Examples

Basic usage

Once support is implemented for this property, it will probably work like so:

When you've got a container with some inline children and you want to put a margin between each child but not have it interfere with the spacing at the end of the row, you might do something like this:

article {   background-color: red;   margin: 20px;   padding: 20px;   display: inline-block; }  article > span {   background-color: black;   color: white;   text-align: center;   padding: 10px;   margin-right: 20px; } 

The problem here is that you'd end up with 20px too much spacing at the right of the row, so you'd maybe do this to fix it:

span:last-child {   margin-right: 0; } 

It is a pain having to write another rule to achieve this, and it is also not very flexible. Instead, margin-trim could fix it:

 article {   margin-trim: in-flow;   ... }
