The article in the OP is describing CSS grid layout, which is intended to serve exactly those sort of layouts. Here’s a basic description of its capabilities: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/grid <https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/grid> Here’s the GitHub ticket where we are discussing a proposed new layout based on the CSS flexbox system: https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/issues/4473 <https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/issues/4473> Over in that thread, I tried to explain why the grid layout isn’t suitable for the main TiddlyWiki layout. The grid layout requires that all of the elements making up the layout be known in advance, so that one can construct the grid template. In contrast, the TW layout needs to adapt fluidly as users add and remove sidebars, story rivers, menu bars etc. CSS grid layout is still pretty awesome. As Tony suggests, a particular sweet spot might be using it to construct modular layouts within a particular tiddler. I’d be interested in using it for tiddlywiki.com’s HelloThere tiddler, for example. Best wishes Jeremy -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
