± 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...
