.container { display: flex; justify-content: center; align-items: center; height: 100vh; background-color: #f0f0f0; }
.box { width: 200px; height: 100px; background-color: #4CAF50; color: white; display: flex; justify-content: center; align-items: center; position: relative; inset-inline: 20px; }The 'inset-inline' CSS property is a shorthand for setting the 'inset-inline-start' and 'inset-inline-end' properties, which control the inline (left/right) positioning of an element. It allows for more straightforward control of an element's position within its container in a responsive manner, especially useful in layouts that adapt to different writing modes and text directions.
.container { display: block; border: 2px solid #333; padding: 20px; } .heading { inset-block-start: 30px; } .text { margin-top: 10px; }The 'inset-block-start' property is a CSS logical property that defines the distance between the start edge of a block container and its content in the block direction (which is top for a vertical writing mode). This property allows for more flexible and responsive layouts, especially when dealing with different writing modes and directions. It can be particularly useful for adjusting the layout in a way that respects the flow of text in various languages.
.container {
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
align-items: center;
height: 100vh;

inset-inline-start: 0;
inset-inline-end: 0;
}The 'inset-block-end' CSS property defines the logical end edge of an element in a block container, allowing for more intuitive control of element positioning in a block direction. It is part of the logical properties and values specification, which simplifies layout design for different writing modes. By using 'inset-block-end', you can easily adjust the space at the end of a block without worrying about the specific writing direction.

inset-block: 20px 0; /* 20px top, 0px bottom */
position: absolute;
}The 'inset-block' CSS property is a shorthand for setting the top and bottom offsets of a positioned element in a block direction. It allows for easy vertical positioning of elements, making layout adjustments simpler. This property is particularly useful in flexbox and grid layouts where vertical alignment is key.
.container { position: relative; width: 300px; height: 300px; background-color: lightgray; border: 2px solid black; } .box { position: absolute; inset: 20px; background-color: coral; border: 2px solid darkorange; }The 'inset' property in CSS is a shorthand for setting the values of the 'top', 'right', 'bottom', and 'left' properties simultaneously. It is commonly used with positioned elements to create a rectangle or box that can be offset from its containing block. By using 'inset', you can easily control the positioning of an element within its parent container, simplifying layout design.
