Hi, The columns, column-width and column-count properties all have the same "Applies to" line: > non-replaced block-level elements (except table elements), table > cells, and inline-block elements This should really be "block container" instead of an inclusive list of the block containers that exist in CSS 2.1. Block-level flex containers are in the list above but are not block containers; I believe multicol should not apply to them. Flex items are not in the list, but are block containers; multicol should apply. "Block container" is the general term that stays relevant as we keep adding new layout modes. Except that elements that multicol are not block containers anymore. So I guess that the properties really apply to "elements that would otherwise have been block containers." But that’s awkward. "Applies to: block containers" is probably a good enough approximation. -- Simon Sapin
