However earlier than embarking on studying I depart the hyperlink on my Substack publication about CSS. You realize what to make 😎
Additionally, thanks a lot, my sponsors: Ben Rinehart, Jesse Willard, Tanya Ten, Konstantinos Kapenekakis. I did not write this text with out their help.

They usually occur for parts with show: inline. The width property stops relying on the content material after the inline worth on grid.
If the content material of parts with show: grid would not match on one line then browsers will transfer it to a brand new line. The width property will equal the width property of the guardian.
If we alter the block worth on grid then we cannot see modifications as with the width property.
And if we alter the inline worth to grid the width property stops relying on the utmost line size.
2. By default parts with show: grid are positioned in a column. So if we alter the block worth to grid parts will save its place.
