CSS scroll-margin-inline Property
The scroll-margin-inline property is used to set all the scroll margins to the start and end of a scroll element at once. This property is shorthand for the scroll-margin-inline-start and scroll-margin-inline-end property. The selection of the start and end sides depends upon the writing mode. The start side and end side are left and right sides respectively for horizontal-tb writing mode.
- Where horizontal-tb stands for horizontal top-to-bottom.
Similarly, start side and end side are the top and bottom sides respectively for vertical-rl or vertical-lr writing mode.
- Where vertical-rl is the vertical right to left and vertical-lr is the vertical left-to-right.
