± From: www-style-request@w3.org [mailto:www-style-request@w3.org] On Behalf Of Håkon Wium Lie ± Sent: Wednesday, August 10, 2011 10:46 AM ± ± The example in Figure 1 and Figure 2 of the Regions spec is nice. ± However, it seems to me that the styling of the lead paragrah (in this case the ± introduction) is, more often than not, based on the structure rather than the layout. So, in ± most magazines, the whole lead paragrah ± -- and not just the words that happen to fit in a predinde box -- would be in bold. This is ± for example the case in The Economist. In some publications (like Wired) it seems that special formatting in first column or page happens more often than not... (I've attached a random example) ± Does the regions model support this kind of flexibly-sized regions? Yes, as Vincent noted we are working on that right now. Note however that to apply formatting based on structure you don't really need regions. There is a lot of ways to make first paragraph look different, while there isn't much help (yet) if you want to make the first column look different... Alex
