It's likely that we'll start modelling this as follows: an inline element generates a single principal inline box which is then possibly fragmented across multiple line boxes. This has parallels with how a block element generates a principal block box which is then possibly fragmented across multiple pages/columns/regions. Before we commit to that, though, some review of the inline formatting model is needed to check for incompatibilities. (My feeling is that there *will* be incompatibilities; the question is whether they actually matter.) > But display:none does not just mean not generating boxes. > It is also about margin collapsing for example. In what way? Cheers, Anton Prowse http://dev.moonhenge.net
