- Description:
- It could, under certain conditions, be possible to support complex shapes for slots, by creating multiple simple slots and describing in which order they are filled, e.g.:
display:
"a . b"
". . ."
"c . d";
chains: a b c d;
This would create one chain, consisting of the four simple slots in the given order.
However, if the slots of a chain have a size that depends on their content, determining that size becomes an optimization problem, which might require multiple passes. (It's not a problem if all slots have an "outside-in" size, or if only the last slot in a chain has a size that depends on its content. Or at least it's not a new problem: The algorithm in that case is the same as for pagination.) - Related Actions Items:
