CSS | padding-block-end Property

Last Updated : 29 Aug, 2022

The padding-block-end property in CSS is used to define the logical block end padding of an element. This property helps to place padding depending on the element’s writing mode, directionality, and text orientation.

Syntax:

padding-block-end: length|percentage|auto|inherit|initial|unset;

Property values:

length: It sets the fixed value defined in px, em, pt. Negative values are allowed. Its default value is 0px.
percentage: It is used to set the padding-block-end value in terms of percentage of the width of the element.
auto: It is used when it is desired that the browser determines the block-size.
initial: It is used to set the value of the block-size property to its default value.
inherit: It is used when it is desired that the element inherits the block-size property of its parent as its own.
unset: It is used unset the default block-size.
