padding-inline-start

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

Syntax

/* <length> values */ padding-inline-start: 10px;   /* An absolute length */ padding-inline-start: 1em;    /* A length relative to the text size */  /* <percentage> value */ padding-inline-start: 5%;     /* A padding relative to the block container's width */  /* Global values */ padding-inline-start: inherit; padding-inline-start: initial; padding-inline-start: revert; padding-inline-start: unset; 

Values

<length>

The size of the padding as a fixed value. Must be nonnegative.

<percentage>

The size of the padding as a percentage, relative to the inline-size of the containing block. Must be nonnegative.

Description

The padding-inline-start property is defined in the specification as taking the same values as the padding-top property. However, the physical property it maps to depends on the values set for writing-mode, direction, and text-orientation. Therefore, it could map to padding-top, padding-right, or padding-left

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