[css-flexbox] Example 3 mentions "justify-self" when I think it wants to say "justify-content" (original) (raw)

In section 4.1 of the Flexbox ED (the section on Absolutely-Positioned Flex Children), there's a chunk labeled "Example 3" which says:

For example, by default, the static position of an

absolutely positioned element aligns it to the

main-start/cross-start corner, corresponding to the

default values of justify-self and align-self.

Setting justify-self:center, however, would center

it in the main axis.

This is the only mention of "justify-self" in the whole document, so I'm guessing that's a mistake. I think it means to say "justify-content"? (justify-self is not defined in the flexbox spec, though it is defined elsewhere, in the CSS Box Alignment spec.)

Also: it'd probably be worth explicitly saying which element to set this property on, since (for justify-content) it applies to the container, not the abspos child. So e.g. "Setting justify-content:center on the flex container ..."
