The padding-block
CSS property defines the logical block start and end padding of an element, which maps to physical padding properties depending on the element's writing mode, directionality, and text orientation.
/* <length> values */ padding-block: 10px 20px; /* An absolute length */ padding-block: 1em 2em; /* relative to the text size */ padding-block: 5% 2%; /* relative to the nearest block container's width */ padding-block: 10px; /* sets both start and end values */ /* Keyword values */ padding-block: auto; /* Global values */ padding-block: inherit; padding-block: initial; padding-block: unset;
These values corresponds to the padding-top
and padding-bottom
, or padding-right
, and padding-left
property depending on the values defined for writing-mode
, direction
, and text-orientation
.
The values can be set individually as padding-block-start
and padding-block-end
. The inline direction property is padding-inline
which sets padding-inline-start
, and padding-inline-end
.
