From 0876b9af0906f81c97af13b282f000fac61d74ff Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Florian Rivoal Date: Fri, 7 Jul 2017 18:03:08 +0900 Subject: [PATCH] [css-multicol] Revert part of a change about formatting contexts Stating that the element establishes a new formatting context, without saying what kind of formatting context it needs to establish is not specific enough. Also, saying that it must establish a "new" formatting context is ambiguous or misleading for elements that would establish one anyway. The current definition of "becomes a formatting context" is problematic (see https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/1457), so we need to fix it, but it is precisely aimed at solving this: defining what kind of formatting context to establish for the boxes that wouldn't otherwise, and being clear about which boxes are fine as is and don't need to be changed. --- css-multicol/Overview.bs | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/css-multicol/Overview.bs b/css-multicol/Overview.bs index 1ab18299390..501bdb192ee 100644 --- a/css-multicol/Overview.bs +++ b/css-multicol/Overview.bs @@ -952,7 +952,7 @@ Spanning columns Content in the normal flow that appears before the element is automatically balanced across all columns before the element appears. - The element establishes a new formatting context. + The element becomes a formatting context.
