12.6.20. Side-by-side-item Flow Object Class

Use of this flow object requires the side-by-side feature.

A side-by-side-item flow object is always displayed. It has a single principal port whose contents are displayed. The display-size of the content is the same as the display-size of the side-by-side. A side-by-side-item flow object shall be allowed only in a side-by-side flow object.

The following characteristics are applicable:

The side-by-side-items are positioned so that, for each side-by-side-item except the first, its side-by-side-pre-align point is aligned in the placement direction with the side-by-side-post-align point of the preceding side-by-side-item.

If side-by-side-overlap-control: has the value indent, and if the start-indent of a side-by-side-item in a side-by-side flow object is less than the difference between the display-size and the end-indent of the previous side-by-side-item in the side-by-side, then it shall be positioned after the previous side-by-side-item in the placement direction.

Any space-before: applicable to the first area produced by a side-by-side-item and any space-after: applicable to the last area produced by a side-by-side-item shall be ignored.
