Question

Floating divs

Hey TLF team,

Do you have any immediate plans to implement floating blocks instead of just floating images?  I am currently implementing a stop-gap measure that splits the input up into multiple blocks, renders each to a different textflow, then lays them out on the page, but obviously this isn't optimal and if you guys are on the verge of implementing floating divs then I'll hold off!

The reason I ask this is that I noticed that Jin Huang posted 'We are implementing border feature and backgroundColor of "block element" now', which suggests that you might be implementing other block features too...

To confirm I am talking about the kind of block floats that would allow layouts similar to:

to be created in a single text flow.

Floating divs is not in our feature list right now.

Besides, as to the layout you show me, I think you can make it with current TLF, by adding multiple sprites and then placing textflow in each sprite.

Thanks for your reply - in that case I shall continue with my original plan.  It would be really cool if you guys could add this feature at some point as when you have a lot of floating divs as seperate TextFlows on the screen at once things can get slow and it would be nice if this was handled within a single TextFlow.

Congratulations on your work on TLF so far!
