CSS Reference

AH Formatter V5.0 supports the following CSS properties.

As for the property of CSS2.1 or CSS3, please refer to the associated specifications of W3C shown in CSS Conformance for details. This section introduces the details of CSS extension properties, CSS2.1 or CSS3 properties with restrictions only. As for abbreviated expressions, such as [CSS3-GCPM] etc. in the table, please refer to CSS Conformance.

CSS Properties

It's safer to use a prefix with -ah- when the property is still a draft specification before the candidate recommendation. (-ah-) is applied to such a property in the following table. AH Formatter V5.0 also processes the property even if -ah- is not applied. However the property may become invalid when a specification changes in the future. When you follow the candidate recommendation such as CSS2.1, it is not necessary to apply -ah-.
