Previously, when having inline contexts consisting of just a `<br/>`
tag, we would not create a line box.
Ensure that there is always a line box when a line is explicitly being
broken and also ensure it won't be trimmed due to being empty.
This will a fix a number of sites that use `<br>` tags for layouts
between block elements (even though the spec says they shouldn't).
According to CSS Inline Layout Module Level 3 § 2.2 Step 1. atomic
inlines should be layed out in a line box based on their margin box.
However, up until this patch we were unconditionally considering only
the border box during line box height calculation. This made us
essentially drop all vertical margins for atomic inlines.
This fixes a few sizing issues too. The page size is now correct in most
cases! \o/
We get to remove some of the `to_type<>()` shenanigans, though it
reappears in some other places.
Strut should be taken in account while computing baseline of
a line. Otherwise it results in wrong alignment in boxes that
has inline elements without any text.
This also fixes red box in Acid 2.
When checking if a line box fragment "isn't just dumb inline content",
we were checking "is replaced or inline-block". What we really need to
be checking is "is replaced or inline-outside-but-not-flow-inside".
So now we check that.
This fixes an issue where inline-flex boxes were given incorrect extra
height due to being treated as regular text for purposes of line height
calculation.
Inline-level blocks already have the half-leading applied internally,
so by adding it twice, we were offsetting their baseline by the
half-leading of the line.
This fixes an issue where inline-blocks were vertically offset from
the line they're supposed to sit on.
We were using `>=` instead of `>` when checking if a float with a given
width could fit in the available space. If the width was an exact match,
we rejected it! Oops :^)
Previously, we were using the full containing block width as a reference
for text-align values "right" and "center". This didn't take intruding
floats into account.
This patch combines a number of techniques to make inline content flow
more correctly around floats:
- During inline layout, BFC now lets LineBuilder decide the Y coordinate
when inserting a new float. LineBuilder has more information about the
currently accumulated line, and can make better breaking decisions.
- When inserting a float on one side, and the top of the newly inserted
float is below the bottommost float on the opposite side, we now reset
the opposite side back to the start of that edge. This improves
breaking behavior between opposite-side floats.
- After inserting a float during inline layout, we now recalculate the
available space on the line, but don't adjust X offsets of already
existing fragments. This is handled by update_last_line() anyway,
so it was pointless busywork.
- When measuring whether a line can fit at a given Y coordinate, we now
consider both the top and bottom Y values of the line. This fixes an
issue where the bottom part of a line would bleed over other content
(since we had only checked that the top Y coordinate of that line
would fit.)
There are some pretty brain-dead algorithms in here that we need to make
smarter, but I didn't want to complicate this any further so I've left
FIXMEs about them instead.
Before this change, we'd always insert one line box fragment, even when
a float was taking up too much space on the line, and the fragment
didn't actually fit.
We now perform line breaks until we have enough space between floats.
This fixes many page layouts where we'd previously see small fragments
of inline content outside the right edge of the containing block.
Previously, we had three layout modes:
- Normal:
- Everything uses the computed values from CSS.
- MinContent:
- Containing blocks act as if they have 0 width.
- All line breaking opportunities are taken.
- MaxContent:
- Containing blocks act as if they have infinite width.
- Only forced line breaks are accepted.
The above was based on a set of misunderstandings of CSS sizing.
A major problem with the above was that *all* containing blocks
behaved differently during intrinsic size layout, not just the
relevant one.
With this patch there are only two layout modes:
- Normal:
- Everything uses the computed values from CSS.
- IntrinsicSizeDetermination:
- One or more boxes have size constraints applied.
There are two size constraints per layout box, set here:
- FormattingState::NodeState::width_constraint
- FormattingState::NodeState::height_constraint
They are of type SizeConstraint and can be one of None, MinContent,
or MaxContent. The default is None.
When performing an IntrinsicSizeDetermination layout, we now assign
a size constraint to the box we're trying to determine the intrinsic
size of, which is then honored by using two new helpers to query
the dimensions of containing blocks:
- FormattingContext::containing_block_width_for(Box)
- FormattingContext::containing_block_height_for(Box)
If there's a relevant constraint in effect on the Box, the size of
its containing block is adjusted accordingly.
This is essentially an implementation of the "available space"
constraints from CSS-SIZING-3. I'm sure some things will break from
this, and we'll have to deal with that separately.
Spec: https://drafts.csswg.org/css-sizing-3/#available
We now position inline-level boxes based on ascent and descent metrics
from the font in use. This makes our basic text layouts look a lot more
like those produced by other browsers. :^)
I've tried to match the terminology used by the CSS Inline Layout spec.
This will regress Acid2 a little bit, and probably various other sites,
but on the whole it's the direction we should be heading, so let's go.
This avoids a bunch of unnecessary work in Painter which not only took
time, but sometimes also led to alignment issues. draw_text_run() will
draw the text where we tell it, and that's it.
Instead of emitting a Text item with the "should_force_break" flag set
to true, newlines in newline-preserving text content now timply turn
into ForcedBreak items. This makes the <pre> element work again.
We now distribute the line-height evenly between the space above and
below inline-level boxes. This noticeably improves our baseline
alignment in many cases.
Note that the "vertical-align: <length>" case is quite awkward, as the
extra height added by the offset baseline must count towards the line
box height.
There's a lot of room for improvement here, but this makes the buckets
container on Acid3 show up in the right place, with the right size.
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.
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.)
All the justification-related code is now in
InlineFormattingContext::apply_justification_to_fragments and is
performed after all the line boxes have been added.
Text justification now only happens on the last line if the excess space
including whitespace is below a certain threshold. 10% seemed reasonable
since it prevents the "over-justification" of text. Note that fragments
in line boxes before the last one are always justified.
Until now, we've been treating the bottom of every line box fragment as
its baseline, and just aligning all the bottoms to the bottom of the
line box. That gave decent results in many cases, but was not correct.
This patch starts moving towards actual baseline calculations as
specified by CSS2.
Note that once layout is finished with a line box, we also store the
baseline of the line box in LineBox::m_baseline. This allows us to align
the real baseline of display:inline-block elements with other inline
content on the same line.
Previously we were computing the bottom edge of a line box by finding
the bottommost fragment on the line.
That method didn't give correct results for line boxes with no fragments
(which is exactly what you get when inserting a bunch of <br> elements.)
To cover all situations, we now keep track of the bottommost edge in the
LineBox object itself.
Using WeakPtr to remember which LineBoxFragment owns which Box was
imposing some annoying constraints on the layout code. Importantly, it
was forcing us to heap-allocate fragments, which makes it much harder to
clone a FormattingState.
This patch replaces the WeakPtr with a coordinate system instead.
Fragments are referred to by their line box index + fragment index
within the line box.
If vertical-align is a length value, we lift each line box fragment that
far from the baseline of the line box.
This is rather messy, and we'll have to improve factoring as we add
support for more alignment types.
Instead of re-measuring the distance between the left and right edges of
a line box, we now simply adjust the final width based on how much the
rightmost fragment moved during the alignment process.
This patch adds a map of Layout::Node to FormattingState::NodeState.
Instead of updating layout nodes incrementally as layout progresses
through the formatting contexts, all updates are now written to the
corresponding NodeState instead.
At the end of layout, FormattingState::commit() is called, which
transfers all the values from the NodeState objects to the Node.
This will soon allow us to perform completely non-destructive layouts
which don't affect the tree.
Note that there are many imperfections here, and still many places
where we assign to the NodeState, but later read directly from the Node
instead. I'm just committing at this stage to make subsequent diffs
easier to understand.
Here's roughly how this works:
- InlineLevelIterator keeps a nesting stack of inline-level nodes with
box model metrics.
- When entering a node with box model metrics, we add them to the
current "leading metrics".
- When exiting a node with box model metrics, we add them to the
current "trailing metrics".
- Pending leading metrics are consumed by the first fragment added
to the line.
- Pending trailing metrics are consumed by the last fragment added
to the line.
Like before, the position of a line box fragment is the top left of its
content box. However, fragments are placed horizontally along the line
with space inserted for padding and border.
InlineNode::paint() now expands the content rect as appropriate when
painting background and borders.
Note that margins and margin collapsing is not yet implemented.
This makes the eyes on ACID2 horizontally centered. :^)
This property represents the CSS content size, so let's reduce ambiguity
by using the spec terminology.
We also bring a bunch of related functions along for the ride.
