lalod Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 I'm making a catalog in Publisher and I think it would be done quite fast if some Flexbox functionalities were implemented, many things from the web can be applied to the print world as well, to name the two best ones: flexible buttons and self-adjusting layouts. I take this space to ask if there is any plug-in to use Flexbox in Publisher. tudor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaoloT Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 It would indeed be great if Publisher could behave in parallel with parameters for print and web design. The two are mostly overlapping. In an age where print is losing relevance, this would give a new impulse to the idea of page layout. Paolo lalod 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Self-adjusting layouts should solve the lack of ePub options too. lalod 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aammppaa Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 Can you give some specific examples of what you would want a flexbox to achieve? Publisher has constraints which may help implement some reactive design elements.

Publisher has constraints which may help implement some reactive design elements. Constraints don't really solve my problem because to me that's not even Flexbox, in CSS you can do it simply by using the units of % and px with the box model. Flexbox has these very useful properties that I haven't found in Publisher yet, `flex-wrap` and `flex-flow` being the most game-changing properties, these other properties are not so necessary because this could be done with Publisher, but it has to be done manually and isn't automatic: `justify-content`, `align-items`, `align-content`, `gap`, `flex-grow` and `align-self`. And on another page, since Figma was bought by Adobe, this would be great because Publisher or Designer could be a more serious alternative in that UI prototyping tool scenario, because the other solutions on the market have some flaws or are very new, Penpot has some of these features for example, they even have CSS Grid in beta, but the real problem with Penpot is performance.
