Css Margin-block-start Example


The margin-block-start CSS property defines the logical block start margin of an element, which maps to a physical margin depending on the element's writing mode, directionality, and text orientation.

Syntax


/* <length> values */
margin-block-start: 10px; /* An absolute length */
margin-block-start: 1em; /* relative to the text size */
margin-block-start: 5%; /* relative to the nearest block container's width */

/* Keyword values */
margin-block-start: auto;

/* Global values */
margin-block-start: inherit;
margin-block-start: initial;
margin-block-start: unset;

It corresponds to the margin-top, margin-right, margin-bottom, or margin-left property depending on the values defined for writing-mode, direction, and text-orientation.

It relates to margin-block-end, margin-inline-start, and margin-inline-end, which define the other margins of the element.


Values


The margin-block-start property takes the same values as the margin-left property.
