This property is a shorthand for the following CSS properties:
/* <length> values */ padding-block: 10px 20px; /* An absolute length */ padding-block: 1em 2em; /* relative to the text size */ padding-block: 10px; /* sets both start and end values */ /* <percentage> values */ padding-block: 5% 2%; /* relative to the nearest block container's width */ /* Global values */ padding-block: inherit; padding-block: initial; padding-block: revert; padding-block: revert-layer; padding-block: unset;
The padding-block
property may be specified with one or two values. If one value is given, it is used as the value for both padding-block-start
and padding-block-end

and the second for padding-block-end
.

property.
These values corresponds to the padding-top
and padding-bottom
, or padding-right
, and padding-left
property depending on the values defined for writing-mode
, direction
, and text-orientation
.
