Talk:CSS Flexible Box Layout

Capitalisation

Is it actually Flex Box (as a proper noun)? Should it be flex box? Or is the article using something different from the normal sentence casing (per WP:STYLE?)? --Mortense (talk) 18:06, 29 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

"Flex box", "flex box", "Flexbox", or "flexbox"?

Seen: "Flex box", "flex box", "Flexbox", and "flexbox".

What should it be? --Mortense (talk) 11:18, 24 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

There are two possible options:

- Flexible Box Layout Module, as in the W3C documentation.

- Flexbox, as in most publications, such as: Rachel Andrews (A Book Apart, 2017), Estelle Weyl (O'Reilly Media, 2017). Manuel Schmalstieg (talk) 20:00, 30 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Most of the sources do not call it that. No proof whatsoever. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 08:04, 9 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
A Google Scholar search for "Flexbox" yields 2,930 results [1] whereas "Flexible Box Layout" [2] returns only 300, indicating an overwhelming preference for the former name in reliable sources. 133.106.202.159 (talk) 11:07, 9 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
