Ask me anything about CSS Grid Layout

Can elements added to a column adhere to document flow spacing, rather than the grid? #100

Hello,

I've been noodling around with grid, trying to get a specific layout to work. But alas:

Codepen Link

I'm trying for a 2 column grid: The left column holds the page content, and the right column holds any number sidebar elements with variable heights.

Rather than specifying rows for the contents of the right-hand column, I'd like the elements to be placed in the second column, but adhere to regular document flow (line-heights, margins, etc). Is this possible?

Note: I'd like to keep the sidebar elements as direct children of the grid (not in a wrapper) so that I'm free to reposition them within the grid at narrower media query widths.

Many thanks. For all your grid work.

Lots of minmax and repeat.

Well, we can hope for better support of display:contents which would let you put the sidebar elements in a wrapper to help layout at one break point and then make the wrapper disappear while its children remain present so that you are "free to reposition".
