margin-inline-end

Baseline Widely available *

This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since September 2021.

* Some parts of this feature may have varying levels of support.

The margin-inline-endCSS property defines the logical inline end margin of an element, which maps to a physical margin depending on the element's writing mode, directionality, and text orientation. In other words, 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.

Try it

margin-inline-end: 20px; writing-mode: horizontal-tb;

margin-inline-end: 20px; writing-mode: vertical-rl;

margin-inline-end: 20%; writing-mode: horizontal-tb; direction: rtl;

<section id="default-example"> <div id="container"> <div class="col">One</div> <div class="col transition-all" id="example-element">Two</div> <div class="col">Three</div> </div> </section>

#container { width: 300px; height: 200px; display: flex; align-content: flex-start; justify-content: flex-start; } .col { width: 33.33%; border: solid #ce7777 10px; background-color: #2b3a55; color: white; flex-shrink: 0; } #example-element { border: solid 10px #ffbf00; background-color: #2b3a55; unicode-bidi: bidi-override; }

Syntax

css

/* <length> values */ margin-inline-end: 10px; /* An absolute length */ margin-inline-end: 1em; /* relative to the text size */ margin-inline-end: 5%; /* relative to the nearest block container's width */ margin-inline-end: anchor-size(height); margin-inline-end: calc(anchor-size(--myAnchor self-inline, 25px) / 5); /* Keyword values */ margin-inline-end: auto; /* Global values */ margin-inline-end: inherit; margin-inline-end: initial; margin-inline-end: revert; margin-inline-end: revert-layer; margin-inline-end: unset;

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