paper-based layouts.
<p>(A few words about the difference between mk2 and mk1: Care has now
- been take to avoid being able to specify layouts that are hard to
- achieve, or that can be achieved in other ways. For example, by saying
- ‘<code class=property>top-corner</code>’ instead of
- ‘<code class=property>top-left</code>’ or ‘<code
- class=property>top-right</code>’, it becomes impossible to specify
- a layout where one has to replace already laid-out content. Compared to
- the mk1 float model, mk2 does not allow one to explicityly set the
- containing block of the float; the CB is column or the multicol element
- (depending on the keyword in use). It is therefore impossible to float
- something to the top of the page. However, given that ‘<code
- class=property>column-span</code>’ now is widely supported, one can
- make (say) the root element a multicol element. Floating something to the
- top of the multicol element thereby floats it to the top of the page.)

<p>Four new keywords on ‘<code class=property>float</code>’
