CSS Property Page Template

This is a template page for CSS property. Please use this as a raw template when you create a new CSS property page.
Comment in italics are information about how to use part of the template
Add the non-standard header if the property is not on the standard track. In the summary section, in a note, describe how to achieve its effect using standard Open Web technologies.

Non-standard
This feature is non-standard and is not on a standards track. Do not use it on production sites facing the Web: it will not work for every user. There may also be large incompatibilities between implementations and the behavior may change in the future.

 
Add the experimental header if in your judgement the property's behavior is likely to change in future, for example because of very immature specifications or competing incompatible implementations.

This is an experimental technology
Because this technology's specification has not stabilized, check the compatibility table for usage in various browsers. Also note that the syntax and behavior of an experimental technology is subject to change in future versions of browsers as the specification changes.

Summary

Description of the property. It must start by "The xyz CSS property" followed by a one-sentence description. The first paragraph of this introduction will be used by default as the description of the page.

Note: Place holder for any special messages
But don't add several notes. It should be really important, or be part of the description!

Values

Each element of the formal syntax must be explained

value_1
Is a keyword meaning...
value_2

Formal syntax

The formal syntax must be taken from the spec and added to the 'CSSData' template. It is an important tool to get precise syntax information for advanced users.
