fit-content

The fit-content behaves as fit-content(stretch). In practice this means that the box will use the available space, but never more than max-content.

When used as laid out box size for width, height, min-width, min-height, max-width and max-height the maximum and minimum sizes refer to the content size.

Note: The CSS Sizing specification also defines the fit-content() function. This page details the keyword.

Syntax

width: fit-content;
block-size: fit-content;

    will start to wrap.
  </div>
