[css-flexbox] Example 3 (on abspos flex items) mistakenly says align-content when it means align-self #436
Description
Filing a bug on a typo in flexbox spec section 4.1. Absolutely-Positioned Flex Children -- specifically, Example 3 inside that section.
Example 3 says:
...if you set, for example,
align-content: center;on an absolutely-positioned child of a flex container, auto offsets on the child will center it in the flex container’s cross axis.
I'm 95% sure that means to say align-self, NOT align-content, for several reasons:
- This spec-text talking about applying this style on the child, with the intention of centering the child. That's precisely what the
*-selfproperties do -- position the thing they're applied to -- whereas the*-contentproperties control alignment inside of the thing they're applied to. - If the flex container is single-line (seems like a reasonable possibility, though Example 3 doesn't specify), another piece of the spec explicitly says that "
align-contenthas no effect" (because it's about aligning flex lines -- and in a single-line flexbox, "the cross size of the line is the cross size of the flex container" which means there's nothing foralign-contentto do).
