CSS Data Type - <display-inside>

CSS <display-inside> data type determines the inner display of an element, which specifies the formatting context type, for a non-replaced element. These keywords define values for the display property. They can be used as a single keyword for older versions of browsers or along with a value from the <display-outside> keywords.

Possible Values

  • flow-root − It creates a new block formatting context for an element.

  • table − The element itself becomes a block-level container that behaves like an HTML table.

  • flex − The element works as a block-level element and arranges its content based on the flexbox model.

  • grid − The element works as a block-level element and arranges its content based on the grid model.
