In responsive design, we think a lot about space, especially in the context of screen sizes. But the amount of content or the number of elements is bound to affect space, too, just as unpredictably—and if we don’t want our designs to dictate our content, we need new ways to make our design aware of changing content quantities. Heydon Pickering walks us through a new idea for creating style breakpoints for quantities of HTML elements.

Change behavior of percentage row tracks and gutters when the grid container has an indefinite height. So far they were behaving similar to percentage heights in regular blocks, but the CSS WG has resolved to make them behave the same than for columns, making them symmetric. Percentages would be ignored to compute intrinsic height and resolved afterwards against that height. That way both column and row axes would have a symmetric behaviour in order to resolve percentages tracks and gutters.
