A Flex Layout container is a frame holding its objects as nested items (as Edit › Paste Into makes), with a `flex` record: direction, wrap, justification, cross-axis alignment, Fixed/Auto width and height, padding and horizontal/vertical spacing. designcraft_doc::flex lays the objects out (a Flexbox subset: lines, justification, alignment, Auto sizing), and the engine runs it after every edit, so the container keeps its objects in place whatever changes. Commands: flex.add (Add to Flex Layout; detects aligned objects: their direction, Auto size, Space Between at their own spacing, as InDesign does), flex.convert (a group or rectangle frame), flex.remove (objects stay, grouped), flex.set (every panel setting, plus the alignment grid cell), flex.reorder. Resizing a container by its handles or W/H changes its box and makes that side Fixed instead of scaling its objects; dragging an object inside one drops it in the nearest place. UI: Object › Flex Layout (Add to, Convert to, Remove, Show Flex Controls), a Flex Layout panel (Window › Panels) laid out as InDesign's (Create Flex Layout; alignment grid, W/H with Auto/Fixed; justification menu, four directions, wrap; padding with the link button; spacing, greyed as InDesign does when the justification works it out or nothing wraps), and the same section in Properties. Icons are new drawings. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

InDesign feature checklist
Generated: summary by
cargo xtask parityfrom the rows below; rows last re-scored 2026-10-04, summary unchanged since (checked 2026-10-10) · Target: Adobe InDesign 2026
This is the presence checklist: does each InDesign feature exist in DesignCraft? It answers
the feature-breadth question only. Depth, fidelity and readiness for real work are assessed in
target-app-parity.md; individual shortfalls are in gaps.md.
Formerly docs/parity.md.
Edit a row's status, then run cargo xtask parity to regenerate the summary; don't edit the
summary by hand. Each row of the InDesign feature catalogue is scored D (done), P (partial: works but lacks options or UI) or M (missing), weighted by priority (P0 core = 3, P1 = 2, P2 = 1). Out-of-scope rows (Adobe cloud services, plug-ins, Typekit, Flash) are excluded.
Caveat (2026-10-10 review): rows were graded by the agents that built the features, at a coarse grain. A measured match of InDesign 21.6's own menu dump against DesignCraft's labels finds 69% of in-scope menu items (75% against the documented menu tree) (see target-app-parity.md), so read 99% as an upper bound.
Weighted breadth parity: 99% over 277 features.
