  • BlockStacked in the block-progression direction within an enclosing reference area or parent BLSE.
  • InlinePacked in the inline-progression direction within an enclosing BLSE.
  • BeforePlaced so that the before edge of the element’s allocation rectangle (see 14.8.5.4.5, "Content and Allocation Rectangles") coincides with that of the nearest enclosing reference area. The element may float, if necessary, to achieve the specified placement. The element shall be treated as a block occupying the full extent of the enclosing reference area in the inline direction. Other content shall be stacked so as to begin at the after edge of the element’s allocation rectangle.
  • StartPlaced so that the start edge of the element’s allocation rectangle (see 14.8.5.4.5, "Content and Allocation Rectangles") coincides with that of the nearest enclosing reference area. The element may float, if necessary, to achieve the specified placement. Other content that would intrude into the element’s allocation rectangle shall be laid out as a runaround.
  • EndPlaced so that the end edge of the element’s allocation rectangle (see 14.8.5.4.5, "Content and Allocation Rectangles") coincides with that of the nearest enclosing reference area. The element may float, if necessary, to achieve the specified placement. Other content that would intrude into the element’s allocation rectangle shall be laid out as a runaround.
