Also sprach Daniel Glazman: > I choke every time I see the 16 > margin boxes specified in CSS Paged Media and the associated magic... You have repeatedly made it clear that you dislike this spec [1][2]. Others find it quite useful and use it to publish printed publications in HTML/CSS, e.g.: http://css4.pub/ It's quite magical, actually :) The 16 margin boxes makes it possible to replicate real-world running headers, which can be quite complex. Here are some samples: http://people.opera.com/howcome/2013/tests/css3/samples.jpg If you still disagree, I'd like to see the code you propose using for the challenge posted in [3]. > There is some resistance to changes there, again often for quite > bad reasons. With other concepts like Templates, Regions, Shapes > and Exclusions we could certainly specify much more powerful - and even > simpler - page models. We need implementors for that, and that's where > you all can help. The CSS WG is where it should happen. Or you can use Prince and AntennaHouse which already provide interoperable implementation of many features from Paged Media.
