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.
/* <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: unset;
The padding-inline-start
property takes the same values as the padding-left
property.
This property corresponds to the padding-top
, padding-right
, padding-bottom
, or padding-left
property depending on the values defined for writing-mode
, direction
, and text-orientation
.
It relates to padding-block-start
, padding-block-end
, and padding-inline-end
, which define the other paddings of the element.
