Introduction {#intro}
=====================
<em>This section is not normative.</em>
The layout stage of CSS is responsible for generating and positioning <a>fragments</a> from the
<a>box tree</a>.
This specification describes an API which allows developers to layout a <a>box</a> in response to
computed style and <a>box tree</a> changes.
Layout API Containers {#layout-api-containers}
==============================================
<pre class="propdef">
Name: <<display-inside>>
New values: layout(<<ident>>)
</pre>
<dl dfn-for="display" dfn-type=value>
<dt><dfn>layout()</dfn>
<dd>
This value causes an element to generate a <a>layout API container</a> box.
</dl>
A <dfn>layout API container</dfn> is the box generated by an element with a <<display-inside>>
<a>computed value</a> ''layout()''.
A <a>layout API container</a> establishes a new <dfn>layout API formatting context</dfn> for its
contents. This is the same as establishing a block formatting context, except that the layout
provided by the author is used instead of the block layout.
For example, floats do not intrude into the layout API container, and the layout API container's
margins do not collapse with the margins of its contents.
All inflow children of a <a>layout API container</a> are called <dfn>layout API children</dfn> and
are laid out using the auther defined layout.
<a>Layout API containers</a> form a containing block for their contents
<a href="https://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/visudet.html#containing-block-details">exactly like block
containers do</a>. [[!CSS21]]
Note: In a future level of the specification there may be a way to override the containing block
behaviour.
The 'overflow' property applies to <a>layout API containers</a>. This is discussed in
[[#interaction-overflow]].
As the layout is entirely up to the author, properties which are used in other layout modes (e.g.
flex, block) may not apply. For example an author may not repect the 'margin' property on children.
Layout API Container Painting {#painting}
-----------------------------------------
<a>Layout API Container</a> children paint exactly the same as inline blocks [[!CSS21]], except that
the order in which they are returned from the layout method (via
{{FragmentResultOptions/childFragments}}) is used in place of raw document order, and 'z-index'
values other than ''z-index/auto'' create a stacking context even if 'position' is ''static''.
Box Tree Transformations {#layout-api-box-tree}
-----------------------------------------------
The <a>layout API children</a> can act in different ways depending on the value of <a for="document
layout definition">child display</a> (set by <code>childDisplay</code> on the class).
If the value of <a for="document layout definition">child display</a> is <code>"block"</code> the
'display' value of that child is <a>blockified</a>. This is similar to children of <a>flex
containers</a> or <a>grid containers</a>. See [[!css3-display]].
If the value of <a for="document layout definition">child display</a> is <code>"normal"</code>, no
<a>blockification</a> occurs. Instead children with a <<display-outside>> <a>computed value</a> of
''inline'' (a <a>root inline box</a>) will produce a single {{Fragment}} representing each line when
{{LayoutChild/layoutNextFragment()}} is called.
Note: This allows authors to adjust the available inline size of each line, and position each line
separately.
Children of a {{LayoutChild}} which represents <a>root inline box</a> also have some additional
transformations.
- A <a>block-level</a> box inside a <a>inline-level</a> box is <a>inlinified</a> I.e. its
<<display-outside>> is set to ''inline''.
- A <a>float</a> inside a <a>inline-level</a> box is not taken out of flow. Instead it must be
treated as inflow, and be <a>inlinified</a>.
In both of the above cases the children become <a>atomic inlines</a>.
Note: User agents would not perform any "inline splitting" or fragmenting when they encounter a
<a>block-level</a> box.
<div class="note">

Layout API Model and Terminology {#layout-api-model-and-terminology}
====================================================================
This section gives an overview of the Layout API given to authors.
The <dfn>current layout</dfn> is the layout algorithm for the <a>box</a> we are currently performing
layout for.
The <dfn>parent layout</dfn> is the layout algorithm for the <a>box</a>'s direct parent, (the layout
algorithm which is requesting the <a>current layout</a> to be performed).
A <dfn>child layout</dfn> is the layout algorithm for a {{LayoutChild}} of the <a>current layout</a>.
Layout Children {#layout-children}
----------------------------------
<pre class='idl'>
[Exposed=LayoutWorklet]
interface LayoutChild {
readonly attribute StylePropertyMapReadOnly styleMap;
IntrinsicSizesRequest intrinsicSizes();
FragmentRequest layoutNextFragment(ConstraintSpace space, ChildBreakToken breakToken);
};
</pre>
A {{LayoutChild}} represents either a CSS generated <a>box</a> before layout has occured. (The box
or boxes will all have a computed value of 'display' that is not ''none'').
The {{LayoutChild}} does not contain any layout information itself (like inline or block size) but
can be used to generate {{Fragment}}s which do contain layout information.
An author cannot construct a {{LayoutChild}} with this API, this happens at a separate stage of the
rendering engine (post style resolution).
The {{LayoutChild}} has computed style which can be accessed by {{LayoutChild/styleMap}}. The
{{LayoutChild/styleMap}} will only contain properties which are listed in the child input properties
array.
A {{LayoutChild}} could be generated by:
- An <a>element</a>.
- A <a>root inline box</a>.
- A <a>::before</a> or <a>::after</a> pseudo-element.
Note: Other pseudo-elements such as <a>::first-letter</a> or <a>::first-line</a> do not generate
a {{LayoutChild}} for layout purposes. They are additional styling information for a text
node.
- An <a>anonymous box</a>. For example an anonymous box may be inserted as a result of:
- A text node which has undergone <a>blockification</a>. (Or more generally a <a>root inline
box</a> which has undergone <a>blockification</a>).
- An element with ''display: table-cell'' which doesn't have a parent with ''display: table''.
<div class="note">
Note: As an example the following would be placed into three {{LayoutChild}}ren:
<pre class="lang-html">
<style>
#box::before { content: 'hello!'; }
</style>
<!-- A ::before pseudo-element is inserted here. -->
<div id="box">A block level box with text.</div>
<img src="..." />
</pre>
</div>
<div class="note">
Note: As an example the following would be placed into a single {{LayoutChild}} as they share a
<a>root inline box</a>:
<pre class="lang-html">
This is a next node, <span>with some additional styling,
that may</span> break over<br>multiple lines.
</pre>
</div>
Multiple non-<a>atomic inlines</a> are placed within the same {{LayoutChild}} to allow rendering
engines to perform text shaping across element boundaries.
<div class="note">
Note: As an example the following should produce one {{Fragment}} but is from
three non-<a>atomic inlines</a>:
<pre class="lang-html">
ع<span style="color: blue">ع</span>ع
</pre>
</div>
Note: In a future level of the specification there may be a way to query the computed style
of <a>inline boxes</a> inside a <a>root inline box</a> represented by a {{LayoutChild}}.
An array of {{LayoutChild}}ren is passed into the layout method which represents the children of the
current box which is being laid out.
To perform layout on a box the author can invoke the {{LayoutChild/layoutNextFragment()}} method.
This will produce a {{Fragment}} which contains layout information.
The {{LayoutChild/layoutNextFragment()}} method may be invoked multiple times with different
arguments to query the {{LayoutChild}} for different layout information.
Layout Fragments {#layout-fragments}
------------------------------------
<pre class='idl'>
[Exposed=LayoutWorklet]
interface Fragment {
readonly attribute double inlineSize;
readonly attribute double blockSize;
attribute double inlineOffset;
attribute double blockOffset;
readonly attribute any data;
readonly attribute ChildBreakToken? breakToken;
};
/* NOTE EVERYTHING BELOW HERE IS SPECULATIVE */
interface LineFragment : Fragment {
readonly attribute sequence<LineFragmentSegment> segments;
};
interface LineFragmentSegment {
readonly attribute LineFragmentSegmentType type;
readonly attribute LineFragmentSegmentBreakType breakType;
readonly attribute FontMetrics? metrics;
readonly attribute double inlineOffset;
};
enum LineFragmentSegmentType {
"word-break",
"atomic-inline",
/* TODO add others here, not sure yet. */
};
enum LineFragmentSegmentBreakType {
"something"
/* TODO add others here, not sure yet. */
};
</pre>
A {{Fragment}} represents a CSS <a>fragment</a> of a {{LayoutChild}} after layout has occurred on
that child. This is produced by the {{LayoutChild/layoutNextFragment()}} method.
The {{Fragment}} has {{Fragment/inlineSize}} and {{Fragment/blockSize}} attributes, which are set by
the respective child's layout algorithm. They cannot be changed. If the <a>current layout</a>
requires a different {{Fragment/inlineSize}} or {{Fragment/blockSize}} the author must perform
{{LayoutChild/layoutNextFragment()}} again with different arguments in order to get different
results.
The author inside the current layout can position a resulting {{Fragment}} by setting its
{{Fragment/inlineOffset}} and {{Fragment/blockOffset}} attributes. If not set by the author they
default to zero. The {{Fragment/inlineOffset}} and {{Fragment/blockOffset}} attributes represent the
position of the {{Fragment}} relative to its parent's border box, before transform or positioning
(e.g. if a fragment is <a>relatively positioned</a>) has been applied.
<div class="example">
The layout algorithm performs a block-like layout (positioning fragments sequentially in the block
direction), while centering its children in the inline direction.
<pre class="lang-javascript">
registerLayout('block-like', class {
*intrinsicSizes(styleMap, children) {
const childrenSizes = yield children.map((child) => {

return Math.max(max, childSizes.maxContentContribution);
}, 0);
const minContentSize = childrenSizes.reduce((max, childSizes) => {
return Math.max(max, childSizes.minContentContribution);
}, 0);
return {maxContentSize, minContentSize};
}
*layout(space, children, styleMap, edges) {
const inlineSize = resolveInlineSize(space, styleMap);
const availableInlineSize = inlineSize - edges.all.inline;
const availableBlockSize =
resolveBlockSize(constraintSpace, styleMap) - edges.all.block;
const childFragments = [];
const childConstraintSpace = new ConstraintSpace({
inlineSize: availableInlineSize,
blockSize: availableBlockSize,
});
const childFragments = yeild children.map((child) => {
return child.layoutNextFragment(childConstraintSpace);
});
let blockOffset = edges.all.blockStart;
for (let fragment of childFragments) {
// Position the fragment in a block like manner, centering it in the
// inline direction.
fragment.blockOffset = blockOffset;
fragment.inlineOffset = Math.max(
edges.all.inlineStart,
(availableInlineSize - fragment.inlineSize) / 2);
blockOffset += fragment.blockSize;
}
const autoBlockSize = blockOffset + edges.all.blockEnd;
const blockSize = resolveBlockSize(
constraintSpace, styleMap, autoBlockSize);
return {
inlineSize: inlineSize,
blockSize: blockSize,
childFragments: childFragments,
};
}
});
</pre>
</div>
A <a>layout API container</a> can communicate with other <a>layout API containers</a> by using the
{{Fragment/data}} attribute. This is set by the {{FragmentResultOptions/data}} member in the
{{FragmentResultOptions}} dictionary.
The {{Fragment}}'s {{Fragment/breakToken}} specifies where the {{LayoutChild}} last fragmented. If
the {{Fragment/breakToken}} is null the {{LayoutChild}} wont produce any more {{Fragment}}s for that
token chain. The {{Fragment/breakToken}} can be passed to the {{LayoutChild/layoutNextFragment()}}
function to produce the next {{Fragment}} for a particular child. The {{Fragment/breakToken}} cannot
be changed.
If the <a>current layout</a> requires a different {{Fragment/breakToken}} the author must perform
{{LayoutChild/layoutNextFragment()}} again with different arguments.
Note: In a future level of the specification there may be a way to query for additional baseline
information, for example where the alphabetic or center baseline is positioned.
Constraint Spaces {#constraint-spaces}

};
</pre>
The constraint space would mirror this, additionally with the blockSize, and inlineSize attributes
which represent the resolved inline and block sizes for the fragment.
</div>
A {{ConstraintSpace}} is passed into the layout method which represents the available space for the
<a>current layout</a> to perform layout inside. It is also used to pass information about the
available space into a <a>child layout</a>.
The {{ConstraintSpace}} has {{ConstraintSpace/inlineSize}} and {{ConstraintSpace/blockSize}}
attributes. This represents the <a>available space</a> for a {{Fragment}} which the layout should
respect.
Note: Some layouts may need to produce a {{Fragment}} which exceed this size. For example a
<a>replaced element</a>. The <a>parent layout</a> should expect this to occur and deal with it
appropriately.
A <a>parent layout</a> may require the <a>current layout</a> to be exactly a particular size. If
the {{ConstraintSpace/inlineSizeFixed}} or {{ConstraintSpace/blockSizeFixed}} are true the
<a>current layout</a> should produce a {{Fragment}} with a fixed size in the appropriate direction.
<div class="example">
The layout algorithm performs a flexbox-like distribution of spare space in the inline direction. It
creates child constraint spaces which specify that a child should be a fixed inline size.
<pre class="lang-javascript">

</div>
The {{ConstraintSpace}} has {{ConstraintSpace/percentageInlineSize}} and
{{ConstraintSpace/percentageBlockSize}} attributes. These represent the size that a layout
percentages should be resolved against while performing layout.
The {{ConstraintSpace}} has a {{ConstraintSpace/blockFragmentationType}} attribute. The <a>current
layout</a> should produce a {{Fragment}} which fragments at the {{ConstraintSpace/blockSize}} if
possible.
The <a>current layout</a> may choose not to fragment a {{LayoutChild}} based on the
{{ConstraintSpace/blockFragmentationType}}, for example if the child has a property like
''break-inside: avoid-page;''.
Breaking and Fragmentation {#breaking-and-fragmentation}

A {{LayoutChild}} can produce multiple {{Fragment}}s. A {{LayoutChild}} may fragment in the block
direction if a {{ConstraintSpace/blockFragmentationType}} is not none. Additionally {{LayoutChild}}
which represents <a>inline-level</a> content, may fragment line by line if the <a for="document
layout definition">child display</a> (set by <code>childDisplay</code>) is <code>"normal"</code>.
A subsequent {{Fragment}} is produced by using the previous {{Fragment}}'s {{Fragment/breakToken}}.
This tells the <a>child layout</a> to produce a {{Fragment}} starting at the point encoded in the
{{ChildBreakToken}}.
Issue: Explain resuming the author defined layout.
<div class="example">

A {{LayoutEdges}} object is passed into the layout method. This represents size of the <a>box

The {{LayoutEdges}} has {{LayoutEdges/border}}, {{LayoutEdges/scrollbar}}, and
{{LayoutEdges/padding}} attributes. Each of these represent the width of their respective edge.
The {{LayoutEdges}} has the {{LayoutEdges/all}} attribute. This is a convenience attribute which
represents the sum of the {{LayoutEdges/border}}, {{LayoutEdges/scrollbar}}, {{LayoutEdges/padding}}
edges.
The {{LayoutEdgeSizes}} object represents the width in CSS pixels of an edge in each of the
<a>abstract dimensions</a> ({{LayoutEdgeSizes/inlineStart}}, {{LayoutEdgeSizes/inlineEnd}},
{{LayoutEdgeSizes/blockStart}}, {{LayoutEdgeSizes/blockEnd}}).
The {{LayoutEdgeSizes/inline}}, and {{LayoutEdgeSizes/block}} on the {{LayoutEdgeSizes}} object are

Interactions with other Modules {#interactions-with-other-modules}
==================================================================
This section describes how other CSS modules interact with the CSS Layout API.
Sizing {#interaction-sizing}
----------------------------
User agents must use the {{ConstraintSpace}} to communicate to the <a>current layout</a> the size
they would like the fragment to be.
If the user agent wishes to force a size on the box, it can use the
{{ConstraintSpace/inlineSizeFixed}} and {{ConstraintSpace/blockSizeFixed}} attributes to do so.
Issue: Do we want the inlineSize to always be fixed? This would remove the resolveInlineSize call,
and just rely on the pre-defined behaviour by the user agent.
The downside to this is that we won't be able to things like MathML in the initial version of
the specifcation, which is able to "bubble" up inline sizes to its parent.
We can't do a similar thing for the blockSize due to fragmentation. E.g. the size of the
fragment which is undergoing fragmentation, isn't able to be automatically resolved.
If the <a>layout API container</a> is within a <a>block formatting context</a>, is inflow, and has
an ''width/auto'' inline size, the user agent <em>must</em> set the {{ConstraintSpace/inlineSize}}
to the <a>stretch-fit inline size</a>.
<div class="note">
Note: In the example below the <a>layout API container</a> has its inline size set to 50.
<pre class="lang-html">
<style>
#container {
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
box-sizing: border-box;
padding: 5px;
}
#layout-api {
display: layout(foo);
margin: 0 20px;
}
</style>
<div id="container">
<div id="layout-api"></div>
</div>
</pre>
</div>
### Positioned layout sizing ### {#interaction-sizing-positiong-layout}
If a <a>layout API container</a> is out-of-flow positioned the user agent <em>must</em> solve the
positioned size equations ([[css-position-3#abs-non-replaced-width]],
[[css-position-3#abs-non-replaced-height]]), and set the appropriate fixed
{{ConstraintSpace/inlineSize}} and {{ConstraintSpace/blockSize}}.
<div class="note">
Note: In the example below the <a>layout API container</a> has its inline and block size fixed
to 80.
<pre class="lang-html">
<style>
#container {
position: relative;
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
}
#layout-api {
display: layout(foo);
top: 10px;
bottom: 10px;
left: 10px;
right: 10px;
position: absolute;
}
</style>
<div id="container">
<div id="layout-api"></div>
</div>
</pre>
</div>
Positioning {#interaction-positioning}
--------------------------------------
All positioning in this level of the specification is handled by the user agent.
As a result:
- Out-of-flow children do not appear as {{LayoutChild}}ren.
- <a>Layout API containers</a> establish <a>containing blocks</a> <a
href="https://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/visudet.html#containing-block-details">exactly like block
containers do</a>. [[!CSS21]]
- The {{Fragment/inlineOffset}} and {{Fragment/blockOffset}} represent the position of the
fragment before any positioning and transforms have occured.
- The <a>static position</a> of an absolutely-positioned child of a <a>layout API container</a> is
set to the <a>inline-start</a>, <a>block-start</a> padding edge of the <a>layout API
container</a>. Auto margins are treated as zero for the child.
<div class="note">
Note: In the example below:
- "child-relative" would be the only child passed to the author's layout. If it was positioned
at ({{Fragment/inlineOffset}} <code>= 20</code>, {{Fragment/blockOffset}} <code> =
30</code>), its final position would be (<code>25</code>, <code>40</code>) as the relative
positioning was handled by the user agent.
- "child-absolute" would not appear as a {{LayoutChild}}, and instead would be laid out and
positioned by the user agent.
- The examples above also apply in a similar way to sticky and fixed positioned children.
<pre class="lang-html">
<style>
#container {
display: layout(foo);
position: relative; /* container is a containing block */
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
}
#child-relative {
position: relative;
left: 5px;
top: 10px;
}
</style>
<div id="container">
<div id="child-relative"></div>
<div id="child-absolute"></div>
</div>
</pre>

Overflow {#interaction-overflow}
