Hi Florian,
thanks for providing the link. While it contains some useful information
regarding text grids, I could not find information whether the grid
layout mode should be a document wide property, or a page style
property. Can you point me to the text you are referring to, or explain
why you think a document setting is more compatible with this CSS3 spec
than a page style setting would be?
Thanks
Michael
BTW: The CSS3 Text Module was a Candidate Recommendation in 2003, but
has been withdrawn in 2004. A rewrite is still in progress.
Unfortunately, the specification that would nowadays include the grid
specification (text layout) is not available publicly.
