Summary
The @page
CSS at-rule is used to modify some CSS properties when printing a document. You can't change all CSS properties with @page
. You can only change the margins, orphans, widows, and page breaks of the document. Attempts to change any other CSS properties will be ignored.
The @page
at-rule can be accessed via the CSS object model interface CSSPageRule
.
Note: The W3C is discussing how to handle viewport-related
<length>
units, vh
, vw
, vmin
, and vmax
. Meanwhile do not use them within a @page
at-rule.Syntax
