margin-inline-end

The margin-inline-end CSS property defines the logical inline end margin of an element, which maps to a physical margin depending on the element's writing mode, directionality, and text orientation. In other words, it corresponds to the margin-top, margin-right, margin-bottom or margin-left property depending on the values defined for writing-mode, direction, and text-orientation.

/* Global values */
