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)

"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)

: 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)
