The CSS Working Group just discussed ``[css-multicol-2] Should `column-wrap:wrap` alone establish a multicol container? What about `column-height`?``, and agreed to the following: * `RESOLVED: column-height other than initial value turns on a multicol container` <details><summary>The full IRC log of that discussion</summary> <kbabbitt> rachelandrew: second multcol issue<br> <kbabbitt> ... falls out of what we were discussion<br> <kbabbitt> ... at the moment only thing that establishes a multicol container is non auto value for column widht or count<br> <kbabbitt> ... should column-height trigger multicol?<br> <florian> q+<br> <kbabbitt> ...likewise for column-wrap on its own<br> <kbabbitt> ... leaning to column-height should, column-wrap shouldn't<br> <kbabbitt> florian: agree<br> <kbabbitt> ... column-height would be nice if it triggered the thing<br> <astearns> ack florian<br> <kizu> q+<br> <kbabbitt> ... could just set column height and nothing else<br> <kbabbitt> .. have pagination which is convenient<br> <kbabbitt> ... for column-wrap. suspect not but don't feel strongly<br> <kbabbitt> ... could also see diff designs for column wrap we haven't discussed<br> <kbabbitt> .. right now not inherited, could be inherited<br> <kbabbitt> ... in that case it probably should not turn things into multicol<br> <kbabbitt> rachelandrew: might be worth me going through possible combinations of what column-wrap might cause if it were to turn it on<br> <kbabbitt> .. I think column-height certainly is an obviouse use case<br> <kbabbitt> florian: also column-wrap alone doesn't constrain in height or width<br> <kbabbitt> ... would get an inline formatting context and that's it<br> <kbabbitt> ... not super useful<br> <kizu> - `columns: 2; height: 100px` → overflow in inline direction<br> <kizu> - `columns: 2; column-height: 100px` → overflow in block direction<br> <kizu> - `columns: 2; height: 100px; column-wrap: wrap` → overflow in block direction<br> <kizu> - `columns: 2; column-height: 100px; column-wrap: nowrap` -> overflow in inline direction<br> <astearns> ack kizu<br> <kbabbitt> kizu: posted how I think it could work<br> <kbabbitt> ... if we also make column-wrap turn this on<br> <kbabbitt> ... we could just have column swith fixed height by default<br> <kbabbitt> .. right now columns overflow in inline direction only<br> <kbabbitt> .. could make column-wrap do this in regular direction<br> <kbabbitt> ... could work the same with columns and without columns<br> <kbabbitt> astearns: in all of your examples in IRC there are multiple ??<br> <kbabbitt> kizu: could work the same<br> <astearns> s/??/triggers/<br> <kbabbitt> .. could enable them just overflow in block direction<br> <kbabbitt> astearns: first resolution is that column-height other than initial value turns on a multicol container<br> <bkardell> sgtm<br> <kbabbitt> astearns: objections?<br> <kbabbitt> RESOLVED: column-height other than initial value turns on a multicol container<br> <kbabbitt> astearns: should we leave column-wrap alone for now?<br> <kbabbitt> rachelandrew: probably reasonable given we have queries about that<br> <kbabbitt> ... will raise separate issue for that<br> <kbabbitt> astearns: would have to be if column-wrap is anythong other than auto or no-wrap<br> <bkardell> s/anythong/anything<br> <kbabbitt> ... can leave to another time<br> <kbabbitt> florian: suspect we want to not do it but can take extra time to think about it<br> </details> -- GitHub Notification of comment by css-meeting-bot Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/11975#issuecomment-2773459739 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
