Chapter 1. Basic Visual Formatting

This book is all about the theoretical side of visual rendering in CSS.Why is it necessary to spend an entire book (however slim) on thetheoretical underpinnings of visual rendering? The answer is that with amodel as open and powerful as that contained within CSS, no book couldhope to cover every possible way of combining properties and effects.You will obviously go on to discover new ways of using CSS. In thecourse of exploring CSS, you may encounter seemingly strange behaviorsin user agents. With a thorough grasp of how the visual rendering modelworks in CSS, youll be able to determine whether a behavior is acorrect (if unexpected) consequence of the rendering engine CSS defines,or whether youve stumbled across a bug that needs to be reported.

Basic Boxes

At its core, CSS assumes that every element generates one or morerectangular boxes, called elementboxes. (Future versions of thespecification may allow for nonrectangular boxes, and indeed there areproposals to change this, but for now everything is rectangular.) Eachelement box has a content area at its center. This content area issurrounded by optional amounts of padding, borders, an outline, andmargins. These areas are considered optional because they could all beset to a width of zero, effectively removing them from the element box.An example content area is shown in , along with the surroundingregions of padding, border, and margins.
