A while back we had a client that wanted a layout for their magazine that consisted of a number of article snippets, each having a heading and a bunch of paragraphs. The idea was that each snippet would start in a new column, and the heading would be pulled up out of the column flow. The plan was to use a relative position to move the heading up, and add a negative bottom margin to pull up the following paragraphs. At the time I don't think we had working column breaks, so it was probably more complicated than that, but that was the general idea. I believe in the end we just gave up on that layout and left the headings inline. Regards JamesReceived on Tuesday, 5 March 2013 10:00:11 UTC
