CSS 2.1 defines baselines for inline tables and inline blocks, the first as the baseline of the first row of the table, the second as the baseline of its last line box in the normal flow. The latter doesn't seem likely to result in the layout shown in figure 10 in section 8.3, which seems to align based on first lines. Some clarification would be welcome. > > Version reviewed: editor's draft, 9 July 2012 > http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css3-flexbox/ > > Koji pointed out that baseline was discussed on www-style@ recently: > http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2012Apr/0414.html Ah, we finally looked into this deeply enough to understand the issues. We've hopefully fixed up the text now. http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css3-flexbox/#flex-baselines Let us know if this solves the problem. ~TJ
