Definition and Usage

The margin-block property specifies the margin at the start and end in the block direction, and is a shorthand property for the following properties:

Values for the margin-block property can be set in different ways:

If the margin-block property has two values:

  • margin-block: 10px 50px;
    • margin at start is 10px
    • margin at end is 50px

If the margin-block property has one value:

  • margin-block: 10px;
    • margin at start and end is 10px

The CSS margin-block and margin-inline properties are very similar to CSS properties margin-top, margin-bottom, margin-left and margin-right, but the margin-block and margin-inline properties are dependent on block and inline directions.

Note: The related CSS property writing-mode defines block direction. This affects where the start and end of a block is and the result of the margin-block property. For pages in English, block direction is downward and inline direction is left to right.

More Examples

Example

With the writing-mode property value of a <div> element set to vertical-rl, the start of the element in the block direction is moved from top to right side, and the end of the element is moved from bottom to left side of element. A change in writing-mode also changes the effect from margin-block:

#parentDiv {
  writing-mode: vertical-rl;
}

#myDiv {
  margin-block: 10px 50px;
}
