inset-block-end
Baseline Widely available *
This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since April 2021.
* Some parts of this feature may have varying levels of support.
The inset-block-end CSS property defines the logical block end offset of an element, which maps to a physical inset depending on the element's writing mode, directionality, and text orientation. It corresponds to the top, right, bottom, or left property depending on the values defined for writing-mode, direction, and text-orientation.
This inset property has no effect on non-positioned elements.
