<h2 class="no-num no-toc" id="abstract">Abstract</h2>
<p>CSS Exclusions define arbitrary areas around which <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/visuren.html#inline-boxes">inline content</a> ([[!CSS21]]) can flow.
CSS Exclusions can be defined on any CSS block-level elements. CSS
Exclusions extend the notion of content wrapping previously limited to
floats.</p>
<h2 class="no-num no-toc" id="status">Status of this document</h2>
<!--status-->
<p>This specification was previously called “CSS Exclusions and
Shapes.” The definitions for shapes are now in a separate
specification, see [[CSS-SHAPES]].
<h2 class="no-num no-toc" id="contents">Table of contents</h2>

<h2 id="intro">Introduction</h2>
<p><em>This section is not normative.</em></p>
<p>
This specification defines features that allow inline flow
content to wrap around outside the <span>exclusion area</span> of elements.
</p>
<h2 id="definitions">Terminology</h2>
<p><dfn>Exclusion box</dfn>
<p>
A <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-box/">box</a> ([[!CSS3BOX]]) that defines an <span>exclusion area</span> for other boxes. The 'wrap-flow'
property is used to make an element's generated box an exclu
10928
sion box. An exclusion box contributes
its <span>exclusion area</span> to its <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/visudet.html#containing-block-details">
containing block's</a> <span>wrapping context</span>. An element with a 'float'
computed value other than 'none' does not become an exclusion.
</p>
<p><dfn>Exclusion area</dfn>
<p>
The area used for excluding inline flow content around an exclusion box. The
<span>exclusion area</span> is equivalent to the <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/box.html#box-dimensions">
border box</a> for an exclusion box.
</p>
<p class="note">
If a user agent implements both CSS Exclusions and CSS Shapes,
the shape-outside property defines the exclusion area
instead of the border box.
</p>
<p><dfn>Exclusion element</dfn>
<p>
An <span>exclusion element</span>
is a block-level element
which is not a float
and generates an <span>exclusion box</span>.
An element generates an exclusion box when
its 'wrap-flow' property's computed value
is not 'auto'.
</p>
<p><dfn>Wrapping context</dfn>
<p>
The <span>wrapping context</span>
of a box is a collection
of <span>exclusion areas</span>
contributed by its associated <span>exclusion boxes</span>.
During layout,
a box wraps its inline flow content
in the <code>wrapping area</code>
that corresponds to the subtraction
of its <span>wrapping context</span>
from its own <span>content area</span>.
</p>
<p>
A box inherits its
<a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/visudet.html#containing-block-details">containing block's</a>
<span>wrapping context</span> unless it specifically
resets it using the 'wrap-through' property.
</p>
<p><dfn>Content area</dfn>
<p>
The <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/box.html#box-dimensions">content area</a>
is normally used for layout of the inline flow content of a box.
</p>
<p><dfn>Wrapping area</dfn>
<p>
The area used for layout of inline flow content of a box affected by a <span>wrapping context</span>, defined by subtracting the <span>wrapping context</span> from its <span>content area</span>
</p>
<p><dfn title="outside-inside">Outside and inside</dfn>
<p>
In this specification, 'outside' refers to DOM content that is not a descendant of an element
while 'inside' refers to the element's descendants.
</p>
<h2 id="exclusions">Exclusions</h2>
<p>
Exclusion elements define <span>exclusion areas</span> that contribute to their containing block's
<span>wrapping context</span>. As a consequence, exclusions impact the layout of their
containing block's descendants.
<p>
<p>
Elements lay out their inline content in their <span>content area</span> and wrap around the
<span>exclusion areas</span> in their associated <span>wrapping context</span>. If the element is itself an exclusion, it
does not wrap around its own exclusion area and the impact of other exclusions on other
exclusions is controlled by the 'z-index' property as explained in the
<a href="#exclusions-order">exclusions order</a> section.
<h3 id="declaring-exclusions">Declaring exclusions</h3>

An element becomes an exclusion when its 'wrap-flow' property has a computed value other than
'auto'.

The above figure illustrates how exclusions are combined.
The outermost box represents an element's content box.
The A, B, C and D darker gray boxes represent exclusions
in the element's <span>wrapping context</span>.
A, B, C and D have their respective 'wrap-flow'
computed to 'both', 'start', 'end' and 'clear' respectively.
The lighter gray areas show the additional areas
that are excluded for inline layout
as a result of the 'wrap-flow'value.
For example, the area to the right of 'B'
cannot be used for inline layout
of left-to-right writing mode content
because the 'wrap-flow' for 'B' is 'start'.
</p>
<p>
The background 'blue' area shows what areas are available
for a left-to-right writing mode element's inline content layout.
All areas represented with a light or dark shade of gray
are not available for (left-to-right writing mode) inline content layout.

<p>
Exclusions follow the painting order (See [[!CSS21]] Appendix E). Exclusions are
applied in reverse to the document order in which they are defined. The last exclusion
appears on top of all other exclusion, thus it affects the inline flow content of
all other preceding exclusions or elements descendant of the same containing block.
The 'z-index' property can be used to change the ordering of
<a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/visuren.html#choose-position">positioned</a> exclusion
boxes (see [[!CSS21]]). Statically positioned exclusions are not affected by the
'z-index' property and thus follow the painting order.

</div>
</div>
<div class="issue">
<p>The current draft provides a model for exclusions
without a collision-avoidance model.
The existing exclusion model in CSS uses floats,
which have both exclusion and collision-avoidance behavior.
Concerns have been raised that allowing exclusions
without collision avoidance could be harmful,
particularly with absolutely-positioned elements.
Three options should be considered:<p>
<ol>
<li>Allow exclusions in positioning schemes
with no collision avoidance.</li>
<li>Disallow exclusions in positioning schemes
with no collision avoidance.</li>
<li>Define collision-avoidance behavior
for positioning schemes without it,
and use this behavior by default with exclusions.</li>

<h3 id="exclusions-processing-model">Processing model</h3>
<h4 id="exclusions-processing-model-description">Description</h4>
<p>Applying exclusions is a two-step process:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Step 1</strong>: resolve exclusion boxes belonging to each <span>wrapping context</span></li>
<li><strong>Step 2</strong>: resolve <span>wrapping context</span>s and lay out each containing block in turn:
<ul>
<li><strong>Step 2-A</strong>: resolve the position and size of exclusion boxes</li>
<li><strong>Step 2-B</strong>: lay out containing block, wrapping around <span>exclusion areas</span></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="step-1-resolve-exclusion-boxes-belonging-to-each-wrapping-context">Step 1: resolve exclusion boxes belonging to each <span>wrapping context</span></h4>
<p>In this step, the user agent determines which <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/visudet.html#containing-block-details">containing block</a> each
<span>exclusion area</span> belongs to. This is a simple step, based on the
definition of containing blocks and elements with a computed value for 'wrap-flow'
that is not <code class="css">auto</code>.</p>
<h4 id="step-2-resolve-wrapping-contexts-layout-containing-blocks">Step 2: resolve wrapping contexts and lay out containing blocks</h4>
<p>In this step, starting from the
top of the <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/visuren.html#z-index">rendering tree</a> (see [[!CSS21]]),
the the agent processes each containing block in two sub-steps.</p>
<h4 id="step-2-A-resolve-exclusions-position-and-size">Step 2-A: resolve the position and size of exclusion boxes</h4>
<p>Resolving the position and size
of <span>exclusion boxes</span>
in the <span>wrapping context</span>
may or may not require a layout.
For example,
if an <span>exclusion box</span>
is absolutely positioned and sized,
a layout may not be needed
to resolve its position and size.
In other situations,
laying out the containing block's content is required.</p>
<p>When a layout is required,
it is carried out
without applying any <span>exclusion area</span>.
In other words,
the containing block is laid out
without a <span>wrapping context</span>. </p>
<p>Step 2-A yields a position and size
for all <span>exclusion boxes</span>
in the <span>wrapping context</span>.
Each exclusion box is processed in turn,
starting from the top-most,
and each <span>exclusion area</span>
is computed and contributed
to the <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/visudet.html#containing-block-details">containing block's</a>
<span>wrapping context</span>. </p>
<p>Scrolling is ignored in this step
when resolving the position and size
of 'position:fixed' <span>exclusion boxes</span>.</p>
<p>Once the <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/visudet.html#containing-block-details">containing block's</a>
<span>wrapping context</span> is computed,
all <span>exclusion boxes</span>
in that <span>wrapping context</span>
are removed from the normal flow.</p>
<h4 id="step-2-B-layout-containing-block-applying-wrapping">Step 2-B: lay out containing block applying wrapping</h4>
<p>Finally, the content
of the containing block is laid out,
with the inline content wrapping around
the <span>wrapping content</span>'s
<span>exclusion areas</span>
</p>
<p>When the containing block itself is an <span>exclusion box</span>, then
rules on <a href="#exclusions-order">exclusions order</a> define which exclusions
affect the inline and descendant content of the box.</p>

alt="Layout tree boxes"/>
<p class="caption">Layout tree of generated block boxes</p>
</div>
<h5>Step 1: resolve exclusion boxes belonging to each <span>wrapping context</span></h5>
<p>The figures illustrate how the boxes corresponding to the element sometimes
have a different containment hierarchy in the layout tree than in the DOM tree.
For example, the box generated by <code class="idl">e1</code> is positioned in
its containing block's box, which is the <code class="idl">d1-box</code>, because
<code class="idl">e1</code> is absolutely positioned and <code class="idl">d1</code>
is relatively positioned. However, while <code class="idl">e2</code> is also absolutely
positioned, its containing block is the initial containing block (ICB). See the
section 10.1 of the CSS 2.1 specification ([[!CSS21]]) for details.</p>
<p>As a result of the computation of containing blocks for the tree, the boxes belonging
to the <span>wrapping context</span>s of all the elements can be determined:</p>
<ul>
<li>The <span>wrapping context</span> for the html element contains the <code class="idl">e2</code> box: WC-1 (Wrapping Context 1)</li>
<li>The <span>wrapping context</span> for the body element inherits the html element's <span>wrapping context</span>: WC-1</li>
<li>The <span>wrapping context</span> for <code class="idl">d1</code> inherits the body element's
<span>wrapping context</span> and adds the <code class="idl">e1-box</code> to it. So the wrapping
context is made of both the <code class="idl">e1-box</code> and the
<code class="idl">e2-box</code>: WC-2</li>
<li>The <span>wrapping context</span> for <code class="idl">d2</code> inherits the body element's
<span>wrapping context</span>: WC-1</li>
</ul>
<h5>Step 2: resolve wrapping contexts and lay out containing blocks</h5>
<p>In this step, each containing block is processed in turn. For each containing block,
we (conceptually) go through two phases:</p>
<ol>
<li>resolve the <span>wrapping context</span>: resolve the position and size of its exclusions</li>
<li>lay out the containing block</li>
</ol>
<p>In our example, this breaks down to:</p>
<ol>
<li>resolve the position and size of the exclusions belonging to WC-1: RWC-1 (Resolved Wrapping Context 1).</li>
<li>lay out the initial containing block (i.e., lay out its content):
<ol>
<li>resolve the html element's <span>wrapping context</span>: RWC-1</li>
<li>lay out the html element:
<ol>
<li>resolve the body element's <span>wrapping context</span>: RWC-1</li>
<li>lay out the body element:
<ol>
<li>resolve the <code class="idl">d1</code> element's <span>wrapping context</span>: RWC-2</li>
<li>lay out the <code class="idl">d1</code> element</li>
<li>resolve the <code class="idl">d2</code> element's <span>wrapping context</span>: RWC-1</li>
<li>lay out the <code class="idl">d2</code> element</li>
</ol>
</li>
</ol>
</li>
</ol>
</li>
</ol>
<h6>Resolving RWC-1</h6>
<p>The top-most <span>wrapping context</span> in the layout tree contains the <code class="idl">e2</code>
exclusion. Its position and size needs to be resolved. In general, computing an
exclusion's position and size may or may not require laying out other content.
In our example, no content needs to be laid out to resolve the <code class="idl">e2</code>
exclusion's position because it is absolutely positioned and its size can be resolved
without layout either. At this point, RWC-1 is resolved and can be used when
laying inline content out.</p>
<h6>Resolving RWC-2</h6>
<p>The process is similar: the position of the
<code class="idl">e1</code> exclusion needs to be resolved. Again, resolving the exclusion's
position and size may require processing the containing block (d1 here).
It is the case here because the size and position of
<code class="idl">e1</code> depend on resolving the percentage lengths. The percentages are relative
to the size of
<code class="idl">d1</code>'s box. As a result, in order to resolve
a size for <code class="idl">d1</code>'s box, a first layout of <code class="idl">d1</code>
is done without any <span>wrapping context</span> (i.e., no exclusions applied). The layout yields a
position and size for <code class="idl">e1</code>'s box.
</p>
<p>At this point, RWC-2 is resolved because the position and size of both
e1 and e2 are resolved.</p>
<p class="note">The important aspect of the above processing example is that once an element's <span>wrapping context</span>
is resolved (by resolving its exclusions' position and size), the position and size of the
exclusions are not re-processed if the element's size changes between the layout that may be done
without considering any <span>wrapping context</span> (as for RWC-2) and the layout done with the resolved <span>wrapping context</span>.
This is what breaks the possible circular dependency between the resolution of <span>wrapping context</span>s
and the layout of containing blocks.</p>
<h3 id="floats-and-exclusions">Floats and exclusions</h3>
<h4 id="floats-and-exclusions-similarities">Similarities</h4>
<p>There are similarities between floats and exclusions in that inline content wraps around floats
and also wraps around <span>exclusion areas</span>. However, there are very significant differences.</p>
<h4 id="floats-and-exclusions-differences">Differences</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>scope</strong>. While floats apply to content that follows in the
document, exclusions apply to content in their containing block.</li>
<li><strong>positioning</strong>. Floats are part of the inline flow and 'float' on the
line box. Authors can control how the floats move on the line box, to the right or to the
left. By contrast, exclusions can be positioned using any positioning scheme such
as grid layout ([[CSS3-GRID-LAYOUT]]), flexible box ([[CSS3-FLEXBOX]]) or any other
CSS positioning scheme.</li>
<li><strong>separation of concerns</strong>. Making an element a float determines both
its positioning scheme and its effect on inline content. Making an element an
exclusion only determines its impact on inline content and does not impose constraints
on its positioning method.</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="floats-and-exclusions-interoperability">Interoperability</h4>
<h5 id="effect-of-floats-on-exclusions">Effect of floats on exclusions</h5>
<p>Floats have an effect on the positioning of exclusions and the layout of their inline content. For
example, if an exclusion is an inline-box which happens to be on the same line as a float,
its' position, as computed in <a href="#step-2-A-resolve-exclusions-position-and-size">Step 2-A</a> will be impacted by the float, as
is any other inline content.</p>
<h5 id="effect-of-exclusions-on-floats">Effect of exclusions on floats</h5>
<p>Exclusions have an effect on the positioning of floats as they have an effect on inline content.
Therefore, in <a href="#step-2-B-layout-containing-block-applying-wrapping">Step 2-B</a>, floats will avoid <span>exclusion areas</span>.</p>
