Inline-block Display mode

hi Vic,

thx for your answer, my goal is pretty simple, I want to achieve this layout.

I want to create a menu centered without knowing menu items width and menu width. Most of websites are generated via sql query, php, Ajax, asynchronous call...

A bitmap's width and height are known when displayed in browser so it's pretty simple to center them. It's exactly the same for all div with a fix width via pixel or percent units, it's pretty simple to align them.

But at some point you don't know how many items in your div you'll get and you won't know their needed width in order to display their content properly.

I maybe wrong but I think that two core features would be great to add in reflow : display : inline-block and text-alignement.

Perhaps it's because reflow is Photoshop oriented in it's way to import and layout content...

So do you think, you could add it to your roadmap ? That would be great !!

Hello ? I saw light coming from here but there's nobody, youhou ? Are you here Vic ?

Thank you very much for adding that feature in a possible futur release.

I have worked with Flash/ Flex until 2010 and Blend for Visual Studio from 2007 to 2014. I'm an advanced user on these software and maybe I could have a lot of small features that could make sense.

But I don't know what is the exact goal of Reflow so far :

Is it a proxy of the exact html / css properties ?

Or is it some kind of translator wich hide the complexity existing in css/html ?

I don't know the exact sense you want to apply to its use.

In some way we could simplify its use at the designer level. I have some clues to do that but don't know if it could help and if it's in a direction you would choose.

I agree with Jim !

Hi Vic, I don't get why it's not in the first set of features to add in the next step :

As I see Reflow, it has its own rendering web engine for design time. From this point, I wonder if inline-block display mode would be such a difficult and time consuming feature to implement...
