I was travelling and didn't have a chance to read and respond on flexbox issues yet... let me start with this one. On #2 -- it seems useful if multi-line flexbox is used extensively. Most use cases would be covered by multiple flexboxes though... If something like that is added, perhaps it should follow page break naming -- 'box-break-before: none | always' (and most likely 'after' will be requested too) -----Original Message----- From: www-style-request@w3.org [mailto:www-style-request@w3.org] On Behalf Of Tab Atkins Jr. Sent: Tuesday, April 13, 2010 11:27 AM To: www-style list Subject: [css3-flexbox] Flowing table cells 2. Having a multiline flexbox start a new line at an arbitrary child, rather than just when it runs out of space. This can be useful to, for instance, format a <dl> by having each definition group be on its own line. I propose a new property (name in the air, as usual): `box-line-break: normal | break`. This is specified on children of a flexbox. If the flexbox is multiline, the 'break' value means that the child box immediately begins a new line in the flexbox (column or row, as appropriate). If the flexbox is single-line, the 'break' value is treated the same as 'normal'. If this property is specified on an element that is not a child of a flexbox, it must be ignored. ~TJ
