Boxes can now be floated left or right, which makes text within the
same block formatting context flow around them.
We were creating way too many block formatting contexts. As it turns
out, we don't need one for every new block, but rather there's a set
of rules that determines whether a given block creates a new block
formatting context.
Each BFC keeps track of the floating boxes within it, and IFC's can
then query it to find the available space for line boxes.
There's a huge hack in here where we assume all lines are the exact
line-height. Making this work with vertically non-uniform lines will
require some architectural changes.
In order for inline elements (e.g <span>) to contribute padding etc.
to line boxes, we now create special "leading" and "trailing" fragments
for Layout::InlineNode and size them according to the horizontal
padding values.
The height of these fragments is taken from the tallest fragment on the
line. (Perhaps we should stop having per-fragment heights and just keep
a single height per line box, but that's a separate issue.)
In order to make things look nice, we now also adjust the height of all
fragments on a line so that nobody is shorter than the CSS line-height.
Bring the names of various boxes closer to spec language. This should
hopefully make things easier to understand and hack on. :^)
Some notable changes:
- LayoutNode -> Layout::Node
- LayoutBox -> Layout::Box
- LayoutBlock -> Layout::BlockBox
- LayoutReplaced -> Layout::ReplacedBox
- LayoutDocument -> Layout::InitialContainingBlockBox
- LayoutText -> Layout::TextNode
- LayoutInline -> Layout::InlineNode
Note that this is not strictly a "box tree" as we also hang inline/text
nodes in the same tree, and they don't generate boxes. (Instead, they
contribute line box fragments to their containing block!)
