padding-inline-end

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

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

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

/* Global values */
padding-inline-end: inherit;
padding-inline-end: initial;
padding-inline-end: unset;

The padding-inline-end property takes the same values as the padding-left property.

This property 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-block-end, and padding-inline-start, which define the other paddings of the element.

<'padding-left'>
