inset-block-end

The inset-block-end CSS property defines the logical block end offset of an element, which maps to a physical inset depending on the element's writing mode, directionality, and text orientation. It corresponds to the top, right, bottom, or left property depending on the values defined for writing-mode, direction, and text-orientation.

This inset property has no effect on non-positioned elements.
