makes it immediately clear that a block container is a *box*, improving the definition's clarity without altering its meaning.
