margin-inline-end

The margin-inline-end CSS property defines the logical inline end margin of an element, which maps to a physical margin depending on the element's writing mode, directionality, and text orientation. In other words, it corresponds to the {{cssxref("margin-top")}}, {{cssxref("margin-right")}}, {{cssxref("margin-bottom")}} or {{cssxref("margin-left")}} property depending on the values defined for {{cssxref("writing-mode")}}, {{cssxref("direction")}}, and {{cssxref("text-orientation")}}.

Syntax​

/* <length> values */
margin-inline-end: 10px; /* An absolute length */
margin-inline-end: 1em; /* relative to the text size */
margin-inline-end: 5%; /* relative to the nearest block container's width */

/* Keyword values */
margin-inline-end: auto;

/* Global values */
margin-inline-end: inherit;
margin-inline-end: initial;
margin-inline-end: revert;
margin-inline-end: revert-layer;
margin-inline-end: unset;

It relates to {{cssxref("margin-block-start")}}, {{cssxref("margin-block-end")}}, and {{cssxref("margin-inline-start")}}, which define the other margins of the element.
