From a side discussion with Greg Whitworth at the face-to-face meeting (triggered by Greg pointing out https://twitter.com/HugoGiraudel/status/565093151904645120 ): Looking at either: http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css2/text.html#indentation-prop http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css-text/#text-indent-property it's not clear what percentages on text-indent mean. It says that percentages refer to the width of the containing block: but is that the containing block of the line with the text, or the containing block of the block to which text-indent applies (i.e., the first block's containing block)? Apparently browsers disagree on this. Making the spec's wording more precise seems likely to help. -David -- 𝄞 L.
