Do you want to know how the CSS WG works? Fantasai has written about:csswg, An Inside View of the CSS Working Group at W3C.
About a fortnight ago, the CSS WG published an updated Working Draft of the CSS Display Level 3. This module describes how the CSS formatting box tree is generated from the document element tree and defines properties (like the display
property) that control the types of boxes thus generated.
Significant changes since CSS2.1 include:
display
into display-inside
and display-outside
to independently control the layout mode inside the box and its role in the parent formatting context, respectively.
display: run-in
, but with more reasonable behavior than was in CSS2.1 before it was dropped.
display: contents
value that eliminates the element’s own box and brings its children up to act as children of its parent box.
Significant changes since the previous draft are listed in the Changes section.
We have a couple of key issues open that we would particularly like feedback on:
display: contents
and counter numbering: specifically, comments from implementers about the implementability of various options, and comments from authors about how they’d expect the numbering to behave.
speak
property) from CSS Speech. (Likely we’ll make speak: auto
depend on the value of box-suppress
, but we’re open to other considerations.)
Our plan going forward is to resolve all the open issues (obviously), defer the longhands of display
to another level[1], and hopefully transition to CR in the next six months.
As always, please send feedback to the (archived) public mailing list www-style@w3.org with the spec code ([css-display]
