 * What CSS does the plugin use? Does it include CSS for flex boxes, grids, or multiple
   columns?

 * Hi mythusmage,
 * The plugin was originally based off of the column classes provided by the Genesis
   Framework. So each column is wrapped in a <div>, and then the column width is
   determined by percentages. The default column styles are located in the css->
   gcc-column-styles.css file. If you wish, these default styles can be disabled
   and you can apply your own column styles to the markup provided by the plugin.
   For more information, check out the [FAQ](https://wordpress.org/plugins/genesis-columns-advanced/faq/)
   section.
 * I hope this helps.

 * It does in a sense. But I’m wondering about the Flex Box CSS, most especially
   the Flex Flow property. CSS Tricks has a guideline to the subject [here](https://css-tricks.com/almanac/properties/f/flex-flow/).
   I suspect that adopting this CSS would make for a substantial difference in how
   columns were set up and the “shape” of the shortcode.

 * Hi mythusmage,
 * You could likely get flex box working with the markup this plugin generates. 
   You would just need to disable the default CSS as described in the [FAQ](https://wordpress.org/plugins/genesis-columns-advanced/faq/)
   section. It will likely take some work, but it is definitely possible. The markup
   generated by this plugin is just a bunch of <div> with classes to indicate what
   size they should be. You could likely just map these classes to the flex properties
   you wanted.
 * I am not that familiar with flex, so that is about all the guidance I can give.
   Sorry!

 * I’m not all that clear on flexbox either, but I have heard a lot about it. Doing
   a search on CSS Flexbox and CSS Flexbox Tutorials will lead you to a lot of information;
   some of it even up to date.
 * In any case keep in mind that when it comes to code good poetry is short and 
   simple, it’s doggerel that babbles on.
