- RESOLVED: New syntax is image-resolution: normal | [ <dpi> || auto ]
RATIONALE: Removes unused combinations and unnecessary comma
- RESOLVED: Replace image-resolution: auto; with image-resolution: from-image;
RATIONALE: &lsquo;<code class=property>auto</code>&rsquo; vs. &lsquo;<code class=property>normal</code>&rsquo; is hard to understand. (&lsquo;<code class=property>normal</code>&rsquo; is 1 pixel == 1px)
- Discussed removing &lsquo;<code class=property>background-image-resolution</code>&rsquo; in favor of various options.
So far idea is that &lsquo;<code class=property>image-resolution</code>&rsquo; applies to all images and we will
introduce functional notation in the future to allow setting resolution on a
per-image basis.

align lines: what did michael suggest?
Another approach would be to extend the height of the block to be a
multiple of the grid height, but then people would probably want to
control where the extra space gets added.

<h2 class="no-num no-toc" id=abstract>Abstract</h2>
<p>This module describes features often used in printed publications. Most
of the specified functionality involves some sort of generated content
where content from the document is adorned, replicated, or moved in the
final presentation of the document. Along with two other CSS3 modules
&ndash; multi-column layout and paged media &ndash; this module offers
advanced functionality for presenting structured documents on paged media.
This specification only applies to the &lsquo;<code
class=property>print</code>&rsquo; media type.
<h2 class="no-num no-toc" id=status-of-this-document>Status of this

<p>This functionality described in this WD is scaled down compared to
earlier versions. The remaining functionality is considered to be useful,
to fit well into the CSS framework, and to be within reach of
implementations. Indeed, significant parts of the draft has already been
implemented.

<h2 id=introduction><span class=secno>1. </span>Introduction</h2>
<p>(This section is not normative.)
<p>This specification describes features often used in printed
publications. Some of the proposed functionality (e.g., hyphenation, the
new list style types, and border segments) may also used with other media
types. However, this specification is only concerned with the &lsquo;<code
class=property>print</code>&rsquo; media type.
<h2 id=running-headers-and-footers><span class=secno>2. </span>Running
headers and footers</h2>
<p>To aid navigation in printed material, headers and footers are often
printed in the page margins. <a href="#CSS3PAGE"
rel=biblioentry>[CSS3PAGE]<!--{{CSS3PAGE}}--></a> describes how to place
headers and footers on a page, but not how to fetch headers and footers
from elements in the document. This specification offers two ways to
achieve this. The first mechanism is <dfn id=named-strings0>named
strings</dfn> which <em>copies</em> the text (without style, structure, or
replaced content) from one element for later reuse in margin boxes. The
second mechanism is <dfn id=running-elements0>running elements</dfn> which
<em>moves</em> elements (with style, structure, and replaced content) into
a margin box.
<h3 id=named-strings><span class=secno>2.1. </span>Named strings</h3>
<!--
<p>Named strings are discussed both in the CSS3 Generated and Replaced
Content (section 9) and in CSS3 Paged Media (several places). For a
proposed definition of the property, one has to go back to the <a href="http://www.w3.org/1999/06/WD-css3-page-19990623">CSS3 draft from 1999</a>
1999:
-->
<p>Named strings can be thought of as variables that can hold one string of
text each. Named strings are created with the &lsquo;<a
href="#string-set"><code class=property>string-set</code></a>&rsquo;
property which copies a string of text into the named string. Only text is
copied; not style, structure, or replaced content.
<div class=example>
<p>Consider this code:
<pre>
h1 { string-set: title content() }
</pre>
<p>Whenever an <code>h1</code> element is encountered, its textual content
is copied into a named string called <em>title</em>. Its content can be
retrieved in the &lsquo;<code class=property>content</code>&rsquo;
property:
<pre>
@page :right { @top-right { content: string(title) }}
</pre>
</div>
<h4 id=setting-named-strings-the-string-set-pro><span class=secno>2.1.1.
</span>Setting named strings: the &lsquo;<a href="#string-set"><code
class=property>string-set</code></a>&rsquo; property</h4>
<table class=propdef>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td><em>Name:</em>
<td><dfn id=string-set>string-set</dfn>
<tr>
<td><em>Value:</em>
<td>[[ &lt;identifier> &lt;content-list>] [, &lt;identifier>
&lt;content-list>]* ] | none
<tr>
<td><em>Initial:</em>
<td>none
<tr>
<td><em>Applies to:</em>
<td>all elements
<tr>
<td><em>Inherited:</em>
<td>no
<tr>
<td><em>Percentages:</em>
<td>N/A
<tr>
<td><em>Media:</em>
<td>all
<tr>
<td><em>Computed&nbsp;value:</em>
<td>as specified value
</table>
<p>The &lsquo;<a href="#string-set"><code
class=property>string-set</code></a>&rsquo; property accepts a
comma-separated list of named strings. Each named string is followed by a
content list that specifies which text to copy into the named string.
Whenever an element with value of &lsquo;<a href="#string-set"><code
class=property>string-set</code></a>&rsquo; different from &lsquo;<code
class=css>none</code>&rsquo; is encountered, the named strings are
assigned their respective value.
<p>For the &lsquo;<a href="#string-set"><code
class=property>string-set</code></a>&rsquo; property, &lt;content-list>
expands to one or more of these values, in any order:
<dl>
<dt>&lt;string&gt;
<dd>a string, e.g. "foo"
<dt>&lt;counter&gt;
<dd>the counter() or counters() function, as per <a
href="http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/syndata.html#counter">CSS 2.1 section
4.3.5</a>
<dt>&lt;content&gt;
<dd>the &lsquo;<code class=css>content()</code>&rsquo; function returns
the content of elements and pseudo-elements. The functional notation
accepts an optional argument:
<dl>
<dt>&lsquo;<code class=css>content()</code>&rsquo;
<dd>Without any arguments, the function returns the textual content of
the element, not including the content of its ::before and ::after
pseudo-element. The content of the element's descendants, including
their respective ::before and ::after pseudo-elements, are included in
the returned content.
<dt>&lsquo;<code class=css>content(before)</code>&rsquo;
<dd>The function returns the textual content of the ::before
pseudo-element the content of the element.
<dt>&lsquo;<code class=css>content(after)</code>&rsquo;
<dd>The function returns the textual content of the ::after
pseudo-element the content of the element.
<dt>&lsquo;<code class=css>content(first-letter)</code>&rsquo;
<dd>The function returns the first letter of the content of the element.
The definition of a letter is the same as for :first-letter
pseudo-elements.
<p class=note>The expected use for &lsquo;<code
class=css>content(first-letter)</code>&rsquo; is to create one-letter
headers, e.g., in dictionaries.</p>
<dt>&lsquo;<code class=css>env()</code>&rsquo;
<dd>This function returns data from the local environment of the user at
the time of formatting. The function accepts one of these keywords:
<ul>
<li>env(url): returns the URL of the document
<li>env(date): returns the date on the user's system at the time of
formatting
<li>env(time): returns the time on the user's system at the time of
formatting
<li>env(date-time): returns the date and time on the user's system at
the time of formatting
</ul>
<p>Information about date and time is formatted according to the locale
of the user's system.
<p class=issue>Or, should there be a way to specify the locale? Or
should we simply format all in ISO format (e.g., 2010-03-30)?
<p class=note>On many systems, preformatted strings in the user's
locale can be found through the <a
href="http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/strftime.html">strftime</a>
function. The date, time and date-time strings can be found by using
the "%x", "%X" and "%c" conversion strings, respectively.
<div class=example>
<pre>
@page {
@top-right { content: env(url) }
@bottom-right { content: env(date-time) }
}
</pre>
</div>
</dl>
</dl>
<!--<p class="issue">Should target-counter() and leader() also be allowed?</p>-->
<p>Named strings can only hold the result of one assignment; whenever a new
assignment is made to a named string, its old value is replaced.
<p class=note>User agents, however, must be able to remember the result of
more than one assignment as the &lsquo;<code
class=css>string()</code>&rsquo; functional value (described below) can
refer to different assignments.
<p>The scope of a named string is the page of the element to which the
&lsquo;<a href="#string-set"><code
class=property>string-set</code></a>&rsquo; property is attached and
subsequent pages.
<p>The name space of named strings is different from other sets of names in
CSS.
<p>The &lsquo;<a href="#string-set"><code
class=property>string-set</code></a>&rsquo; property copies text as well
as white-space into the named string.
<div class=example>
<pre>
h2 {
string-set: header "Chapter " counter(header) ": " content();
counter-increment: header;
}
</pre>
<p>Note that the string called "header" is different from the counter with
the same name. The above code may result in <em>header</em> being set to
"Chapter 2: Europa".
</div>
<div class=example>
<p>This example results in the same value being assigned to
<em>header</em> as in the previous example. <!--note namespace-->
<pre>
h2:before { content: "Chapter " counter(header) }
h2 {
string-set: header content(before) content();
counter-increment: header }
</pre>
</div>
<div class=example>
<pre>
dt { string-set: index content(first-letter) }
</pre>
</div>
<div class=example>
<p>The content is copied regardless of other settings on the element. In
this example, H1 elements are not displayed, but their content is copied
into the named string.
<pre>
h1 {
display: none;
string-set: header content();
}
</pre>
</div>
<h4 id=using-named-strings><span class=secno>2.1.2. </span>Using named
strings</h4>
<p>The content of named strings can be recalled by using the &lsquo;<code
class=css>string()</code>&rsquo; value on the &lsquo;<code
class=property>content</code>&rsquo; property. The &lsquo;<code
class=css>string()</code>&rsquo; value has one required argument, namely
the name of the string.
<div class=example>
<pre>
@page { @top-center { content: string(header) }}
@page { @right-middle { content: string(index) }}
@page { @top-left { content: string(entry) }}
h1 { string-set: header "Chapter " counter(chapter) content() }
dt { string-set: index content(first-letter), entry content() }
</pre>
</div>
<p>If the value of the named string is changed by an element on a certain
page, the named string may have several values on that page. In order to
specify which of these values should be used, an optional argument is
accepted on the &lsquo;<code class=css>string()</code>&rsquo; value. This
argument can have one of four keywords:
<ul>
<li>&lsquo;<code class=css>start</code>&rsquo;: the named string's entry
value for that page is used.
<li>&lsquo;<code class=css>first</code>&rsquo;: the value of the first
assignment is used. If there is no assignment on the page, the start
value is used. &lsquo;<code class=css>first</code>&rsquo; is the default
value.
<li>&lsquo;<code class=css>last</code>&rsquo;: the named string's exit
value for that page is used
<li>&lsquo;<code class=css>first-except</code>&rsquo;: similar to
&lsquo;<code class=css>first</code>&rsquo;, except on the page where the
value was assigned. On that page, the empty string is used.
</ul>
<div class=example>
<p>In this example, the first term on the page will be shown in the top
left corner and the last term on the page will be shown in the top right
corner. In top center of the page, the first letter of first term will be
shown.
<pre>
@page { @top-left { content: string(term, first) }}
@page { @top-right { content: string(term, last) }}
@page { @top-center { content: string(index, first) }}
dt { string-set: index content(first-letter), term content() }
</pre>
</div>
<div class=example>
<p>In this example, the header in the top center will be blank on pages
where &lsquo;<code class=css>h1</code>&rsquo; elements appear. On other
pages, the string of the previous &lsquo;<code class=css>h1</code>&rsquo;
element will be shown.
<pre>
@page { @top-center { content: string(chapter, first-except) }}
h1 { string-set: chapter content() }
</pre>
</div>
<p>If the named string referred to in a &lsquo;<code
class=css>string()</code>&rsquo; value has not been assigned a value, the
empty string is used.
<h3 id=running-elements><span class=secno>2.2. </span>Running elements</h3>
<p>Named strings, as described above, can only hold textual content; any
style, structure or replaced content associated with the element is
ignored. To overcome this limitation, a way of moving elements into
running headers and footers is introduced.
<p>Elements that are moved into headers and footers are repeated on several
pages; they are said to be <a href="#running-elements0"><em>running
elements</em></a>. To support running elements, a new value &ndash;
running() &ndash; is introduced on the &lsquo;<code
class=property>position</code>&rsquo; property. It has one required
argument: the name by which the running element can be referred to. A
running element is not shown in its natural place; there it is treated as
if &lsquo;<code class=css>display: none</code>&rsquo; had been set.
Instead, the running element may be displayed in a margin box.
<p>Like counters and named strings, the name of a running element is chosen
by the style sheet author, and the names have a separate name space. A
running element can hold one element, including its pseudo-elements and
its descendants. Whenever a new element is assigned to a running element,
the old element is lost.
<p class=note>User agents, however, must be able to remember the result of
more than one assignment as the &lsquo;<code
class=css>element()</code>&rsquo; value (described below) can refer to
different assignments.
<p>Running elements inherit through their normal place in the structure of
the document.
<div class=example>
<pre>
title { position: running(header) }
@page { @top-center {
content: element(header) }
}
</pre>
</div>
<p>Like the &lsquo;<code class=css>string()</code>&rsquo; value, the
&lsquo;<code class=css>element()</code>&rsquo; value accepts an optional
second argument:
<dl>
<dt>&lsquo;<code class=css>start</code>&rsquo;
<dt>&lsquo;<code class=css>first</code>&rsquo;
<dt>&lsquo;<code class=css>last</code>&rsquo;
<dt>&lsquo;<code class=css>first-except</code>&rsquo;
</dl>
<p>The keywords have the same meaning as for the &lsquo;<code
class=css>string()</code>&rsquo; value.
<p>The &lsquo;<code class=css>element()</code>&rsquo; value cannot be
combined with any other values.
<div class=example>
<p>In this example, the header is hidden from view in all media types
except print. On printed pages, the header is displayed top center on all
pages, except where h1 elements appear.
<pre>
&lt;style>
div.header { display: none }
@media print {
div.header {
display: block;
position: running(header);
}
@page { @top-center { content: element(header, first-except) }}
&lt;/style>
...
&lt;div class="header">Introduction&lt;/div>
&lt;h1 class="chapter">An introduction&lt;/div>
</pre>
</div>
<div class=example>
<p>This code illustrates how to change the running header on one page in
the middle of a run of pages:
<pre>
...
&lt;style>
@page { @top-center {
content: element(header, first) }}
.header { position: running(header) }
.once { font-weight: bold }
&lt;/style>
...
&lt;div class="header">Not now&lt;/div>
&lt;p>Da di ha di da di ...
&lt;span class="header once">NOW!&lt;/span>
&lt;span class="header">Not now&lt;/span>
... da di ha di hum.&lt;/p>
...
</pre>
The header is "Not now" from the outset, due to the "div" element. The
first "span" element changes it to "<b>NOW!</b>" on the page where the
"span" element would have appeared. The second "span" element, which would
have appeared on the same page as the first is not used because the
&lsquo;<code class=css>first</code>&rsquo; keyword has been specified.
However, the second "span" element still sets the exit value for "header"
and this value is used on subsequent pages.</div>
<h2 id=leaders><span class=secno>3. </span>Leaders</h2>
<p>A leader is a visual pattern that guides the eye. Typically, leaders are
used to visually connect an entry in a list with a corresponding code. For
example, there are often leaders between titles and page numbers in a
table of contents (TOC). Another example is the phone book where there are
leaders between a name and a telephone number.
<p>In CSS3, a leader is composed of series of glyphs through the
&lsquo;<code class=css>leader()</code>&rsquo; value on the &lsquo;<code
class=property>content</code>&rsquo; property. The functional notation
accepts one value which describes the glyph pattern that make up the
leader. These values are allowed:
<ul>
<li>leader(dotted)
<li>leader(solid)
<li>leader(space)
<li>leader(&lt;string&gt;)
</ul>
<p>Using the keyword values is equivalent to setting a string value. The
table below shows the equivalents:
<table class=border>
<tbody>
<tr>
<th>Keyword
<th>String
<th>Unicode characters
<tr>
<td>leader(dotted)
<td>leader(&lsquo;<code class=css>. </code>&rsquo;)
<td>\002E \0020
<tr>
<td>leader(solid)
<td>leader(&lsquo;<code class=css>_</code>&rsquo;)
<td>\005F
<tr>
<td>leader(space)
<td>leader(&lsquo;<code class=css> </code>&rsquo;)
<td>\0020
</table>
<!--
<p class="issue">Some fonts may not have suitable glyphs for all
patterns. For example, in some Eastern languages, the alignment of the
shape within the glyph may not be optimal for creating leaders.
-->
<!--<p class="issue">Are the keywords really necessary?</p>-->
<p>The string inside the parenthesis is called the <em>leader string</em>.
<p>In its simplest form, the &lsquo;<code
class=property>content</code>&rsquo; property only takes one &lsquo;<code
class=css>leader()</code>&rsquo; value:
<div class=example>
<pre>
heading::after { content: leader(dotted) }
</pre>
</div>
<p>The leader string must be shown in full at least once and this
establishes the minimum length of the leader. To fill the available space,
the leader string is repeated as many times as possible in the writing
direction. At the end of the leader, a partial string pattern may be
shown. White space in leaders is collapsed according to the values on
white-space properties.
<!-- <span class="issue">Or, partial strings be avoided?</span> -->
<!--<p class="issue">Should other properties influence the appearance of leaders?-->
<p>These properties influence the appearance of leaders: all font
properties, text properties, &lsquo;<code
class=property>letter-spacing</code>&rsquo;, white-space properties,
background properties, and &lsquo;<code
class=property>color</code>&rsquo;.
<p>User Agents should attempt to align corresponding glyphs from the leader
pattern between consecutive lines.
<p>In a more complex example, the &lsquo;<code
class=property>leader</code>&rsquo; value is combined with other values on
the &lsquo;<code class=property>content</code>&rsquo; property:
<div class=example>
<pre>
ul.toc a::after {
content: leader(". . . ") target-counter(attr(href, url), page);
}
</pre>
</div>
<p>If the content connected by a leader end up on different lines, the
leader will be present on all lines. Each leader fragment honors the
minimum length of the leader.
<div class=example>
<p>Consider this code:
<pre>
&lt;style>
.name::after { content: leader(dotted) }
&lt;/style>
&lt;div class="entry">
&lt;span class="name">John Doe&lt;/span>
&lt;span class="number">123456789&lt;/span>
&lt;/div>
</pre>
<p>If the name and number end up on different lines (e.g., in a narrow
column), it may be formatted like this:
<pre>
John Doe....
...123456789
</pre>
</div>
<p>To determine the length of the leaders, user agents must do the
following for each line:
<ol>
<li>Lay out the content with leaders of minimum lengths
<li>Determine the empty space left on the line.
<li>Distribute the empty space between the leaders on the line. Glyphs
must not be shown partially. All leaders on the line should, to the
extent possible, have the same length. This may not always be possible as
the minimum leader length must be honored.
<li>Fill the empty space with the specified leader pattern.
</ol>
<div class=example>
<p>Consider this code:
<pre>
&lt;style>
cite::before { content: leader(' ') }
&lt;/style>
&lt;blockquote>
Bla great bla bla world bla bla
empire bla bla color bla bla
history bla bla forever.
&lt;cite>John Johnson&lt;/cite>
&lt;/blockquote>
</pre>
<p>Depending on the width of the containing block, this may be rendered
as:
<pre>
Bla great bla bla world bla bla
empire bla bla color bla bla
history bla bla forever. John
Johnson
</pre>
<p>However, this rendering is preferable:
<pre>
Bla great bla bla world bla bla
empire bla bla color bla bla
history bla bla forever.
John Johnson
</pre>
<p>To indicate that <q>John Johnson</q> should be kept on one line, this
rule can be added to the style sheet:
<pre>
cite { text-wrap: suppress }
</pre>
<p>Until &lsquo;<code class=property>text-wrap</code>&rsquo; is widely
supported, this rule can also be used:
<pre>
cite { white-space: nowrap }
</pre>
<p>If the containing element is wider, this may be the resultant
presentation:
<pre>
Bla great bla bla world bla bla empire
bla bla color bla bla history bla bla
forever. John Johnson
</pre>
</div>
<h2 id=cross-references><span class=secno>4. </span>Cross-references</h2>
<p>It is common to refer to other parts of a document by way of a section
number (e.g., "See section 3.4.1"), a page number (e.g., "See discussion
on page 72"), or a string (e.g., "See the chapter on Europe"). Being able
to resolve these cross-references automatically saves time and reduces the
number of errors.
<h3 id=the-target-counter-and-target-counters-v><span class=secno>4.1.
</span>The &lsquo;<code class=css>target-counter</code>&rsquo; and
&lsquo;<code class=css>target-counters</code>&rsquo; values</h3>
<p>Numerical cross-references are generated by &lsquo;<code
class=css>target-counter()</code>&rsquo; and &lsquo;<code
class=css>target-counters()</code>&rsquo; values that fetch the value of a
counter at the target end of the link. These functions are similar to the
&lsquo;<code class=css>counter()</code>&rsquo; and &lsquo;<code
class=css>counters()</code>&rsquo; functions, except that they fetch
counter values from remote elements. &lsquo;<code
class=css>target-counter()</code>&rsquo; has two required arguments: the
url of the link, and the name of a counter. &lsquo;<code
class=css>target-counters()</code>&rsquo; has three required arguments:
the url of the link, the name of a counter, and a separator string. Both
functions accepts an optional argument at the end that describes which
list style type to use when presenting the resulting number; &lsquo;<code
class=css>decimal</code>&rsquo; being the default.
<div class=example>
<p>This style sheet specifies that a string like " (see page 72)" is added
after a link:
<pre>
a::after { content: "(see page " target-counter(attr(href, url), page, decimal) ")" }
</pre>
</div>
<div class=example>
<p>This style sheet specifies that a string like " (see section 1.3.5)" is
added after a link:

a::after { content: "(see section " target-counters(attr(href, url), section, ".", decimal) ")" }
</pre>
</div>
<h3 id=the-target-text-value><span class=secno>4.2. </span>The &lsquo;<code
class=css>target-text</code>&rsquo; value</h3>
<p>Textual cross-references are generated by &lsquo;<code
class=css>target-text()</code>&rsquo; which fetches the textual content
from the target end of the link. Only text is copied; not style,
structure, or replaced content. &lsquo;<code
class=css>target-text()</code>&rsquo; has one required argument: the url
of the link. An optional second argument specifies exactly which content
is fetched. There are four possible values:
<dl>
<dt>&lsquo;<code class=css>content()</code>&rsquo;
<dd>refers to the textual content of the element, not including the
content of its ::before and ::after pseudo-element. The content of the
element's descendants, including their respective ::before and ::after
pseudo-elements, are included in the returned content.
<dt>&lsquo;<code class=css>content(before)</code>&rsquo;
<dd>refers to the content of the element's ::before pseudo-element. This
is the default value.
<dt>&lsquo;<code class=css>content(after)</code>&rsquo;
<dd>refers to the content of the element's ::after pseudo-element
<dt>&lsquo;<code class=css>content(first-letter)</code>&rsquo;
<dd>refers to the first letter of the textual content of the element, not
including the content of its ::before and ::after pseudo-element.
</dl>
<div class=example>
<p>To generate this text
<blockquote>
<p>See Chapter 3 ("A better way") on page 31 for an in-depth evaluation.
</blockquote>
from this markup:
<pre>
&lt;p>See &lt;a href="#chx">this chapter&lt;/a> for an in-depth evaluation.
...
&lt;h2 id="chx">A better way&lt;/h2>
</pre>
this CSS code can be used:
<pre>
h2 { counter-increment: chapter }
a { content: "Chapter " target-counter(attr(href, url), chapter)
' ("' target-text(attr(href), content()) '") on page '
target-counter(attr(href, url), page);

<h2 id=footnotes><span class=secno>5. </span>Footnotes</h2>
<p>A footnote is a note typically placed at the bottom of a page that
comments on or cites a reference. References to footnotes are marked with
a <em>note-call</em> in the main text. The rendering of footnotes is
complex. As far as possible, footnotes try to reuse other parts of CSS.
However, due to the typographic traditions of footnotes, some new
functionality is required to support footnotes in CSS:
<p>In order to support footnotes in CSS, the following functionality is
added:
<ul>
<li>one new value on the &lsquo;<code class=property>float</code>&rsquo;
property: &lsquo;<code class=css>footnote</code>&rsquo;
<li>one new page area: &lsquo;<code class=css>@footnote</code>&rsquo;
<li>two new pseudo-elements: &lsquo;<code
class=css>::footnote-call</code>&rsquo; and &lsquo;<code
class=css>::footnote-marker</code>&rsquo;
<li>one predefined counter: &lsquo;<code class=css>footnote</code>&rsquo;
<li>one new value on the &lsquo;<code class=property>content</code>&rsquo;
property: &lsquo;<code class=css>target-pull()</code>&rsquo;
<li>border segments
<li>two new &lsquo;<code class=property>list-style-type</code>&rsquo;
values: &lsquo;<code class=css>super-decimal</code>&rsquo;, and
symbol(...)
</ul>
<div class=example>
<p>In its simplest form, making a footnote is simple.
<pre>
&lt;style>
.footnote { float: footnote }
&lt;/style>
&lt;p>A sentence consists of words. &lt;span class="footnote">Most often.&lt;/span>.
</pre>
<p>In this example, the text <q>Most often.</q> will be placed in a
footnote. A note-call will be left behind in the main text and a
corresponding marker will be shown next to the footnote. Here is one
possible rendering:
<pre>
A sentence consists of words. &#xB9;
&#xB9; Most often.
</pre>
</div>
<div class=example>
<p>To support legacy browsers, it is often better to make a link to the
note rather than including the text inline. This example shows how to
fetch the content of a note and place it in a footnote.
<pre>
&lt;style>
@media print {
.footnote {
float: footnote;
content: target-pull(attr(href, url)) }
.call { display: none }
}
&lt;/style>
...
&lt;p>A sentence consists of words&lt;a class="footnote" href="#words"> [3]&lt;/a>.
...
&lt;p id=words>&lt;span class="call">[3]&lt;/span> Most often.
</pre>
<p>When shown in a legacy browser, the content of the element will be
shown as a clickable link to an endnote. When printed according to this
specification, there will be a footnote:
<pre>
A sentence consists of words&#xB9;.
&#xB9; Most often.
</pre>
</div>
<div class=example> Consider this markup:
<pre>
&lt;p>Sorry, &lt;span title="This is, of course, a lie.">we're closing for lunch&lt;/span>.
</pre>
<p>The content of the "title" attribute can be turned into a footnote with
this code:
<pre>
span[title]::after {
content: attr(title);
float: footnote;
}
</pre>
</div>
<h3 id=turning-elements-into-footnotes><span class=secno>5.1.
</span>Turning elements into footnotes</h3>
<p>An element with &lsquo;<code class=css>float: footnote</code>&rsquo;
(called a <em>footnote element</em>) is moved to the <em>footnote
area</em> and a <em>footnote-call</em> pseudo-element is put in its
original place.
<div class=example>
<pre>
span.footnote {
float: footnote;
}
</pre>
</div>
<p>Footnote elements are presented inside the <em>footnote area</em>, but
they inherit through their normal place in the structure of the document.
<p>The &lsquo;<code class=property>display</code>&rsquo; property on
footnote elements is ignored. Instead, the value of the &lsquo;<code
class=property>display</code>&rsquo; property in the @footnote context
determines if footnotes are block or inline elements.
<div class=example>
<p>In this example, the footnotes are displayed inline:
<pre>
@footnote {
display: inline;
}
span.footnote {
float: footnote;
}
</pre>
<p>Here is one possible presentation of inline footnotes:
<pre>
&#xB9; The first footnote. &#xBA; The second footnote.
</pre>
</div>
<!--
<p class=issue>Another way to achieve this would be to introduce different keywords for inline and block footnotes (e.g., float: footnote-inline, float: footnote-block).
-->
<p>For each new footnote element, the &lsquo;<code
class=css>footnote</code>&rsquo; counter is automatically incremented.
<h3 id=the-footnote-area><span class=secno>5.2. </span>The footnote area</h3>
<p>All elements with &lsquo;<code class=css>float: footnote</code>&rsquo;
are moved to the <em>footnote area</em>. The footnote area is described by
an @footnote-rule inside the @page-rule. By default, the footnote area
appears at the bottom of the page, but it can be positioned in other
places.
<p class=issue>Should the footnote are be positioned using page floats or
(fixed?) absolute positioning? Or both?
<p class=issue>
<div class=example>
<pre>
@page {
@footnote {
float: bottom page;
width: 100%;
}
}
</pre>
</div>
<div class=example>
<p>These rules place the footnote area in the bottom left corner of the
page:
<pre>
@page {
@footnote {
position: fixed;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
width: 5em;
}
}
</pre>
</div>
<p>Inside @footnote, the &lsquo;<code class=property>gr</code>&rsquo; unit
is based on the oldest multicol element in the document.
<div class="example issue">
<p>This code places the footnote area at the bottom of the right column:
<pre>
@page {
@footnote {
float: bottom right multicol;
width: 1gr;
}
}
</pre>
</div>
<!--
<p class=issue>How should one indicate that the footnote area should
span columns? Typically, footnotes are put inside columns rather than
spanning the full width, but there could be exceptions.
-->
<p>The content of the footnote area is considered to come before other
content which may compete for the same space on the same page.
<div class=example>
<pre>
@page { @footnote { float: bottom page}}
div.figure { float: bottom page }
</pre>
<p>If figures and footnotes are on the same page, the footnotes will
appear below the figures as they are floated to the bottom before the
figures.
</div>
<p>Potentially, every page has a footnote area. If there are no footnotes
on the page, the footnote area will not take up any space. If there are
footnotes on a page, the layout of the footnote area will be determined by
the properties/values set on it, and by the footnote elements elements
inside it.
<p>These properties apply to the footnote area: &lsquo;<code
class=property>content</code>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<code
class=property>border</code>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<code
class=property>padding</code>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<code
class=property>margin</code>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<code
class=property>height</code>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<code
class=property>width</code>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<code
class=property>max-height</code>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<code
class=property>max-width</code>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<code
class=property>min-height</code>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<code
class=property>min-width</code>&rsquo;, the background properties. <!--
<p class="note">In published books, it is customary for the footnote
area to be limited to less than half the height of the page area. Long
footnotes may need more space, and the customary solution is for
footnotes to span several pages. To achieve this, the &lsquo;<code class=property>max-height</code>&rsquo;
property should be used. However, footnotes spanning several pages is
an advanced feature which is not a conformance requirement for this
specification.
-->
<div class=example>
<p>This example uses some of the applicable properties on @footnote:
<pre>
@footnote {
margin-top: 0.5em;
border-top: thin solid black;
border-clip: 4em;
padding-top: 0.5em;
}
</pre>
<p>The result of this code is a footnote area separated from other content
above it by margin, border and padding. Only 4em of the border is visible
due to the &lsquo;<code class=property>border-clip</code>&rsquo;
property, which is defined in <a
href="http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css4-background/">CSS Backgrounds and
Borders Module Level 4</a> <a href="#CSS4BACKGROUND"
rel=biblioentry>[CSS4BACKGROUND]<!--{{!CSS4BACKGROUND}}--></a>.
</div>
<!--
<p class="issue">Footnotes in tables and floats may be problematic. In
some cases, the author may want the footnote to go at the end of the
table or float instead of the bottom of the page.
-->
<h3 id=footnote-calls><span class=secno>5.3. </span>Footnote calls</h3>
<p>When an element is moved to the footnote area, a <em>footnote-call</em>
is left behind. By default, User Agents must behave as if this code is
part of the default style sheet:
<pre>
::footnote-call {
content: counter(footnote, super-decimal);
}
</pre>
<p>The resulting note call is a super-script decimal number.
<h3 id=footnote-markers><span class=secno>5.4. </span>Footnote markers</h3>
<p>A ::footnote-marker pseudo-element is added to each footnote element, in
the same place, and replacing, the ::before pseudo-element. User agents
must, by default, show the "footnote" counter in the footnote-marker.
<div class=example>
<p>User Agents may display footnote-calls and footnote-markers this way by
default:
<pre>
::footnote-call {
content: counter(footnote, super-decimal);
}
::footnote-marker {
content: counter(footnote, super-decimal);
}
</pre>
</div>
<p>Marker elements are discussed in more detail in the CSS Lists module <a
href="#CSS3LIST" rel=biblioentry>[CSS3LIST]<!--{{!CSS3LIST}}--></a>. One
suggested change to that module is to honor the value of &lsquo;<code
class=property>list-style-position</code>&rsquo; on the ::footnote-marker
pseudo-element itself rather than the corresponding list-item element.
Further, one clarification to the horizontal placement of the marker is
suggested: the <em>margin</em> box of the marker box is horizontally
aligned with the start of the line box.
<h3 id=counting-footnotes><span class=secno>5.5. </span>Counting footnotes</h3>
<p>The "footnote" counter is automatically incremented each time a footnote
is generated. That is, the "footnote" counter is incremented by one each
time an element with &lsquo;<code class=css>float: footnote</code>&rsquo;
appears.
<p>The footnote counter can be reset with the &lsquo;<code
class=property>counter-reset</code>&rsquo; property.
<div class=example> This code resets the "footnote" counter on a per-page
page basis:
<pre>
@page { counter-reset: footnote }
</pre>
</div>
<p class=issue>Should one also be able to manually increment the "footnote"
counter? <!--
<p>The &lsquo;<code class=property>counter-increment</code>&rsquo; property can be set in the @footnote rule.
Each time an element with &lsquo;<code class=css>float: footnote</code>&rsquo; is found, the corresponding
counter is incremented.
<div class="example">
<p>This rule is part of the default style sheet:
<pre>
@page {
@footnote {
counter-increment: footnote;
}
}
</pre>
As a result, the "footnote" counter is incremented each time a footnote is generated.
</div>
-->
<h3 id=laying-out-footnotes><span class=secno>5.6. </span>Laying out
footnotes</h3>
<p>Footnotes must appear as early as possible under the following
constraints:
<ol>
<li>A footnote marker may not appear on an earlier page than the footnote
call.
<li>Footnotes may not appear out of document order.
<!--<span class="issue">(What order is that: the document order or the visual order?
Probably the document order, the same order as the footnote counter
values, although the visual order of the footnote calls may be
different, due to their occurrence in positioned and floating
elements.)</span>-->
<li>The footnote area is limited in size by &lsquo;<code
class=property>max-height</code>&rsquo;, unless the page contains only
footnotes. (E.g., if at the end of the document there are still footnotes
unprinted, the User Agent can use the whole page to display footnotes.)
<li>If there is a footnote call on a page, the footnote area may not be
empty, unless its &lsquo;<code class=property>max-height</code>&rsquo; is
too small.
</ol>
<h3 id=footnote-magic><span class=secno>5.7. </span>Footnote magic</h3>
<p>When an element is turned into a footnote, certain magical things
happen. The element is moved to the footnote area, a footnote call is left
behind in its place, a footnote marker is displayed before the element,
and the footnote counter is incremented.
<p>When rendering footnotes, User Agents may apply certain heuristics to
improve the presentation. For example, the space between a footnote-call
and surrounding text may be adjusted. Another example is the height of the
footnote area; it may be heuristically constrained to limit the area that
is used for footnotes. <!--
<h2>Sidenotes</h2>
<p>Sidenotes are supported the same way as footnotes; only the name
and the settings in the default style sheet differentiates the two.
<p class=note>The motivation for having another page-based area into
which content can be floated is that footnotes and sidenotes are
often used in the same document.
<div class="example">
<p>This example moves images to the outside margin of pages:
<pre>
@page :left {
margin-left: 10em;
@sidenote { position: fixed; left: -8em; width: 6em }
}
@page :right {
margin-right: 10em;
@sidenote { position: fixed; right: -8em; width: 6em }
}
img { float: sidenote }
</pre>
</div>
<p class=note>The reason for having both a footnote and a sidenote area
on every page is that some documents use both.
<p class=issue>Should there be a mechanism to create new areas like
footnote/sidenote, or are two "magic" areas enough?

<dd>Words are only broken at line breaks where there are characters inside
the word that suggest line break opportunities. Characters can be
explicit or conditional.
<div class=example>
<p>In Unicode, U+00AD is a conditional "soft hyphen" and U+2010 is an
explicit hyphen. Unicode Standard Annex #14 describes the <a
href="http://unicode.org/reports/tr14/#SoftHyphen">role of soft hyphens
in the</a> Unicode Line breaking algorithm.

<dd>Words can be broken at appropriate hyphenation points, as determined
by characters inside the word, resources listed in &lsquo;<a

UA-dependent resources. Characters inside the word take priority over
hyphenation points determined by other resources.

external resources are available. In any case, the UA can also use local
resources not listed on this property.
<div class=example>
<p>Often, finding the right hyphenate resource is based on knowing the
language of the text. The <code>lang</code> attribute is recommended for

<div class=example>
<p>In Latin scripts, the hyphen character (U+2010) is often used to
indicate that a word has been split. Normally, it will not be necessary
to set it explicitly. However, this can easily be done:
<pre>
article { hyphenate-character: "\2010" }

<h3 id=the-super-decimal-list-style-type><span class=secno>7.1. </span>The
&lsquo;<code class=css>super-decimal</code>&rsquo; list-style-type</h3>
<p class=issue>This section will be moved to css3-lists (<a
href="http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2009Jun/0186.html">minutes</a>)
<p>A new list-style-type, &lsquo;<code
class=css>super-decimal</code>&rsquo;, is introduced to better support
footnotes. Small, super-script footnote calls are common; the first three
numbers have code points in Latin-1 and some font families have even more
super-script glyphs. The &lsquo;<code
class=css>super-decimal</code>&rsquo; keyword allow these font resources
to be used and replaces the use of &lsquo;<code
class=property>font-size</code>&rsquo; and &lsquo;<code
class=property>vertical-align</code>&rsquo; (which prohibit the use of
special-purpose glyphs).
<div class=example> This example specifies that footnote markers should
consist of super-script decimal numbers.
<pre>
::footnote-marker { content: counter(footnote, super-decimal) }
</pre>
</div>
<p>Using super-script glyphs is optional; UAs may also scale and position
other glyphs for use in footnote calls.
<h3 id=named-counter-styles><span class=secno>7.2. </span>Named counter
styles</h3>
<p>CSS defines a number of predefined list style types for the &lsquo;<code
class=property>list-style-type</code>&rsquo; property and other places
where a list-style-type value is accepted. Some styles repeat the same
glyph (e.g., &lsquo;<code class=css>disc</code>&rsquo; and &lsquo;<code
class=css>circle</code>&rsquo;) while others have lists of glyphs (e.g.,
&lsquo;<code class=css>decimal</code>&rsquo;, and &lsquo;<code
class=css>lower-roman</code>&rsquo;). To increase the range of lists that
can be achieved through CSS without adding many new keywords,
@counter-style rules are introduced. By using @counter-style, a style
sheet can name new counter styles.
<p>An @counter-style rule consists of the keyword &lsquo;<code
class=css>@counter-style</code>&rsquo;, followed by the name of the symbol
counter style, followed by a space-separated list of strings.
<div class=example>
<pre>
@counter-style daggers "*" "\2020" "\2021" "\A7" "#";
ol { list-style-type: daggers }
</pre>
</div>
<div class=example>
<pre>
@counter-style ordinal "1st" "2nd" "3rd" "4th";
h1:before { content: counter(chapter, ordinal) " chapter" }
</pre>
</div>
<p>The first string in the list represents number one, the second string
represents number two, etc. Outside the range of specified values, the
rendering will be as if the &lsquo;<code class=css>decimal</code>&rsquo;
list style type had been specified.
<div class=example>
<p>Consider this example:
<pre>
@counter-style ordinal "1st" "2nd" "3rd" "4th";
ordered-list { counter-reset: items -1 }
list-item { counter-increment: items 2 }
</pre>
<p>For a series of <tt>list-item</tt> elements inside an
<tt>ordered-list</tt> element, the value of the <tt>items</tt> counter
will be -1, 1, 3, 5, 7 etc. Given that the <tt>ordinal</tt> counter style
only defines a counter style for 1, 2, 3, and 4, the list will be
numbered "-1", "1st", "3rd", "5", "7" etc.
</div>
<p>Named counter styles can be imported through @import statements.
<div class=example>
<pre>
@import url(http://www.example.com/armenian-counters.css); /* defines 'armenian' */
ol { list-style-type: armenian }
</pre>
</div>
<!--
<div class="issue">Should we allow images in addition to strings?
<pre>
@counter-style graphic url("1.gif") url("2.gif") url("3.gif")
</pre>
</div>
-->
<h3 id=the-symbols-list-style-type><span class=secno>7.3. </span>The
&lsquo;<code class=css>symbols()</code>&rsquo; list-style-type</h3>
<p>A new list-style-type with a functional notation is introduced to avoid
the indirection of having to name counter styles. The &lsquo;<code
class=css>symbols()</code>&rsquo; value takes a comma-separated list of
strings as arguments.
<div class=example>
<pre>
::footnote-call {
content: counter(footnote, symbols('*', '+', '!'))
}
</pre>
</div>
<p>Outside the range of specified values, the rendering will be as if the
&lsquo;<code class=css>decimal</code>&rsquo; list style type had been
specified.
<div class=example> This code:
<pre>
ol { list-style: symbols("*", "\2020", "\2021", "\A7", "#") }
</pre>
will result in these list-items markers: * &#x2020; &#x2021; &#xA7; # 6 7
8 ...</div>
<!--
<p class="issue">Should there be a way to indicate the behavior if there are more items than strings? Proposals include: "alphabetic", "enumerate", "numeric", "cycle", "ideographic".

<h2>Page counters</h2>
<p>Printed publications often show page numbers to indicate the
sequence of papes. Also, it is common to show the total number of
pages in the document. For example, "page 3 of 5" may be shown at the
bottom of a page.
<p>This specifiction describes two counters that can be used to
indicate page numbers: &lsquo;<code class=css>page</code>&rsquo; and &lsquo;<code class=css>pages</code>&rsquo;.
<h3>The &lsquo;<code class=css>page</code>&rsquo; counter</h3>
<p>The &lsquo;<code class=css>page</code>&rsquo; counter is predefined to start with a value of zero,
and to be automatically incremented by one before every page. That is,
UAs must behave as if this code fragment is part of the default style
sheet:
<pre>
@page {
counter-increment: page 1;
}
</pre>
<p>The &lsquo;<code class=css>page</code>&rsquo; counter can be reset and incremented in style sheets
just like other counters. On pages where the counter is incremented by
the style sheet in the page context, the automatic incrementation does
not take place.
<div class="example">
<pre>
@page {
@bottom-center {
content: counter(page);
}
}
@page introduction {
counter-reset: page;
}
@page :right {
counter-increment: page 2;
}
</pre>
</div>
<h3>The &lsquo;<code class=css>pages</code>&rsquo; counter</h3>
<p>The &lsquo;<code class=css>pages</code>&rsquo; counter is predefined to have the total number of
pages in the document. In order to find the value of this counter, the
UA will have to paginate the document. This counter is a constant and
it cannot be set or incremented by a style sheet.
<div class=example>
<pre>
@page {
@bottom-center {
content: "Page " counter(page) " of " counter(pages) " pages in total";
}
}
</pre>
</div>
<p>UAs that are not able to paginate the document should display a
question mark or another symbol that indicates uncertainty.
<div class=example>
<p>This code has no effect on the &lsquo;<code class=css>pages</code>&rsquo; counter which cannot be
changed by the style sheet. However, the the &lsquo;<code class=css>page</code>&rsquo; counter reset normally.
<pre>
@page :right {
counter-reset: pages page;
}
</pre>
</div>

<h2 id=image-resolution><span class=secno>8. </span>Image resolution</h2>
<p>Image resolution, as the term is used in this document, means pixels per
physical length, e.g., pixels per inch. Some image formats can record
information about the resolution of images. This information can be
helpful when determining the actual size of the image in the formatting
process. However, the information can also be wrong, in which case it
should be ignored. The &lsquo;<a href="#image-resolution0"><code
class=property>image-resolution</code></a>&rsquo; and &lsquo;<code
class=property>background-image-resolution</code>&rsquo; properties are
introduced to determine the correct resolution of images.

resolution found in the image. Instead, the image resolution will be
found by converting the dimension of the image into CSS pixels.
<dt>from-image
<dd>The UA must look for the resolution in the image itself. If the image
does not have a resolution, the specified &lt;dpi> value is used. If no
&lt;dpi> value is specified, the behavior is as if &lsquo;<code
class=css>normal</code>&rsquo; had been specified.
<dt>&lt;dpi>
<dd>The value consists of a number with a &lsquo;<code
class=property>dpi</code>&rsquo; unit identifier. The &lt;dpi> value sets
the resolution of the image. In combination with &lsquo;<code
class=css>from-image</code>&rsquo;, the specified dpi is only used if the
image does not have a resolution.

<h2 id=cmyk-colors><span class=secno>11. </span>CMYK colors</h2>
<p>Printers do not use RGB colors, they (often) use CMYK: cyan, magenta,
yellow and black. The &lsquo;<code class=css>cmyk()</code>&rsquo;
functional value allows style sheets to express device-dependent CMYK
colors.
<div class=example>
<pre>
h3 { color: cmyk(0.8, 0.5, 0.0, 0.3) }
</pre>
</div>
<p>The values representing the colors are between &lsquo;<code
class=css>0</code>&rsquo; and &lsquo;<code class=css>1</code>&rsquo;.
Values outside this range are clipped.
<p>It is not expected that screen-centric user agents support CMYK colors
and it is therefore important that existing CSS color values can be
combined with CMYK colors.
<div class=example>
<pre>
h3 {
color: red;
color: cmyk(0.5, 0.1, 0.0, 0.2);
}
</pre>
<p>User Agents that do not understand the <code>cmyk()</code> value, will
use the first color (red). User agents that understand
<code>cmyk()</code> will use the second color (which is bluish).
</div>
<h2 id=styling-blank-pages><span class=secno>12. </span>Styling blank pages</h2>
<p>Blank pages that appear as a result of forced page breaks can be styled
with the <code>:blank</code> pseudo-class.
<div class=example>
<p>In this example, forced page break may occur before <code>h1</code>
elements.
<pre>
h1 { page-break-before: left }
@page :blank {
@top-center { content: "This page is intentionally left blank" }
}
</pre>
</div>
<p>The <code>:blank</code> pseudo-class has the same specificity as the
<code>:first</code> pseudo-class. A page matched by <code>:blank</code>
will still be matched by other page selectors.
<div class=example>
<p>If headers have been specified on all right pages, a blank right page
will be matched by both <code>:blank</code> and <code>:right</code>.
Therefore, margin boxes set on right pages will have to be removed unless
they are wanted on blank pages. Here is an example where the top center
header is removed from blank pages, while the page number remains:
<pre>
h1 { page-break-before: left }
@page :blank {
@top-center { content: none }
}
@page :right {
@top-center { content: "Preliminary edition" }
@bottom-center { content: counter(page) }
}
</pre>
<p>Due to the higher specificity of <code>:blank</code> over
<code>:right</code>, the top center header is removed even if
<code>content: none</code> comes before <code>content: "Preliminary
edition"</code>.
</div>
<h2 id=page-floats><span class=secno>13. </span>Page floats</h2>
<p>Images and figures are sometimes displayed at the top or bottom of
pages. Also, an element may be moved to the next page or not displayed at
all if there is not enough room on its native page. These types of floats
are called "page floats" in this specification.
<p>To support page floats, the <span class=property>&lsquo;<code
class=property>float</code>&rsquo;</span> property is extended with
several new values: <!--
<p>Further, the &lsquo;<code class=property>float</code>&rsquo; property is extended to accept a
comma-separated list of sets of keywords. If the first set of keywords
cannot be honored with the element remaining on the current page, the
second set of keywords will determine how the element is floated.
<div class="example">
<p>In this example, the element will be floated to the top of the next page unless it fits on the current page.
<pre>
.figure {
float: none, top next page;
}
</pre>
</div>
-->
<dl>
<dt>inside
<dd>On a right page, this value is synonymous with &lsquo;<code
class=property>left</code>&rsquo;. On a left page, this value is
synonymous with &lsquo;<code class=property>right</code>&rsquo;.
<dt>outside
<dd>On a left page, this value is synonymous with &lsquo;<code
class=property>left</code>&rsquo;, On a right page, this value is
synonymous with &lsquo;<code class=property>right</code>&rsquo;.
<dt>page
<dd>Indicates that the page area is the flow root for the element.
<dt>multicol
<dd>Indicates that the multicol element is the flow root for the element.
<dt>intrude
<dd>The element may intrude neighboring columns; if the element is not in
a multi-column element, this keyword has no effect.
<dt>unless-room
<dd>If the element can be laid out in its natural position without causing
a page break, it should be laid out there disregarding the &lsquo;<code
class=property>float</code>&rsquo; property; in other cases the other
values on &lsquo;<code class=property>float</code>&rsquo; will determine
its floating behavior.
<dt>top
<dd>This keyword indicates that the element is floated to the top of the
flow root.
<dt>bottom
<dd>This keyword indicates that the element is floated to the bottom of
the flow root.
<dt>next
<dd>The float is placed on top of the next page from its source location.
If combined with &lsquo;<code class=property>bottom</code>&rsquo;, the
float is placed on the bottom of the next page.
<dt>page()
<dd>The element is floated to a named page. The named page is created for
the element, unless a suitable named page already has been created by
another &lsquo;<code class=css>page()</code>&rsquo; value. The name page
should appear as early as possible, but any &lsquo;<code
class=property>next</code>&rsquo; keywords should be honored.
<dd>The element is floated to one or more named pages of the type
specified. These named pages are created for the purpose of showing the
element, and they are presented as early as possible after the page from
which they are displaced. If the element is not the first page float to
be displaced from this page area to this named page name, its contents
should continue on the last of the previously established named pages
(unless precluded, for example by page-breaking properties).
<dt>hide
<dd>As if &lsquo;<code class=css>display: none</code>&rsquo; is set.
</dl>
<p>The values on float are categorized as such:
<ul>
<li>horizontal keywords: left right inside outside
<li>vertical keywords: top bottom
<li>flow root keywords: page multicol
<li>modifier keyword: next unless-room
<li>other keywords: none hide footnote page()
</ul>
<p>The keywords can be combined to form more complex expressions with these
restrictions:
<ul>
<li>only one horizontal keyword can appear in a set
<li>only one vertical keyword can appear in a set
<li>at least one horizontal or vertical keyword must appear, except that
&lsquo;<code class=css>none</code>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<code
class=css>hide</code>&rsquo;, and &lsquo;<code
class=css>footnote</code>&rsquo; must appear alone
<li>&lsquo;<code class=property>next</code>&rsquo; may appear once along
with &lsquo;<code class=property>page</code>&rsquo;
<li>keywords can appear in any order
</ul>
<div class=example>
<p>Float element to the top of the page:
<pre>
.figure {
float: top page;
}
</pre>
</div>
<div class=example>
<p>Float element to the top of the next page:
<pre>
.figure {
float: top next page;
}
</pre>
</div>
<div class=example>
<p>Place footnotes at the bottom of the inside columns:
<pre>
@footnote {
float: bottom inside multicol;
}
</pre>
</div>
<div class=example>
<p>Place figure on top of current column:
<pre>
.figure {
float: top;
}
</pre>
</div>
<div class=example>
<p>Float the figure to the top of the next page, unless it fits in its
natural position without causing a page break:
<pre>
.figure {
float: top next page unless-room;
}
</pre>
</div>
<div class=example>
<p>Hide the element unless it fits in its natural position without causing
a page break:
<pre>
.figure {
float: hide unless-room;
}
</pre>
</div>
<div class=example>
<p>In this example, wide tables are floated to landscape pages:
<pre>
table.wide {
float: page(landscape);
}
</pre>
In the above code, the element is take out of the flow, which is allowed
to continue on the same page. If the flow should be broken, this code can
be used:
<pre>
table.wide {
page: landscape;
}
</pre>
</div>
<div class=example>
<p>Consider this code:
<pre>
table {
float: page(landscape);
}
</pre>
<p>If two tables appear consecutively, they will both, space permitting,
be placed on the same named page. To ensure that each table appears on
its own page, this code can be used:
<pre>
table {
float: page(landscape);
page-break-before: always;
}
</pre>
</div>
<p>For non-replaced elements in horizontal text, values on &lsquo;<code
class=property>float</code>&rsquo; that have a horizontal component
(&lsquo;<code class=property>right</code>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<code
class=property>left</code>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<code
class=property>outside</code>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<code
class=property>inside</code>&rsquo;) will result in shrink-wrap width
calculations as per CSS 2.1 section 10.3.5. Values that only have a
vertical component (&lsquo;<code class=property>top</code>&rsquo;,
&lsquo;<code class=property>bottom</code>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<code
class=property>next</code>&rsquo;, not in combination with other values)
will result in width calculations as per CSS 2.1 section 10.3.3. In
vertical text, width calculations are vice versa.
<h3 id=float-intrusion-in-multicol-elements><span class=secno>13.1.
</span>Float intrusion in multicol elements</h3>
<p>In multi-column layouts <a href="#CSS3COL"
rel=biblioentry>[CSS3COL]<!--{{CSS3COL}}--></a>, floats appear within
columns; they never intrude into neighboring columns.
<div class=example>
<pre class=css>
img { float: left; width: 120% }
</pre>
<p>In this example, the image is wider than the column and will therefore
intrude into the neighboring column. At the bottom of the middle column
is a long word that is clipped in the middle of the column gap.

<h2 id=advanced-multi-column-layout><span class=secno>14. </span>Advanced
multi-column layout</h2>
<p>In paged media, it is common for figures, captions, images, and quotes
to be laid out in certain positions for typographical reasons, rather than
for structural (as in content order) reasons. For example, an image that
illustrates a news story is often placed in the upper right corner of the
article, irrespective of its order in the content. A poignant quote from
the article may be shown in large type in the column gap, pushing aside
text in both columns, to get the attention of the reader.
<p>Basic multi-column layouts is described in a separated CSS3 module <a
href="#CSS3COL" rel=biblioentry>[CSS3COL]<!--{{CSS3COL}}--></a>. This
section extends multi-column functionality so that more advanced, but
commonly used, layouts can be achieved.
<p>The proposed functionality relies on three new components:
<ul>
<li>one new value on float: &lsquo;<code class=css>multicol</code>&rsquo;
(listed in the previous section)
<li>one new property: &lsquo;<a href="#float-offset"><code
class=property>float-offset</code></a>&rsquo;
<li>one new unit: &lsquo;<code class=css>gr</code>&rsquo;
</ul>
<p>The strategy for achieving advanced multi-column layout is similar to
page floats; elements escape their normal flow root by setting a value on
&lsquo;<code class=property>float</code>&rsquo;. In the case of
multi-column layout, the keyword is &lsquo;<code
class=css>multicol</code>&rsquo; (instead of &lsquo;<code
class=css>page</code>&rsquo;) and it indicates that the element should
floated with regard to. the multi-column element instead of the column
where it naturally occurs.
<p>To further enhance positioning, the &lsquo;<a href="#float-offset"><code
class=property>float-offset</code></a>&rsquo; property is introduced. It
pushes elements in the opposite direction of the positional keywords, both
horizontally and vertically.
<p>The &lsquo;<code class=css>gr</code>&rsquo; unit is introduced to allow
the grid lines of columns (and, potentially, tables) to be used in the
positioning ans sizing of elements. Each column has one grid line on each
side corresponding to the content edge of the content box.
<p>The &lsquo;<code class=css>gr</code>&rsquo; unit has two purposes. When
used on the &lsquo;<a href="#float-offset"><code
class=property>float-offset</code></a>&rsquo; property it identifies a
position by counting columns and gaps from the position established by the
&lsquo;<code class=property>float</code>&rsquo; property. Fractions on the
&lsquo;<code class=property>gr</code>&rsquo; unit refer to fractions of
the last counted gap or column.
<p>When used on the &lsquo;<code class=property>width</code>&rsquo;
property, the &lsquo;<code class=property>gr</code>&rsquo; unit identifies
a length by counting gaps and columns, starting at the point where the
element naturally finds itself and continuing in the direction of box
expansion. Fractions on the &lsquo;<code class=property>gr</code>&rsquo;
unit refer to the last gap or column counted.

<p>This property pushes floated elements in the opposite direction of the
where they have been floated with &lsquo;<code
class=property>float</code>&rsquo;. If one value is specified, it is the
horizontal offset. If two values are specified, the first is the
horizontal and the second is the vertical offset. If an element has only
been floated horizontally (e.g., by setting &lsquo;<code class=css>float:
right</code>&rsquo;), this property will only offset the float
horizontally, even if a vertical value also has been specified. Likewise,
if an element has only been floated vertically, this property will only
offset the float vertically. If an element has been floated both
horizontally and vertically, this property will offset both horizontally
and vertically. If no vertical value has been specified, the vertical
offset is set to zero.
<p>If the &lsquo;<code class=property>gr</code>&rsquo; unit or percentage
unit is used, it means that the middle of the float should be aligned with
the specified grid line (or portion thereof).
<p>If another unit is used, it means that the float is pushed a distance
equal to the specified length.
<p class=issue>&lsquo;<a href="#float-offset"><code
class=property>float-offset</code></a>&rsquo; is a good concept for moving
a float into the right position. For completeness it should apply to
absolute positioning as well. We should reuse existing naming conventions
already in place for abspos elements (e.g., 'offset-left, &lsquo;<code
class=property>right</code>&rsquo;, or call it &lsquo;<code
class=css>shift left, </code>&rsquo;shift right' etc.).

<p>Assuming a three-column layout, the same rendering can be achieved by
floating the element to the right instead:
<pre>
div.quote {
float: top right multicol;
float-offset: 2gr;
width: 1gr }
</pre>
</div>
<p>The floated element will never be pushed outside the content edges of
the multicol element due to &lsquo;<a href="#float-offset"><code
class=property>float-offset</code></a>&rsquo;.
<div class=example>
<pre>
img {
float: top right multicol;
width: 3gr;
}
</pre>
<p>The code above floats the element to the top right of the multi-column
element. Further, it sets the width of images to the width of two columns
plus the gap between them. Here is a possible rendering.

<p>The first rule in the code above floats images to the top left of the
multi-column element. The second rule pushes the float in the opposite
directions: to the right and downwards. The horizontal component
(&lsquo;<code class=css>1.5gr</code>&rsquo;) means that the horizontal
middle of the element should be in the middle of the gap between the
left-most column and the one next to it. Vertically, element should be in
the middle of the column. Here is a possible rendering:

<p>Consider this code:

<p>The only difference between this and the previous example is the
horizontal value on &lsquo;<a href="#float-offset"><code
class=property>float-offset</code></a>&rsquo;. The value &lsquo;<code
class=css>1.25gr</code>&rsquo; means that a point 25% into the image in
the inline direction will be aligned with a point 25% into the column
gap. Here is a possible rendering:
