This has come up in the past [1], but the wording in the multicolumn CR has me very confused. css3-multicol notes [quote] Content in the normal flow that extends into column gaps (e.g., long words or images) is clipped in the middle of the column gap. [/quote] http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-multicol/#overflow-inside-multicol-elements Does this imply that /floated/ blocks that are wider than the column-width can extend into an adjacent column and are /not/ clipped? http://www.w3.org/TR/2009/WD-css3-multicol-20090630/#overflow-and-multicol-elements contained additional text – that has since disappeared: [quote]Floats that are wider than the column box intrude into neighboring columns.[/quotes] css3 gcpm offers some extensions, but notes: [quote] In multi-column layouts [CSS3COL], floats appear within columns; they never intrude into neighboring columns. [/quote] http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-gcpm/#float-intrusion-in-multicol-elements but then the examples seem to contradict that… [1] e.g. http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2007May/0014.html Philippe -- Philippe Wittenbergh http://l-c-n.com/
