<p><em>This section is not normative.</em></p>
<p>Popular UX paradigms for scrollable content frequently employ paging through content,
or sectioning into logical divisions.
This is especially true for touch interactions
where it is quicker and easier for users to quickly pan through a flatly-arranged breadth of content
rather than delving into a heirarchical structure through tap navigation.
For example, it is easier for a user to view many photos in a photo album
by panning through a photo slideshow view
rather than tapping on individual photos in an album.</p>
<p>However, given the imprecise nature of scrolling inputs
like touch panning and mousewheel scrolling,
it is difficult for web developers to guarantee a well-controlled scrolling experience,
in particular creating the effect of paging through content.
For instance, it is easy for a user to land at an awkward scroll offset
which leaves a page partially on-screen when panning.</p>
<p>To this end, we introduce scroll snap points
which enforce the scroll offsets that a <a data-link-type="dfn" href="#scroll-container">scroll container’s</a> visual viewport may end at
after a scrolling operation has completed.</p>
<h3 class="heading settled" data-level="1.1" id="placement"><span class="secno">1.1. </span><span class="content">Module interactions</span><a class="self-link" href="#placement"></a></h3>
<p>This module extends the scrolling user interface features defined in <a data-link-type="biblio" href="#biblio-css21">[CSS21]</a> section 11.1.</p>

<div class="example" id="example-b352af50">
<a class="self-link" href="#example-b352af50"></a> In this example, a series of images arranged in a <a data-link-type="dfn" href="#scroll-container">scroll container</a> are used to build a photo gallery.
The <a data-link-type="dfn" href="#scroll-container">scroll container</a> is sized to the same size of the images contained therein.
Using mandatory snap points,
scrolling will always complete with a snap point aligned to the edge of the <a data-link-type="dfn" href="#scroll-container">scroll container’s</a> visual viewport.
By aligning a snap point at the edge of each image,
this creates a photo viewer where users can scroll through the images one at a time.

<div class="example" id="example-deda810f">
<a class="self-link" href="#example-deda810f"></a> This example also builds a photo gallery as in example 1. However, in this example the <a data-link-type="dfn" href="#scroll-container">scroll container</a> is larger than the photos contained within (such that multiple images may be seen simultaneously), and the image
sizes vary (such that a repeating snap interval would not be effective). Using mandatory element-based snap

<div class="example" id="example-34b24935">

This allows the previous page to "peek" in from above in order to make the user aware that they are not yet at the top of the document.
Using proximity snap points instead of mandatory snap points allows the user to stop halfway through a page (rather than forcing them
to snap one page at a time). However, if a scrolling operation would finish near a snap point, then the scroll will be adjusted to
align the page as specified.

<p>Conformance requirements are expressed with a combination of
descriptive assertions and RFC 2119 terminology. The key words "MUST",
"MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT",
"RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in the normative parts of this
document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119.
However, for readability, these words do not appear in all uppercase

<p>All of the text of this specification is normative except sections
explicitly marked as non-normative, examples, and notes. <a data-link-type="biblio" href="#biblio-rfc2119">[RFC2119]</a></p>
<p>Examples in this specification are introduced with the words "for example"
or are set apart from the normative text with <code>class="example"</code>,
like this: </p>

<h3 class="no-ref heading settled" id="conformance-classes"><span class="content"> Conformance classes</span><a class="self-link" href="#conformance-classes"></a></h3>
<p>Conformance to this specification
is defined for three conformance classes: </p>
<dl>
<dt>style sheet
<dd>A <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/conform.html#style-sheet">CSS
style sheet</a>.
<dt>renderer
<dd>A <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/conform.html#user-agent">UA</a> that interprets the semantics of a style sheet and renders
documents that use them.
<dt>authoring tool
<dd>A <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/conform.html#user-agent">UA</a> that writes a style sheet.
</dl>
<p>A style sheet is conformant to this specification
if all of its statements that use syntax defined in this module are valid
according to the generic CSS grammar and the individual grammars of each
feature defined in this module. </p>
<p>A renderer is conformant to this specification
if, in addition to interpreting the style sheet as defined by the
appropriate specifications, it supports all the features defined
by this specification by parsing them correctly
and rendering the document accordingly. However, the inability of a
UA to correctly render a document due to limitations of the device
does not make the UA non-conformant. (For example, a UA is not
required to render color on a monochrome monitor.) </p>
<p>An authoring tool is conformant to this specification
if it writes style sheets that are syntactically correct according to the
generic CSS grammar and the individual grammars of each feature in
this module, and meet all other conformance requirements of style sheets
as described in this module. </p>
<h3 class="no-ref heading settled" id="partial"><span class="content"> Partial implementations</span><a class="self-link" href="#partial"></a></h3>
<p>So that authors can exploit the forward-compatible parsing rules to
assign fallback values, CSS renderers <strong>must</strong> treat as invalid (and <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/conform.html#ignore">ignore
as appropriate</a>) any at-rules, properties, property values, keywords,
and other syntactic constructs for which they have no usable level of
support. In particular, user agents <strong>must not</strong> selectively
ignore unsupported component values and honor supported values in a single
multi-value property declaration: if any value is considered invalid
(as unsupported values must be), CSS requires that the entire declaration
be ignored.</p>
<h3 class="no-ref heading settled" id="experimental"><span class="content"> Experimental implementations</span><a class="self-link" href="#experimental"></a></h3>
<p>To avoid clashes with future CSS features, the CSS2.1 specification
reserves a <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/syndata.html#vendor-keywords">prefixed
syntax</a> for proprietary and experimental extensions to CSS. </p>
<p>Prior to a specification reaching the Candidate Recommendation stage
in the W3C process, all implementations of a CSS feature are considered
experimental. The CSS Working Group recommends that implementations
use a vendor-prefixed syntax for such features, including those in
W3C Working Drafts. This avoids incompatibilities with future changes
in the draft. </p>
<h3 class="no-ref heading settled" id="testing"><span class="content"> Non-experimental implementations</span><a class="self-link" href="#testing"></a></h3>
<p>Once a specification reaches the Candidate Recommendation stage,
non-experimental implementations are possible, and implementors should
release an unprefixed implementation of any CR-level feature they
can demonstrate to be correctly implemented according to spec. </p>
<p>To establish and maintain the interoperability of CSS across
implementations, the CSS Working Group requests that non-experimental
CSS renderers submit an implementation report (and, if necessary, the
testcases used for that implementation report) to the W3C before
releasing an unprefixed implementation of any CSS features. Testcases
submitted to W3C are subject to review and correction by the CSS
Working Group. </p>
<p>Further information on submitting testcases and implementation reports
can be found from on the CSS Working Group’s website at <a href="http://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/Test/">http://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/Test/</a>.
