1318880 - grid-template-rows/grid-template-columns needs updates

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Developer Documentation Graveyard :: CSS, defect)

Description

[Mats Palmgren (inactive)]

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/grid-template-rows
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/grid-template-columns

The documentation for minmax() says:
As a maximum, a <flex> value sets the track’s flex factor. As a minimum, it is treated as zero (or minimal content, if the grid container is sized under a minimal content constraint).

The last sentence is wrong - minmax(<flex>, ...) is rejected in the parser
as an invalid value.  The formal syntax excludes that combination:
https://drafts.csswg.org/css-grid/#track-list

The Note there says:
"auto track sizes (and only auto track sizes) can be streched by the align-content and justify-content properties."
This is slightly misleading.  All tracks with an 'auto' max-sizing function
can be stretched, e.g. minmax(10px, auto) etc.  Also, typo: streched.

Thank you for noting this, Mats.

The description is based on a former version of the CSS Grid spec. and the description of minmax() has obviously changed in the meantime. I've updated the two pages now and fixed typo.

The typo was actually a copy & paste error from the spec., for which I now created https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/747.
