Apologies if this is a common request, but I haven't seen it
discussed, and could find no mention of it anywhere in the spec...
Quite frequently (on nearly every page I make), I wish that I could
make text flow from one div to another. I suppose this would be a
logical extension of the overflow property, or perhaps a new text-
overflow property. Something like this:
#firstDiv
{
text-overflow: id(#secondDiv);
}
This way, the text always flows naturally around the page and yet
always fills spaces that may be flexible based on viewable area.
Have I explained this clearly? Is this functionality perhaps already
available (and I'm thus an idiot)? Am I an idiot regardless of the
availability of this functionality?
