> I cannot find anything in the spec suggesting that named pages are to be ignored inside floats or absolutely positioned elements. It's a bit ambiguous. As noted in my previous comment, we were looking at https://www.w3.org/TR/css-break-3/#btw-blocks as the main definition for class A break points (where `page` values get compared), and that mentions these two cases, relating to in-flow boxes and floats: ``` Between sibling boxes of the following types: [...] * in-flow block-level boxes * a float and an immediately-adjacent in-flow or floated box ``` We took that as excluding out-of-flow stuff (and allowing breaks before/after floats but not within them). However, I suppose there's a case to be made that e.g. **block-level siblings inside of an OOF** are technically "in-flow" within their local formatting context. *shrug* Its not clear to me whether the spec meant to include or exclude those. -- GitHub Notification of comment by dholbert Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/9513#issuecomment-3837958068 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
