First Public Working Draft: CSS Inline Layout; CSS Box Alignment Draft Published

The Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) Working Group has published two documents today:

• A First Public Working Draft of CSS Inline Layout Module Level 3. The CSS formatting model provides for a flow of elements and text inside of a container to be wrapped into lines. The formatting of elements and text within a line, its positioning in the inline progression direction, and the breaking of lines are described in CSS Text Module Level 3. This module describes the positioning in the block progression direction both of elements and text within lines and of the lines themselves. This positioning is often relative to a baseline. It also describes special features for formatting of first lines and drop caps. It extends on the model in CSS 2.1.
• A Working Draft of CSS Box Alignment Module Level 3. This module contains the features of CSS relating to the alignment of boxes within their containers in the various CSS box layout models: block layout, table layout, flex layout, and grid layout.
