Hi Alex, > So I think if we do add another value, it should be the opposite: > > page-break-inside:avoid -- avoid page breaks, then > avoid column breaks > page-break-inside:avoid-column -- avoid column breaks; > pay no attention to page breaks Hmm, I'm not following... As was pointed out in yesterday's teleconf, in a document with columns, a page break is of necessity also a column break... Let's say I have a multicol document that contains several graphics, each of which has a long description. I want each graphic and its description to be displayed on a single page, but I want the explanatory text to break across columns. If, as you suggest, we expand 'page-break-inside: avoid' to also apply to columns, how would I do this? (I *don't* want the first column to be (partially) empty because the UA was trying to avoid column breaks!) I see the missing value as 'avoid-page' rather than 'avoid-column' (if we expand the 'avoid' keyword to apply to columns; or 'avoid-all' if 'avoid' continues to mean avoid a page break). Or am I missing something? Best wishes, Melinda
