Specificationhttps://drafts.csswg.org/css-align-3/#baseline-rules

Summary

This feature allows developers to align items within either flex or grid
layout by their last baseline, instead of their first. This is done via the
following properties: align-items: last baseline; /* flex/grid container */
justify-items: last baseline; /* grid container */ align-self: last
baseline; /* flex/grid item */ justify-self: last baseline; /* grid item */


Blink componentBlink>Layout
<https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/list?q=component:Blink%3ELayout>

Motivation

Currently in Blink we only support aligning grid/flex-items via. their
first baseline. This feature allows web developers to align these items by
their last baseline.
We previously supported *parsing* of these values, however disabled due to
lack of layout support. See:
https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=885175#c4

This intent does not cover the "align-content: last baseline" feature.

Risks


Interoperability and Compatibility



*Gecko*: Shipping (
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/align-items)

*WebKit*: Supports parsing of the property value - but doesn't currently
support these in layout.

*Web developers*: No signals

*Other signals*:

WebView application risks

Does this intent deprecate or change behavior of existing APIs, such that
it has potentially high risk for Android WebView-based applications?

No.



Debuggability

This will show up as a valid value for these properties. A potential
devtools feature would be to display where these baselines appear for each
fragment.

Is this feature fully tested by web-platform-tests
<https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/main/docs/testing/web_platform_tests.md>
?No. There are some WPT tests however they are incomplete (e.g. lack
detailed testing). We'll add additional tests in the css-grid/css-flexbox
directories as we implement.
There are multiple outstanding spec issues which we'll work through while
implementing this feature. E.g.
https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/7660
https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/7656
https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/7655
