Multicol and fragmentation
summary
Latest specifics: fragmentation properties remain partially implemented but Chrome 102 improves fragmentation behavior, box-decoration-break: clone ships in Chrome while Firefox had it since 32 and Safari lags. Headless Chromium is the common PDF tool; print engines like Prince and Antenna House already implement many paged-media features. Tests show 20 requests for set-strings, 33 for cross-references, 13 for footnotes. Experimental multicol block behavior is available in Canary as column-height and column-wrap in Canary and gap decorations also land there.
