The min-block-size
CSS property defines the minimum horizontal or vertical size of an element's block, depending on its writing mode. It corresponds to either the min-width
or the min-height
property, depending on the value of writing-mode
.
/* <length> values */ min-block-size: 100px; min-block-size: 5em; /* <percentage> values */ min-block-size: 10%; /* Keyword values */ min-block-size: max-content; min-block-size: min-content; min-block-size: fit-content; min-block-size: fill-available; /* Global values */ min-block-size: inherit; min-block-size: initial; min-block-size: unset;
If the writing mode is vertically oriented, the value of min-block-size
relates to the minimum width of the element; otherwise, it relates to the minimum height of the element. A related property is min-inline-size
, which defines the other dimension of the element.
