CSS - margin-block Property
The logical block start and end margins for an element are specified by the margin-block CSS shorthand property.
The writing mode, directionality, and text orientation of the element determine how these logical margins are converted into physical margins.
Depending on the values provided for writing-mode, direction, and text-orientation, this property refers to either the margin-top and margin-bottom or margin-right and margin-left properties.
The margin-block property allows for one or two values. With one value, it applies the same margin to both start and end. When two values are specified, the first one applies to the start, and the second one applies to the end.
Constituent Properties
This property is a shorthand for the following CSS properties:
Possible Values
The following list covers all the possible values of margin-block property.
<length> - The fixed value of the margin's size.
<percentage> - The percentage of the margin measured in relation to the contained block's inline size, or the writing-mode-defined width in a horizontal language.
auto - The browser chooses an appropriate margin to apply. This value, for instance, may occasionally be utilized to center an element.
Applies to
All elements, except elements with table display types other than table-caption, table and inline-table. It also applies to ::first-letter.
Syntax
margin-block = <'margin-top'>{1,2}
