Multiple-column layout, rows, rules, and floats

Read Original

This article discusses recent Chrome implementations of CSS multiple-column layout enhancements, including the concept of rows (column-wrap) and gap decorations for rows and columns in grid, flexbox, and multicol. It explains how these features improve reading flow by avoiding tall columns and allowing rules between rows. The author also explores limitations, such as the lack of a ::row pseudo-element for scroll snapping and the inability to control float positions within columns, and suggests future possibilities for more print-like web layouts.
