@page

The @page CSS at-rule is used to modify some CSS properties when printing a document.

Syntax

@page {   margin: 1cm; }  @page :first {   margin: 2cm; } 

Descriptors

size

Specifies the target size and orientation of the page box's containing block. In the general case, where one page box is rendered onto one page sheet, it also indicates the size of the destination page sheet.

Description

You can't change all CSS properties with @page. You can only change the margins, orphans, widows, and page breaks of the document. Attempts to change any other CSS properties will be ignored.

The @page at-rule can be accessed via the CSS object model interface CSSPageRule.

Note: The W3C is discussing how to handle viewport-related <length> units, vh, vw, vmin, and vmax. Meanwhile do not use them within a @page at-rule.

Formal syntax

@page <page-selector-list> {   <page-body> }

where <page-selector-list> = [ <page-selector># ]?<page-body> = <declaration>? [ ; <page-body> ]? | <page-margin-box> <page-body>

where <page-selector> = <pseudo-page>+ | <ident> <pseudo-page>*<page-margin-box> = <page-margin-box-type> '{' <declaration-list> '}'

where <pseudo-page> = : [ left | right | first | blank ]<page-margin-box-type> = @top-left-corner | @top-left | @top-center | @top-right | @top-right-corner | @bottom-left-corner | @bottom-left | @bottom-center | @bottom-right | @bottom-right-corner | @left-top | @left-middle | @left-bottom | @right-top | @right-middle | @right-bottom

When i was a little kid, I was really scared of the dark. But then I came to understand, dark just means the absence of photons in the visible wavelength -- 400 to 700 nanometers. Then i thought, well, its really silly to be afraid of a lack of photons. Then i wasn't afraid of the dark anymore after that.

Random CSS Property

unset

The unset CSS keyword resets a property to its inherited value if the property naturally inherits from its parent, and to its initial value if not. In other words, it behaves like the inherit keyword in the first case, when the property is an inherited property, and like the initial keyword in the second case, when the property is a non-inherited property.
