*Specification* https://drafts.csswg.org/css-multicol-2 *Summary* Add support for the `column-wrap` and `column-height` CSS properties, from multicol Level 2. https://drafts.csswg.org/css-multicol-2/#cwr https://drafts.csswg.org/css-multicol-2/#ch This allows for vertical column layout, or even 2D column layout. Columns can have an explicit constrained height, apart from being derived from the content-box height of the multicol container, and wrap to a new row of columns when all columns have been filled for one row, rather than creating overflowing columns in the inline direction. *Blink component* Blink>Layout>MultiCol <https://issues.chromium.org/issues?q=customfield1222907:%22Blink%3ELayout%3EMultiCol%22> *Web Feature ID* multi-column <https://webstatus.dev/features/multi-column> *Motivation* The primary motivation for introducing the new CSS properties `column-height` and `column-wrap` into the Multi-column Layout module is to gain greater control over the height of columns and enable the creation of content "rows" when the content overflows. Currently, the CSS Multi-column Layout module (multicol) is designed primarily for a single, continuous stream of content that flows down one column and then continues at the top of the next column, similar to a newspaper layout. This behavior is confined to a single "row" of columns. *Initial public proposal* https://drafts.csswg.org/css-multicol-2/ *TAG review* https://github.com/w3ctag/design-reviews/issues/1073 *TAG review status* Issues addressed *Risks* *Interoperability and Compatibility* *No information provided* *Gecko*: No signal ( https://github.com/mozilla/standards-positions/issues/1201) *WebKit*: No signal ( https://github.com/WebKit/standards-positions/issues/477) *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 information provided* *Debuggability* *No information provided* *Will this feature be supported on all six Blink platforms (Windows, Mac, Linux, ChromeOS, Android, and Android WebView)?* Yes *Is this feature fully tested by web-platform-tests <https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/main/docs/testing/web_platform_tests.md>?* Yes *Flag name on about://flags* MulticolColumnWrapping *Finch feature name* MulticolColumnWrapping *Rollout plan* Will ship enabled for all users *Requires code in //chrome?* False *Tracking bug* https://issues.chromium.org/issues/403183884 *Estimated milestones* Shipping on desktop 144 Shipping on Android 144 Shipping on WebView 144 *Anticipated spec changes* Open questions about a feature may be a source of future web compat or interop issues.
