Flexbox support? #61

Any plans or workarounds to support flexbox styles?

kbrown01 commented 7 years ago

I am afraid not. There is good reason, flexing box grids when combined with pagination are not possible to do. Technically speaking in order to compose properly, the grid would have to be broken apart and flowed into grids of fixed height -- the height of a page. There is no simple (or even difficult) solution to such things. HTML and browsers are fine because they do not comprehend pagination -- or even worse --- different pagination size and flow requirements based on page positions within a flow (first, last, middle and left/right pages).
