padding-block-end

This is an experimental technology
Check the Browser compatibility table carefully before using this in production.

The padding-block-end CSS property defines the logical block end padding of an element, which maps to a physical padding depending on the element's writing mode, directionality, and text orientation. It 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-inline-start, and padding-inline-end, which define the other paddings of the element.

Syntax

/* <length> values */
padding-block-end: 10px;      /* An absolute length */
padding-block-end: 1em;       /* A length relative to the text size */

/* <percentage> value */
padding-block-end: 5%;        /* A padding relative to the block container's width */
