border-inline-start-style

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.

The border-inline-start-style CSS property defines the style of the logical inline start border of an element, which maps to a physical border style depending on the element's writing mode, directionality, and text orientation. It corresponds to the border-top-style, border-right-style, border-bottom-style, or border-left-style property depending on the values defined for writing-mode, direction, and text-orientation.

/* border-inline-start-style: style */
border-inline-start-style: dashed;
/* border-inline-start-style: horizontal vertical */
border-inline-start-style: dotted solid;
/* border-inline-start-style: top horizontal bottom */
border-inline-start-style: hidden double dashed; 
/* border-inline-start-style: top right bottom left */
border-inline-start-style: none solid dotted dashed;

It relates to border-block-start-style, border-block-end-style, and border-inline-end-style, which define the other border styles of the element.
