Toot

Written by Rachel Andrew on 2024-12-31 at 13:37

Because I totally know how to be OOO, I've written up a proposal for block direction multicol overflow (so you can set a height on your columns and them wrap to create a new row rather than overflowing inline).

You can comment on that here https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/2923#issuecomment-2566448417

@rachelandrew Thank you! :blobcatheart: I spent many hours trying to come up with a good workaround for this, using spanners, container queries, scroll-driven animations, etc., and could not get to anything decent. Having this natively will really unlock multicol for the web, as it will allow us to use it in a nicely responsive way.

Things like having all content be in multicol with the block-size of ~100vh, thus making sure that you never have to scroll things vertically, will be possible!

@rachelandrew * “never have to scroll things vertically” meaning up and down to access the content in another column, of course. Going just down to get the next “page spread” will be necessary for sure.
