Notes

Tagging standard

  • Every page should have the tag "CSS".
  • CSS properties belonging to a group have the tag of that group. E.g. "CSS Flexible Boxes"

Wishlist

Ideas for future projects or things the ideal CSS documentation should have:

  • Compatibility summary list
  • CSS variables
  • CSS to style forms (non-standard, including Chrome and IE specific styling)
  • Better CSS flexbox documentation

Macros

These macros are maintained and actively used in the MDN CSS area. If you want to create and use a new macro, please talk to MDN admins and the CSS topic driver.
