Before this change, each BFC child that established an FC root was laid
out at least twice: the first time to perform a normal layout, and the
second time to perform an intrinsic layout to determine the automatic
content height. With this change, we avoid the second run by querying
the formatting context for the height it used after performing the
normal layout.
Before this change, a formatting context was responsible for layout of
absolutely positioned boxes whose FC root box was their parent (either
directly or indirectly). This only worked correctly when the containing
block of the absolutely positioned child did not escape the FC root.
This is because the width and height of an absolutely positioned box are
resolved based on the size of its containing block, so we needed to
ensure that the containing block's layout was completed before laying
out an absolutely positioned box.
With this change, the layout of absolutely positioned boxes is delayed
until the FC responsible for the containing block's layout is complete.
This has affected the way we calculate the static position. It is no
longer possible to ask the FC for a box's static position, as this FC's
state might be gone by the time the layout for absolutely positioned
elements occurs. Instead, the "static position rectangle" (a concept
from the spec) is saved in the layout state, along with information on
how to align the box within this rectangle when its width and height are
resolved.
FormattingContext::run() does not allow reentrancy, so it's safe to
save and access layout mode from FC object. This avoids need to drill it
through methods of a formatting context and makes it clear that this
value could never be changed after FC construction.
Root formatting context box is passed into constructor and saved in FC,
so it's possible to access it from there instead of passing the same
box into run().
Table wrappers don't quite behave the same as most elements, in that
their computed height and width are not meant to be used for layout.
Instead, we now calculate suitable widths and heights based on the
contents of the table wrapper when performing absolute layout.

Until now, we had implemented flex container sizing by awkwardly doing
exactly what the spec said (basically having FFC size the container)
despite that not really making sense in the big picture. (Parent
formatting contexts should be responsible for sizing and placing their
children)
This patch moves us away from the Flexbox spec text a little bit, by
removing the logic for sizing the flex container in FFC, and instead
making sure that all formatting contexts can set both width and height
of flex container children.
This required changes in BFC and IFC, but it's actually quite simple!
Width was already not a problem, and it turns out height isn't either,
since the automatic height of a flex container is max-content.
With this in mind, we can simply determine the height of flex containers
before transferring control to FFC, and everything flows nicely.
With this change, we can remove all the virtuals and FFC logic for
negotiating container size with the parent formatting context.
We also don't need the "available space for flex container" stuff
anymore either, so that's gone as well.
There are some minor diffs in layout test results from this, but the
new results actually match other browsers more closely, so that's fine.
This should make flex layout, and indeed layout in general, easier to
understand, since this was the main weird special case outside of
BFC/IFC where a formatting context delegates work to its parent instead
of the other way around. :^)
Before, we only ensured that boxes establishing BFC did not overlap
with floats because that is what CSS 2.2 specification says. However,
we should also apply the same for boxes establishing FFC or GFC as this
aligns with the behavior of other browsers.

The margin from the containing blocks shouldn't be included in the
amount by which we increment x after a float was places. That coordinate
should be relative to the containing block.
Fixes the comments layout on https://lobste.rs.
Calculate a "preferred aspect ratio" based on the value of
`aspect-ratio` and the presence of a natural aspect ratio, and use that
in layout.
This is by no means complete or perfect, but we do now apply the given
aspect-ratio to things.
The spec is a bit vague, just saying to calculate sizes for
aspect-ratio'ed boxes the same as you would for replaced elements. My
naive solution here is to find everywhere we were checking for a
ReplacedBox, and then also accept a regular Box with a preferred aspect
ratio. This gets us pretty far. :^)
https://www.w3.org/TR/css-sizing-4/#aspect-ratio-minimum is not at all
implemented.
These are only used during layout, and always within formatting context
code, so we might as well put them in FormattingContext and avoid having
to pass the LayoutState around all the time.
At one point in the past, we had some functions that were called across
different formatting context types, which necessitated making them
static and taking the LayoutState as a parameter.
In all cases, those functions were used to do incorrect hacks, all of
which we've replaced with more correct solutions. :^)
This fixes the issue when margin collapsing state was always reset if
a box has clear property not equal to none even if it does not actually
introduce clearance.
This code now works in terms of *intrusion* by left and right side
floats into a given box whose insides we're trying to layout.
Previously, it worked in terms of space occupied by floats in the root
box of the BFC they participated in. That created a bunch of edge cases
since the code asking about the information wasn't operating in root
coordinate space, but in the coordinate space of some arbitrarily nested
block descendant of the root.
This finally allows horizontal margins in the containing block chain to
affect floats and nested content correctly, and it also allows us to
remove a bogus workaround in InlineFormattingContext.
Instead of special-casing FlexFormattingContext in the intrinsic sizing
layout helpers, add FormattingContext::automatic_content_width() and let
each context subclass decide what that means.
No behavior change here, just moving this responsibility.
The name "initial containing block" was wrong for this, as it doesn't
correspond to the HTML element, and that's specifically what it's
supposed to do! :^)
Introduce `TableWrapper` type so table wrappers could be
distinguished from block containers and override width
calculation for table wrappers (CSS 2.2 spec, section 17.5.2)
inside BFCs in the way that their width should be equal to
width of table box they wrap.
Implement collapsing of a box margin-top and first in-flow
child margin-top by saving function that updates y position
of containing block inside BlockMarginState and then for
every child until "non-collapsed through" child is reached
y position of containing block is updated by calling
update_box_waiting_fox_final_y_position_callback.
Previously y position of boxes in block formatting context
was calculated by looking at y position of previous in-flow
sibling and adding collapsed margin of "collapse through"
boxes lying between box currently being laid out and it's
previous in-flow sibling.
Here introduced BlockMarginState structure that maintains
array of currently collapsible margins hence we no longer
need to look at previous sibling to calculate y position
of a box.
We were incorrectly resolving them against the available width, which
may or may not be the same as the containing block width.
The specification for these properties says that percentages resolve
against the containing block width, so that's what we should do.
This is a big and messy change, and here's the gist:
- AvaliableSpace is now 2x AvailableSize (width and height)
- Layout algorithms are redesigned around the idea of available space
- When doing layout across nested formatting contexts, the parent
context tells the child context how much space is available for the
child's root box in both axes.
- "Available space" replaces "containing block width" in most places.
- The width and height in a box's UsedValues are considered to be
definite after they're assigned to. Marking something as having
definite size is no longer a separate step,
This probably introduces various regressions, but the big win here is
that our layout system now works with available space, just like the
specs are written. Fixing issues will be much easier going forward,
since you don't need to do nearly as much conversion from "spec logic"
to "LibWeb logic" as you previously did.
Instead of formatting contexts flailing around to figure out from the
"inside" how much space is available on the "outside", we should
provide the amount of available space in both axes as an input to run().
This basically means that when something creates a nested formatting
context, the parent context is responsible for telling the nested context
how much space is available for layout. This information is provided
immediately when invoking run().
Note that this commit doesn't pass accurate values in all cases yet.
This first step just makes it build, and passes available values in some
cases where getting them was trivial.
This was used by FFC to estimate the height of flex items after
performing layout inside them.
Now that we have automatic_content_height(), we no longer need this
awkward API and we can fold it into BFC's own height calculation.
This function should return the automatic height of the formatting
context's root box.
Until now, we've been relying on some magical handshakes between parent
and child context, when negotiating the height of child context root
boxes. This is a step towards something more reasonable.
We already had a helper for this, but compute_height() wasn't using it.
Tweak it so that compute_height() can use it, and remove the duplicated
code that's now redundant.
This patch adds a separate entry point for this kind of layout.
We override it in BFC to set up initial width/height values for the
BFC root block.
Resulting dimensions are assigned as content_width and content_height
at the end of intrinsic sizing, for each axis, if it's either "auto"
or there's a min-content or max-content constraint in effect.
CSS floats are now emitted by the InlineLevelIterator. When this
happens, IFC coordinates with the parent BFC to float the box to the
side, using the current LineBuilder state for vertical placement.
This makes the "instructions" text on Acid3 render as a single
contiguous flow of inline content.
The old mode names, while mechanically accurate, didn't really reflect
their relationship to the CSS specifications.
This patch renames them as follows:
Default => Normal
AllPossibleLineBreaks => MinContent
OnlyRequiredLineBreaks => MaxContent
There's also now an explainer comment with the LayoutMode enum about the
specific implications of layout in each mode.
Since there is currently no easy way to handle rotations and skews
with LibGfx this only implements translation and scaling by first
constructing a general 4x4 transformation matrix like outlined in
the css-transforms-1 specification. This is then downgraded to a
Gfx::AffineTransform in order to transform the destination rectangle
used with draw_scaled_bitmap()
While rotation would be nice this already looks pretty good :^)
The previous implementation used relative X offsets for both left and
right-side floats. This made right-side floats super awkward, since we
could only determine their X position once the width of the BFC root was
known, and for BFC roots with automatic width, this was not even working
at all most of the time.
This patch changes the way we deal with floats so that BFC keeps track
of the offset-from-edge for each float. The offset is the distance from
the BFC root edge (left or right, depending on float direction) to the
"innermost" margin edge of the floating box.
Floating box are now laid out in two passes: while going through the
normal flow layout, we put floats in their *static* position (i.e the
position they would have occupied if they weren't floating) and then
update the Y position value to the final one.
The second pass occurs later on, when the BFC root has had its width
assigned by the parent context. Once we know the root width, we can
set the X position value of floating boxes. (Because the X position of
right-side floats is relative to the right edge of the BFC root.)
This is preparation for allowing blocks with their own internal BFC to
flow around floating boxes in the parent BFC.
Note that IFC still has the available_space_for_line() API, which
returns space available within the IFC's own containing block, while the
BFC available_space_for_line() returns space available within its root.
