fantasai@13527 | 14 | Abstract: This module contains the features of CSS relating to the borders and backgrounds of boxes on the page. It includes and extends the functionality of <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-background/">CSS Backgrounds and Borders Level 3</a>. [[CSS3BG]] The main extensions compared to level 3 are shaping ('corner-shape') and clipping borders ('border-clip'), logical background positions ('background-position'), and the ''extend'' ability of 'background-repeat'. |

fantasai@16010 | 67 | otherwise the second keyword defaults to ''background-position/center''. |

fantasai@13525 | 178 | By default, non-zero border-radii define |
fantasai@13525 | 179 | a quarter-ellipse that rounds the affected corners. |
fantasai@13525 | 180 | However in some cases, other corner shapes are desired. |
fantasai@13527 | 181 | The 'corner-shape' property specifies a reinterpretation of the radii |

fantasai@13530 | 255 | Here are two proposals for doing this: |

fantasai@13530 | 257 | The names are terrible, known problem, proposals accepted. |
fantasai@13530 | 258 | There is a problem with conceiving this as clipping: |
fantasai@13530 | 259 | if you have dotted borders, you want whole dots always, not parts of dots. |
fantasai@13530 | 260 | So it should be a drawing limit, not a clip. |

fantasai@13525 | 367 | <p class=issue>Should these properties be simplified to only accept <code>normal | [ <length> | <percentage> ] +</code>? |
fantasai@4172 | 368 | |
fantasai@13525 | 369 | <p>These properties split their respective borders into parts along |
fantasai@13525 | 370 | the border edge. The first part is visible, the second is invisible, |
fantasai@13525 | 371 | the third part is visible, etc. Parts can be specified with lengths, |
fantasai@13527 | 372 | percentages, or fractions (expressed by the ''fr'' unit, as per |
peter@16986 | 373 | [[CSS3GRID]] or its <a href="https://drafts.csswg.org/css3-grid/">editor's |
fantasai@16009 | 374 | edition</a>). |
fantasai@16009 | 375 | The ''border-clip/normal'' value means |
fantasai@13525 | 376 | that the border is not split, but shown normally. |
jackalmage@9894 | 377 | |
fantasai@13525 | 378 | <p>'border-clip' is a shorthand property for the four individual properties. |
fantasai@4172 | 379 | |
fantasai@13525 | 380 | <p>If the listed parts are shorter than the border, any remaining |
fantasai@13525 | 381 | border is split proportionally between the specified fractions. If |
fantasai@13525 | 382 | there are no fractions, the behavior is as if ''1fr'' had been |
fantasai@13525 | 383 | specified at the end of the list. |
jackalmage@9894 | 384 | |
fantasai@13525 | 385 | <p>If the listed parts are longer than the border, the specified parts |
fantasai@13525 | 386 | will be shown in full until the end of the border. In this case, all |
fantasai@13525 | 387 | fractions will be zero. |
jackalmage@9894 | 388 | |
fantasai@13525 | 389 | <p>For horizontal borders, parts are listed from left to right. For |
fantasai@13525 | 390 | vertical borders, parts are listed from top to bottom. |
jackalmage@9894 | 391 | |
fantasai@13525 | 392 | <p>The exact border parts are determined by laying out the specified border |
fantasai@13525 | 393 | parts with all fractions initially set to zero. Any remaining border is |
fantasai@13525 | 394 | split proportionally between the fractions specified. |
