In the course of layout,
119
119
<a>boxes</a> and <a>text runs</a> can be broken into multiple <a>fragments</a>.

This happens, for example, when an inline box and/or text run is broken across lines,
121
-
or when a block box is broken across pages or columns.

This happens, for example, when an <a>inline box</a> and/or <a>text run</a>
121

is broken across lines,
122

or when a <a>block box</a> is broken across pages or columns,
123
+
in a process called <a>fragmentation</a>.
124

It can also happen due to bidi reordering of text (see [[css-writing-modes-3#bidi-algo|Applying the Bidirectional Reorderign Algorithm]] in [[css-writing-modes-3#text-direction|CSS Writing Modes]])
125

or higher-level <a>display type</a> box splitting,

e.g. <a href="https://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/visuren.html#img-anon-block">block-in-inline splitting</a>

(see <a href="https://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/visuren.html#box-gen">CSS2§9.2</a>)

or <a href="https://www.w3.org/TR/css-multicol-1/#spanning-columns">column-spanner-in-block</a> splitting (see <a href="https://www.w3.org/TR/css-multicol-1/#spanning-columns">CSS Multi-column Layout</a>).

A <a>box</a> therefore consists of one or more <a>box fragments</a>,
123
130
and a <a>text run</a> consists of one or more <a lt=fragment>text fragments</a>.
