+  </div>
+
+  <p>As websites evolved from simple documents into complex, interactive
+  applications, tools for document layout, e.g. floats, were not necessarily
+  well suited for application layout. By using a combination of tables,
+  JavaScript, or careful measurements on floated elements, authors discovered
+  workarounds to achieve desired layouts.  Layouts that adapted to the
+  available space were often brittle and resulted in counter-intuitive
+  behavior as space became constrained. As an alternative, authors of many
+  web applications opted for a fixed layout that cannot take advantage of
+  changes in the available rendering space on a screen.
+      
+  <p>The layout capabilities of the Grid address these problems. The Grid
+  provides a mechanism for authors to divide available space for layout
+  into columns and rows using a set of predictable sizing behaviors.
+  Authors can then precisely position and size the building block elements
+  of their application by referencing the <a href="#grid-line">Grid Line</a>s 
+  between the columns and rows, or by defining and referencing a
+  <a href="#grid-cell">Grid Slot</a>, which is a rectangular space covering
+  an intersection of columns and rows.  Figure 1 illustrates a basic layout
+  which can be achieved with the Grid.

-  There are two sets of <a href="#grid-line">Grid Line</a>s: one set

-  and another orthogonal set defined by rows in the
-  <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-writing-modes/#inline-dimension">inline dimension</a>.
+  <p>The <i>grid element</i> can be used to intelligently
+  reflow elements within a webpage. Figure 2 represents a game with five major
+  areas in the layout: the game title, stats area, game board, score area,
+  and control area. The author's intent is to divide the space for the game
+  such that:
+  <ul>
+    <li>The stats area always appears immediately under the game title.</li>
+    <li>The game board appears to the right of the stats and title.</li>
+    <li>The top of the game title and the game board should always align.</li>
+    <li>The bottom of the game board and the stats area align when the game has reached its minimum height, 
+        but otherwise the game board will stretch to take advantage of all the screen real-estate available to it.
+    </li>
+    <li>The score area should align into the column created by the game and stats area, while the controls are centered under the board.</li>
+  </ul> 
   
-  <p>A <a href="#grid-track">Grid Track</a> is a generic term for the column or
-  row between two <a href="#grid-line">Grid Line</a>s.  Each
-  <a href="#grid-track">Grid Track</a> is assigned a sizing function, which
-  controls how wide or tall the column or row may grow, and thus how far
-  apart two <a href="#grid-line">Grid Line</a>s are. The sizing function
-  specified can be a length, a percentage of the
-  <a href="#grid-element">Grid element</a>'s size, derived from the contents
-  occupying the column or row, or a proportion of the space which remains in
-  the <a href="#grid-element">Grid element</a>. In the last case, remaining
-  space refers to the width or height of the
-  <a href="#grid-element">Grid element</a> after accounting for space already
-  consumed by columns and rows sized with a length, percentage or content.
-  The size can also be specified as a range using a minmax function, which
-  can combine any of the previously mentioned mechanisms to define a min and
-  max size for the column or row.
+  <p>As an alternative to using script to control the absolute position,
+  width, and height of all elements, the author can use the
+  <i>grid element</i>, as shown in Figure 3.
+  The following example shows how an author might achieve all the sizing,
+  placement, and alignment rules declaratively.
 
-  <div class="example">
-    <p>In the following example there are two columns and three rows.  The first column is 150px wide beginning from the starting edge of the <a href="#grid-element">Grid element</a>'s content box.  The second column uses fractional sizing, which is a function of the remaining space in the Grid.  Its size will vary as the width of the <a href="#grid-element">Grid element</a> changes.  If the used width of the <a href="#grid-element">Grid element</a> is 200px, then the second column 50px wide.  If the used width of the <a href="#grid-element">Grid element</a> is 100px, then the second column is 0px and any content positioned in the column will be overflowing the <a href="#grid-element">Grid element</a>.  Sizing occurs in a similar fashion for the rows.

-<!-- -->  #grid { 
-<!-- -->    display: grid; 
-<!-- -->    grid-columns: 150px 1fr;
-<!-- -->    grid-rows: 50px 1fr 50px
-<!-- -->  }
-<!-- -->&lt;/style&gt;</pre>
+  <p>Note that there are multiple ways to specify the structure of the
+  <a href="#grid-element">Grid</a> and to position and size
+  <i>grid items</i>, each optimized for different scenarios.
+  This example illustrates one that an author may use to define the position
+  and space for each <i>grid item</i> using the
+  'grid-rows' and 'grid-columns' properties of the
+  <i>grid element</i>, 
+  and the 'grid-row' and 'grid-column' properties on each
+  <i>grid item</i>.

+  <p>Continuing the prior example, the author also wants the game to adapt
+  to the space available on traditional computer monitors, handheld devices, 
+  or tablet computers. Also, the game should optimize the placement of the
+  components when viewed either in landscape or portrait orientation 
+  (Figures 4 and 5). By combining the CSS markup for the
+  <i>grid element</i> with
+  <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-mediaqueries/">media queries</a>

+
+  <p>The following example leverages the <a href="#grid-element">Grid</a>'s

+  cell in accordance with the
+  <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-box/#shrink-to-fit">CSS3 Box Model</a>.
+  Note that percentage lengths specified on a <i>grid item</i>
+  resolve against the dimensions of the <i>grid slot</i> (i.e.
+  the slot serves as the containing block for the <i>grid item</i>).
+  Percentages specified for margin-top, padding-top, margin-bottom,
+  and padding-bottom resolve against the height of the grid cell,
+  rather than the width of the grid slot. 
+  If the <i>min-content</i> size of the <i>grid item</i>'s box is
+  greater than the size of its slot, it will overflow the bounds
+  of its slot in a direction determined by its alignment.
 
+  <p>A value of ''stretch'' causes the <i>grid item</i>'s to take
+  the <i>fill-available</i> size. Note that this calculation is
+  symmetric for both the width and height of the <i>grid item</i>.
