Multiformat thinking is hard. The whole point of our digital-first approach is to store content only once, and produce multiple formats automatically. This puts tremendous pressure on project managers, developers, authors, editors, designers and proofreaders to think in multiple formats at once.

Thank you for the feedback! "Inline-start" and "inline-end "are indeed a better choice of keywords, I made the change in the demo and updated the article Finally, thanks for the links to open issues and discussions, I had no idea there were discussions about it.Paged Media approaches : page floats
2018-04-07 12:28:15 Julie BlancNice explanation and demo! I'd like to give some comments. In some keyword combinations of your proposal, "before" behaves like inline-start, and "after" behaves like inline-end. In Antenna House's page floats implementaion, the "before" keyword means block-start and "after" keyword means block-end. That was because of W3C's old logical (flow relative) direction terminology, before/after/start/end, that was used in the W3C XSL-FO spec and changed to block-start/block-end/inline-start/inline-end in 2013 CSS Writing Modes. So I think we should avoid "before" and "after" keywords here. I think we should use "inline-start" and "inline-end" keywords rather then "before" and "after". e.g. `float: block-start inline-end`. Please see also css-page-floats open issues on https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/labels/css-page-floats-3 and the csswg "Page Floats Redesign" discussion minutes on https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2017May/0052.html

2018-04-03 12:49:20 PagedMedia Page Floats – Adam Hyde[…] Strange days… We use Vivliostyle at Coko, but it has been a fraught experience. Vivliostyle is a open source javascript library for automating typesetting of HTML/CSS content. We use it in Editoria for automating the production of book formatted PDF from HTML source. You can read a little about how this works here. […]

We also see what the W3C proposes (or not) for specific styles and content elements needed to make a book: generated content, color management, baseline and typographic matter, and so on. […]
