Over the last few years, user habits and the Web platform have evolved. Increasingly, users are consuming Web content on a broad range of devices—including phones, tablets, and netbooks. On these devices less text fits on screen and some typographic issues, for example, rivers of white, become more prevalent.
At the same time, new capabilities including CSS3 Multi-Column, CSS3 Regions, and Positioned Floats appeared in the Web platform. Those features enable developers to create more complex text-centric layouts, but may also shorten average line length, increasing the prevalence of some common typographic problems.
