<li>Reflow process starts when
<ul>
<li>An html document starts loading (the frame tree contains only viewport, scroll(s), canvas, html, body).</li>
<li>The initial chunk of an xml doc is loaded.</li>
<li>The initial chunk of an html doc (or a subsequent chunk of an xml doc) is loaded. The container posts a
dirty reflow command with itself as the target. </li>
<li>Content is inserted, appended, or deleted through the DOM. The container posts a dirty reflow command
with itself as the target.</li>
<li>Style changes through the DOM - javascript, browser change font (CTRL+/-), a preference changes, etc.</li>

<h1>Review of Reflow</h1>
<ul>
<li>Reflow starts with pres shell
<ul>
<li>Which reflows the reflow root (usually the view port frame),</li>
<li>Which reflows it children, etc.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Ususally it starts when the pres shell processes its queue of reflow commands.</li>
<li>The reflower
<ul>
<li>Positions reflowee (if it can) before actually reflowing in case views are involved
(e.g. absolutely positioned elements) </li>
<li>Reflows reflowee and passes a reflow state (in) and a reflow metrics (in/out)</li>
</ul>

<ul>
<li>The reflow state:
<ul>
<li>Is a node in a tree structurally equivalent to the frame tree of reflow participants</li>
<li>contains:
<ul>
<li>reflow type,</li>
<li>avail size,</li>
<li>various computed values,</li>
<li>resolved style structs</li>
<li>possible request for preferred size and more.</li>

</div>
<h1>Review of Reflow</h1>
<ul>
</li>
<li>the reflow metrics contains:
<ul class=nested>
<li>max element size (if requested) - the minimum size it can be</li>
<li>preferred size (if requested) - the size it would like to be given no size constraints.</li>
<li>desired size - the size it would like to be given the avail size. This
is equivalent to preferred size if the avail size is not constrained.</li>

<h1>Review of Reflow</h1>
<ul>
<li>The reflowee sets various sizes in the reflow metrics after (possibly) reflowing some or all of its children
which reflows it children, etc.</li>
<li>The reflowee returns a reflow status which indicates
<ul class=nested>
<li>if it is complete, and thus not have to continue (split)</li>
<li>breaking status (in the case of some inline frames)</li>
<li>if there is truncation (it can't fit in the space and can't split). This is just a convience mechanism.</li>

<h1>Kinds of reflows</h1>
<ul>
<li>Initial - reflowee's first reflow must be of this type (reflower's responsibility).</li>
<li>Resize - reflowee gets a change in available space only. Similar to initial, except it can reoccur.</li>
<li>Incremental - has a reflow path (tree) where each node has a command with a target frame, <br>reflow command types are:</li>
<ul class=nested>
<li>dirty - something changed inside a target (e.g. it gains, loses children)</li>
<li>style changed - a target changed stylisticly (recall, size is a style property)</li>
<li>content changed - a target's content changed (e.g. a text run)</li>
<li>user defined - currently only used for fixed positioned frames </li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>

<h1>Kinds of reflows</h1>
<ul>
<li>Incremental reflow (continued)
<ul class=nested>
<li>reflower not allowed to change available size of reflowee</li>
<li>reflow commands get coalesced to streamline processing</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Style change
<ul class=nested>
<li>a target changed stylistic if there is a target, otherwise every frame may need to respond</li>
<li>parent of target usually turns it into an incremental reflow with a style changed command type</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>

<h1>Intro to paginated reflow</h1>
<ul>
<li>If the reflowee is incomplete, the reflower has the responsiblity to:
<ul>
<li>Create a continuation for the reflowee</li>
<li>Ensure that the continuation gets put in the frame hierarchy at the right place
and gets reflowed at the right time.</li>
<li>Typically, a reflower accomplishes this by putting the continuation (c) on an overflow
list which the reflower owns. When the reflower's continuation gets reflowed, it takes c
and its siblings as children and reflows them.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>If the reflowee is complete, truncated (it didn't fit), not at the top of page,
the reflower should put the reflowee on its overflow list and return an incomplete status.</li>

to "pull up" children from a continuation.</li>
