Each <a data-link-type="dfn" href="#css-property" id="ref-for-css-property">property</a> has a name (e.g., <a class="property css" data-link-type="property" href="https://drafts.csswg.org/css-color-4/#propdef-color" id="ref-for-propdef-color">color</a>, <a class="property css" data-link-type="property" href="https://drafts.csswg.org/css-fonts-4/#propdef-font-size" id="ref-for-propdef-font-size">font-size</a>, or <a class="property css" data-link-type="property" href="https://drafts.csswg.org/css-backgrounds-3/#propdef-border-style" id="ref-for-propdef-border-style">border-style</a>), a value space (e.g., <a class="production css" data-link-type="type" href="https://drafts.csswg.org/css-color-4/#typedef-color" id="ref-for-typedef-color" title="Expands to: aliceblue | antiquewhite | aqua | aquamarine | azure | beige | bisque | black | blanchedalmond | blue | blueviolet | brown | burlywood | cadetblue | chartreuse | chocolate | coral | cornflowerblue | cornsilk | crimson | currentcolor | cyan | darkblue | darkcyan | darkgoldenrod | darkgray | darkgreen | darkgrey | darkkhaki | darkmagenta | darkolivegreen | darkorange | darkorchid | darkred | darksalmon | darkseagreen | darkslateblue | darkslategray | darkslategrey | darkturquoise | darkviolet | deeppink | deepskyblue | dimgray | dimgrey | dodgerblue | firebrick | floralwhite | forestgreen | fuchsia | gainsboro | ghostwhite | gold | goldenrod | gray | green | greenyellow | grey | honeydew | hotpink | indianred | indigo | ivory | khaki | lavender | lavenderblush | lawngreen | lemonchiffon | lightblue | lightcoral | lightcyan | lightgoldenrodyellow | lightgray | lightgreen | lightgrey | lightpink | lightsalmon | lightseagreen | lightskyblue | lightslategray | lightslategrey | lightsteelblue | lightyellow | lime | limegreen | linen | magenta | maroon | mediumaquamarine | mediumblue | mediumorchid | mediumpurple | mediumseagreen | mediumslateblue | mediumspringgreen | mediumturquoise | mediumvioletred | midnightblue | mintcream | mistyrose | moccasin | navajowhite | navy | none | oldlace | olive | olivedrab | orange | orangered | orchid | palegoldenrod | palegreen | paleturquoise | palevioletred | papayawhip | peachpuff | peru | pink | plum | powderblue | purple | rebeccapurple | red | rosybrown | royalblue | saddlebrown | salmon | sandybrown | seagreen | seashell | sienna | silver | skyblue | slateblue | slategray | slategrey | snow | springgreen | steelblue | tan | teal | thistle | tomato | transparent | turquoise | violet | wheat | white | whitesmoke | yellow | yellowgreen"><color></a>, <a class="production css" data-link-type="type" href="https://drafts.csswg.org/css-values-4/#typedef-length-percentage" id="ref-for-typedef-length-percentage"><length-percentage></a>, [ solid | dashed | dotted | … ]), and a defined behavior on the rendering of the document. Properties values are assigned to various parts of the document via <a data-link-type="dfn" href="https://drafts.csswg.org/css-syntax-3/#css-property-declarations" id="ref-for-css-property-declarations">property declarations</a>, which assign the property a value (e.g. <a class="css" data-link-type="maybe" href="https://drafts.csswg.org/css-color-4/#valdef-color-red" id="ref-for-valdef-color-red">red</a>, 12pt, <a class="css" data-link-type="maybe" href="https://drafts.csswg.org/css-backgrounds-3/#valdef-line-style-dotted" id="ref-for-valdef-line-style-dotted">dotted</a>) for the associated element or box. One of the fundamental design principles of CSS is <a data-link-type="dfn" href="#cascade" id="ref-for-cascade">cascading</a>, which allows several style sheets to influence the presentation of a document. When different <a data-link-type="dfn" href="https://drafts.csswg.org/cssom-1/#cssstyledeclaration-declarations" id="ref-for-cssstyledeclaration-declarations">declarations</a> try to set a value for the same element/property combination, the conflicts must somehow be resolved. The opposite problem arises when no <a data-link-type="dfn" href="https://drafts.csswg.org/cssom-1/#cssstyledeclaration-declarations" id="ref-for-cssstyledeclaration-declarations①">declarations</a> try to set a value for an element/property combination. In this case, a value is be found by way of <a data-link-type="dfn" href="#inheritance" id="ref-for-inheritance">inheritance</a> or by looking at the property’s <a data-link-type="dfn" href="#initial-value" id="ref-for-initial-value">initial value</a>. The <a href="#cascade" id="ref-for-cascade①⑤">cascading</a> and <a href="#defaulting">defaulting</a> process takes a set of <a data-link-type="dfn" href="https://drafts.csswg.org/cssom-1/#cssstyledeclaration-declarations" id="ref-for-cssstyledeclaration-declarations②">declarations</a> as input, and outputs a <a data-link-type="dfn" href="#specified-value" id="ref-for-specified-value">specified value</a> for each property on each element. The rules for finding the specified value for all properties on all elements in the document are described in this specification. The rules for finding the specified values in the page context and its margin boxes are described in <a data-link-type="biblio" href="#biblio-css-page-3">[css-page-3]</a>. <h3 class="heading settled" data-level="1.1" id="placement">1.1. Module Interactions<a class="self-link" href="#placement"></a></h3> This section is normative. This module replaces and extends the rules for assigning property values, cascading, and inheritance defined in <a data-link-type="biblio" href="#biblio-css2">[CSS2]</a> chapter 6. Other CSS modules may expand the definitions of some of the syntax and features defined here. For example, the Media Queries Level 4 specification, when combined with this module, expands the definition of the <a class="production css" data-link-type="type" href="https://drafts.csswg.org/mediaqueries-4/#typedef-media-query" id="ref-for-typedef-media-query"><media-query></a> value type as used in this specification. For the purpose of this specification, <a data-link-type="dfn" href="https://drafts.csswg.org/css-display-3/#text-nodes" id="ref-for-text-nodes">text nodes</a> are treated as <a data-link-type="dfn" href="https://drafts.csswg.org/css-display-3/#elements" id="ref-for-elements">element</a> children of their associated element, and possess the full set of properties; since they cannot be targeted by selectors all of their computed values are assigned by <a href="#defaulting">defaulting</a>. <h2 class="heading settled" data-level="2" id="at-import">2. Importing Style Sheets: the <a class="css" data-link-type="maybe" href="#at-ruledef-import" id="ref-for-at-ruledef-import">@import</a> rule<a class="self-link" href="#at-import"></a></h2> <div class="mdn-anno wrapped after"> <button class="mdn-anno-btn">✔MDN</button> <div class="feature"> <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/@import" title="The @import CSS at-rule is used to import style rules from other stylesheets.">@import</a> In all current engines. <div class="support"> Firefox1+Safari1+Chrome1+ <hr> Opera3.5+Edge79+ <hr> Edge (Legacy)12+IE5.5+ <hr> Firefox for Android?iOS Safari?Chrome for Android?Android WebView37+Samsung Internet?Opera Mobile10.1+ </div> </div> </div> The <dfn class="dfn-paneled css" data-dfn-type="at-rule" data-export id="at-ruledef-import">@import</dfn> rule allows users to import style rules from other style sheets. If an <a class="css" data-link-type="maybe" href="#at-ruledef-import" id="ref-for-at-ruledef-import①">@import</a> rule refers to a valid stylesheet, user agents must treat the contents of the stylesheet as if they were written in place of the @import rule, with two exceptions: <ul> <li data-md> If a feature (such as the @namespace rule) explicitly defines that it only applies to a particular stylesheet, and not any imported ones, then it doesn’t apply to the imported stylesheet. <li data-md> If a feature relies on the relative ordering of two or more constructs in a stylesheet (such as the requirement that @namespace rules must not have any other rules other than <a class="css" data-link-type="maybe" href="#at-ruledef-import" id="ref-for-at-ruledef-import③">@import</a> preceding it), it only applies between constructs in the same stylesheet. </ul> <a class="self-link" href="#example-d425da12"></a> For example, <a data-link-type="dfn" href="https://drafts.csswg.org/cssom-1/#cssstyledeclaration-declarations" id="ref-for-cssstyledeclaration-declarations③">declarations</a> in style rules from imported stylesheets interact with the cascade as if they were written literally into the stylesheet at the point of the <a class="css" data-link-type="maybe" href="#at-ruledef-import" id="ref-for-at-ruledef-import④">@import</a>. Any <a class="css" data-link-type="maybe" href="#at-ruledef-import" id="ref-for-at-ruledef-import⑤">@import</a> rules must precede all other valid at-rules and style rules in a style sheet (ignoring <a class="css" data-link-type="maybe" href="https://drafts.csswg.org/css-syntax-3/#at-ruledef-charset" id="ref-for-at-ruledef-charset">@charset</a> and empty <a class="css" data-link-type="maybe" href="#at-ruledef-layer" id="ref-for-at-ruledef-layer">@layer</a> definitions) and must not have any other valid at-rules or style rules between it and previous @import rules, or else the @import rule is invalid.

Processing Stylesheet Imports<a class="self-link" href="#import-processing"></a></h3> When the same style sheet is imported or linked to a document in multiple places, user agents must process (or act as though they do) each link as though the link were to an independent style sheet. Note: This does not place any requirements on resource fetching, only how the style sheet is reflected in the CSSOM and used in specs such as this one. Assuming appropriate caching, it is perfectly appropriate for a UA to fetch a style sheet only once, even though it’s linked or imported multiple times. The <a data-link-type="dfn" href="#origin" id="ref-for-origin">cascade origin</a> of an imported style sheet is the cascade origin of the style sheet that imported it. The <a data-link-type="dfn" href="https://drafts.csswg.org/css-syntax-3/#environment-encoding" id="ref-for-environment-encoding">environment encoding</a> of an imported style sheet is the encoding of the style sheet that imported it. <a data-link-type="biblio" href="#biblio-css-syntax-3">[css-syntax-3]</a> <h3 class="heading settled" data-level="2.3" id="content-type">2.3.

Carelessly used, this might result in inadvertently resetting some sub-properties. Carefully used, a shorthand can guarantee a “blank slate” by resetting sub-properties inadvertently cascaded from other sources. For example, writing <a class="css" data-link-type="propdesc" href="https://drafts.csswg.org/css-backgrounds-3/#propdef-background" id="ref-for-propdef-background">background: green</a> rather than <a class="css" data-link-type="propdesc" href="https://drafts.csswg.org/css-backgrounds-3/#propdef-background-color" id="ref-for-propdef-background-color">background-color: green</a> ensures that the background color overrides any earlier <a data-link-type="dfn" href="https://drafts.csswg.org/cssom-1/#cssstyledeclaration-declarations" id="ref-for-cssstyledeclaration-declarations④">declarations</a> that might have set the background to an image with <a class="property css" data-link-type="property" href="https://drafts.csswg.org/css-backgrounds-3/#propdef-background-image" id="ref-for-propdef-background-image">background-image</a>. </div> <div class="example" id="example-8762997a"> <a class="self-link" href="#example-8762997a"></a> For example, the CSS Level 1 <a class="property css" data-link-type="property" href="https://drafts.csswg.org/css-fonts-4/#propdef-font" id="ref-for-propdef-font">font</a> property is a <a data-link-type="dfn" href="#shorthand-property" id="ref-for-shorthand-property④">shorthand</a> property for setting <a class="css" data-link-type="property" href="https://drafts.csswg.org/css-fonts-4/#propdef-font-style" id="ref-for-propdef-font-style">font-style</a>, <a class="css" data-link-type="property" href="https://drafts.csswg.org/css-fonts-4/#propdef-font-variant" id="ref-for-propdef-font-variant">font-variant</a>, <a class="css" data-link-type="property" href="https://drafts.csswg.org/css-fonts-4/#propdef-font-weight" id="ref-for-propdef-font-weight">font-weight</a>, <a class="property css" data-link-type="property" href="https://drafts.csswg.org/css-fonts-4/#propdef-font-size" id="ref-for-propdef-font-size①">font-size</a>, <a class="property css" data-link-type="property" href="https://drafts.csswg.org/css2/#propdef-line-height" id="ref-for-propdef-line-height">line-height</a>, and <a class="css" data-link-type="property" href="https://drafts.csswg.org/css-fonts-4/#propdef-font-family" id="ref-for-propdef-font-family">font-family</a> all at once. The multiple declarations of this example: <pre class="lang-css highlight">h1 <c- p>{</c-> <c- k>font-weight</c-><c- p>:</c-> bold<c- p>;</c-> <c- k>font-size</c-><c- p>:</c-> <c- m>12</c-><c- k>pt</c-><c- p>;</c-> <c- k>line-height</c-><c- p>:</c-> <c- m>14</c-><c- k>pt</c-><c- p>;</c-> <c- k>font-family</c-><c- p>:</c-> Helvetica<c- p>;</c-> <c- k>font-variant</c-><c- p>:</c-> normal<c- p>;</c-> <c- k>font-style</c-><c- p>:</c-> normal<c- p>;</c-> <c- p>}</c-> </pre> can therefore be rewritten as <pre class="lang-css highlight">h1 <c- p>{</c-> <c- k>font</c-><c- p>:</c-> bold <c- m>12</c-><c- k>pt</c->/<c- m>14</c-><c- k>pt</c-> Helvetica <c- p>}</c-></pre> As more <a class="property css" data-link-type="property" href="https://drafts.csswg.org/css-fonts-4/#propdef-font" id="ref-for-propdef-font①">font</a> <a data-link-type="dfn" href="#longhand" id="ref-for-longhand④">sub-properties</a> are introduced into CSS, the shorthand declaration resets those to their initial values as well. </div> In some cases, a <a data-link-type="dfn" href="#shorthand-property" id="ref-for-shorthand-property⑤">shorthand</a> might have different syntax or special keywords that don’t directly correspond to values of its <a data-link-type="dfn" href="#longhand" id="ref-for-longhand⑤">sub-properties</a>. (In such cases, the shorthand will explicitly define the expansion of its values.) In other cases, a property might be a <dfn class="dfn-paneled" data-dfn-type="dfn" data-export id="reset-only-sub-property">reset-only sub-property</dfn> of the shorthand: Like other <a data-link-type="dfn" href="#longhand" id="ref-for-longhand⑥">sub-properties</a>, it is reset to its initial value by the shorthand when unspecified, but the shorthand might not include syntax to set the sub-property to any of its other values. For example, the <a class="property css" data-link-type="property" href="https://drafts.csswg.org/css-backgrounds-3/#propdef-border" id="ref-for-propdef-border">border</a> shorthand resets <a class="property css" data-link-type="property" href="https://drafts.csswg.org/css-backgrounds-3/#propdef-border-image" id="ref-for-propdef-border-image">border-image</a> to its initial value of none, but has no syntax to set it to anything else. <a data-link-type="biblio" href="#biblio-css-backgrounds-3">[css-backgrounds-3]</a> If a <a data-link-type="dfn" href="#shorthand-property" id="ref-for-shorthand-property⑦">shorthand</a> is specified as one of the <a href="https://www.w3.org/TR/css-values/#common-keywords">CSS-wide keywords</a> <a data-link-type="biblio" href="#biblio-css-values-3">[css-values-3]</a>, it sets all of its <a data-link-type="dfn" href="#longhand" id="ref-for-longhand⑧">sub-properties</a> to that keyword, including any that are <a data-link-type="dfn" href="#reset-only-sub-property" id="ref-for-reset-only-sub-property">reset-only sub-properties</a>. (Note that these keywords cannot be combined with other values in a single <a data-link-type="dfn" href="https://drafts.csswg.org/css-syntax-3/#declaration" id="ref-for-declaration">declaration</a>, not even in a shorthand.) Declaring a <a data-link-type="dfn" href="#shorthand-property" id="ref-for-shorthand-property⑧">shorthand</a> property to be !important is equivalent to declaring all of its <a data-link-type="dfn" href="#longhand" id="ref-for-longhand⑨">sub-properties</a> to be !important. <h3 class="heading settled" data-level="3.1" id="aliasing">3.1. Property Aliasing<a class="self-link" href="#aliasing"></a></h3> Properties sometimes change names after being supported for a while, such as vendor-prefixed properties being standardized. The original name still needs to be supported for compatibility reasons, but the new name is preferred. To accomplish this, CSS defines two different ways of “aliasing” old syntax to new syntax. <dl> <dt><dfn class="dfn-paneled" data-dfn-type="dfn" data-export data-lt="legacy name alias" id="legacy-name-alias">legacy name aliases</dfn> <dd> When the old property’s value syntax is identical to that of the new property, the two names are aliased with an operation on par with case-mapping: at parse time, the old property is converted into the new property. This conversion also applies in the CSSOM, both for string arguments and property accessors: requests for the old property name transparently transfer to the new property name instead. <div class="example" id="example-5dd1d5a6"><a class="self-link" href="#example-5dd1d5a6"></a> For example, if old-name is a <a data-link-type="dfn" href="#legacy-name-alias" id="ref-for-legacy-name-alias">legacy name alias</a> for new-name, <code class="highlight">getComputedStyle<c- p>(</c->el<c- p>).</c->oldName</code> will return the computed style of the <code class="highlight">newName</code> property, and <code class="highlight">el<c- p>.</c->style<c- p>.</c->setPropertyValue<c- p>(</c-><c- u>"old-name"</c-><c- p>,</c-> <c- u>"value"</c-><c- p>)</c-></code> will set the new-name property to <code class="highlight"><c- u>"value"</c-></code>. </div> <dt><dfn class="dfn-paneled" data-dfn-type="dfn" data-export data-lt="legacy shorthand" id="legacy-shorthand">legacy shorthands</dfn> <dd> When the old property has a distinct syntax from the new property, the two names are aliased using the <a data-link-type="dfn" href="#shorthand-property" id="ref-for-shorthand-property⑨">shorthand</a> mechanism. These shorthands are defined to be <a data-link-type="dfn" href="#legacy-shorthand" id="ref-for-legacy-shorthand">legacy shorthands</a>, and their use is deprecated. They otherwise behave exactly as regular shorthands, except that the CSSOM will not use them when serializing declarations. <a data-link-type="biblio" href="#biblio-cssom">[CSSOM]</a> <div class="example" id="example-c7a1887e"> <a class="self-link" href="#example-c7a1887e"></a> For example, the <a class="property css" data-link-type="property">page-break-*</a> properties are <a data-link-type="dfn" href="#legacy-shorthand" id="ref-for-legacy-shorthand①">legacy shorthands</a> for the break-* properties (see <a href="https://drafts.csswg.org/css-break-3/#page-break-properties"><cite>CSS Fragmentation 3</cite> § 3.4 Page Break Aliases: the page-break-before, page-break-after, and page-break-inside properties</a>). Setting <a class="css" data-link-type="propdesc" href="https://drafts.csswg.org/css2/#propdef-page-break-before" id="ref-for-propdef-page-break-before">page-break-before: always</a> expands to <a class="css" data-link-type="propdesc" href="https://drafts.csswg.org/css-break-3/#propdef-break-before" id="ref-for-propdef-break-before">break-before: page</a> at parse time, like other shorthands do. Similarly, if break-before: page is set, calling <code class="highlight">getComputedStyle<c- p>(</c->el<c- p>).</c->pageBreakBefore</code> will return <code class="highlight"><c- u>"always"</c-></code>. However, when serializing a style block (see <a href="https://drafts.csswg.org/cssom-1/#serializing-css-values"><cite>CSSOM 1</cite> § 6.7.2 Serializing CSS Values</a>), the page-break-before property will never be chosen as the shorthand to serialize to, regardless of whether it or break-before was specified; instead, break-before will always be chosen. </div> </dl> <h3 class="heading settled caniuse-paneled" data-level="3.2" id="all-shorthand">3.2.

For example, a user agent may only be able to render borders with integer pixel widths and may therefore have to approximate the <a data-link-type="dfn" href="#used-value" id="ref-for-used-value⑨">used</a> width. Also, the font size of an element may need adjustment based on the availability of fonts or the value of the <a class="property css" data-link-type="property" href="https://drafts.csswg.org/css-fonts-5/#propdef-font-size-adjust" id="ref-for-propdef-font-size-adjust">font-size-adjust</a> property. The <dfn class="dfn-paneled" data-dfn-type="dfn" data-export data-local-lt="actual" id="actual-value">actual value</dfn> is the used value after any such adjustments have been made. Note: By probing the actual values of elements, much can be learned about how the document is laid out. However, not all information is recorded in the actual values. For example, the actual value of the <a class="property css" data-link-type="property" href="https://drafts.csswg.org/css2/#propdef-page-break-after" id="ref-for-propdef-page-break-after">page-break-after</a> property does not reflect whether there is a page break or not after the element. Similarly, the actual value of <a class="property css" data-link-type="property" href="https://drafts.csswg.org/css-break-3/#propdef-orphans" id="ref-for-propdef-orphans">orphans</a> does not reflect how many orphan lines there is in a certain element.

Per-Fragment Value Processing<a class="self-link" href="#fragments"></a></h3> Certain CSS features can interfere with value processing on a per-fragment basis. See for example <a href="https://drafts.csswg.org/css-pseudo-4/#first-line-inheritance"><cite>CSS Pseudo-Elements 4</cite> § 2.1.3 Inheritance and the ::first-line Pseudo-element</a> which alters inheritance for fragments within the <a class="css" data-link-type="maybe" href="https://drafts.csswg.org/css-pseudo-4/#selectordef-first-line" id="ref-for-selectordef-first-line">::first-line</a> pseudo-element.

A user agent’s default style sheet should present the elements of the document language in ways that satisfy general presentation expectations for the document language (e.g., for visual browsers, the EM element in HTML is presented using an italic font). See e.g. the <a href="https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/rendering.html#the-css-user-agent-style-sheet-and-presentational-hints">HTML user agent style sheet</a>. <a data-link-type="biblio" href="#biblio-html">[HTML]</a> </dl> Extensions to CSS define the following additional <a data-link-type="dfn" href="#origin" id="ref-for-origin⑨">origins</a>: <dl> <dt><dfn class="dfn-paneled" data-dfn-type="dfn" data-export id="cascade-origin-animation">Animation Origin</dfn> <dd> CSS Animations <a data-link-type="biblio" href="#biblio-css-animations-1">[css-animations-1]</a> generate “virtual” rules representing their effects when running. <dt><dfn data-dfn-type="dfn" data-export id="cascade-origin-transition">Transition Origin<a class="self-link" href="#cascade-origin-transition"></a></dfn> <dd> Like CSS Animations, CSS Transitions <a data-link-type="biblio" href="#biblio-css-transitions-1">[css-transitions-1]</a> generate “virtual” rules representing their effects when running. </dl> <h3 class="heading settled" data-level="6.3" id="importance">6.3. Important Declarations: the !important annotation<a class="self-link" href="#importance"></a></h3> CSS attempts to create a balance of power between author and user style sheets. By default, rules in an author’s style sheet override those in a user’s style sheet, which override those in the user-agent’s default style sheet. To balance this, a <a data-link-type="dfn" href="https://drafts.csswg.org/css-syntax-3/#declaration" id="ref-for-declaration⑤">declaration</a> can be marked <a data-link-type="dfn" href="#important" id="ref-for-important①⓪">important</a>, which increases its weight in the cascade and inverts the order of precedence. A <a data-link-type="dfn" href="https://drafts.csswg.org/css-syntax-3/#declaration" id="ref-for-declaration⑥">declaration</a> is <dfn class="dfn-paneled" data-dfn-type="dfn" data-export data-local-lt="importance" id="important">important</dfn> if it has a !important annotation as defined by <a data-link-type="biblio" href="#biblio-css-syntax-3">[css-syntax-3]</a>, i.e. if the last two (non-whitespace, non-comment) tokens in its value are the delimiter token ! followed by the identifier token important. All other declarations are <dfn class="dfn-paneled" data-dfn-type="dfn" data-noexport id="normal">normal</dfn> (non-<a data-link-type="dfn" href="#important" id="ref-for-important①①">important</a>). <div class="example" id="example-813b5c64"> <a class="self-link" href="#example-813b5c64"></a> <pre class="lang-css highlight"><c- p>[</c->hidden<c- p>]</c-> <c- p>{</c-> <c- k>display</c-><c- p>:</c-> none !important<c- p>;</c-> <c- p>}</c-></pre> </div> An <a data-link-type="dfn" href="#important" id="ref-for-important①②">important</a> declaration takes precedence over a <a data-link-type="dfn" href="#normal" id="ref-for-normal⑧">normal</a> declaration. Author and user style sheets may contain important declarations, with <a data-link-type="dfn" href="#cascade-origin-user" id="ref-for-cascade-origin-user②">user-origin</a> important declarations overriding <a data-link-type="dfn" href="#cascade-origin-author" id="ref-for-cascade-origin-author②">author-origin</a> important declarations. This CSS feature improves accessibility of documents by giving users with special requirements (large fonts, color combinations, etc.) control over presentation. <a data-link-type="dfn" href="#important" id="ref-for-important①⑥">Important</a> declarations from all origins take precedence over animations. This allows authors to override animated values in important cases. (Animated values normally override all other rules.) <a data-link-type="biblio" href="#biblio-css-animations-1">[css-animations-1]</a> <a data-link-type="dfn" href="#cascade-origin-ua" id="ref-for-cascade-origin-ua②">User-agent style sheets</a> may also contain <a data-link-type="dfn" href="#important" id="ref-for-important①⑦">important</a> declarations.

The declaration in the second rule will also win due to being marked !important. However, the third declaration in the user’s style sheet is not !important and will therefore lose to the second rule in the author’s style sheet (which happens to set style on a <a data-link-type="dfn" href="#shorthand-property" id="ref-for-shorthand-property①①">shorthand</a> property). Also, the third author rule will lose to the second author rule since the second declaration is !important. This shows that !important declarations have a function also within author style sheets. <pre class="lang-css highlight"><c- c>/* From the user’s style sheet */</c-> p <c- p>{</c-> <c- k>text-indent</c-><c- p>:</c-> <c- m>1</c-><c- k>em</c-> !important <c- p>}</c-> p <c- p>{</c-> <c- k>font-style</c-><c- p>:</c-> italic !important <c- p>}</c-> p <c- p>{</c-> <c- k>font-size</c-><c- p>:</c-> <c- m>18</c-><c- k>pt</c-> <c- p>}</c-> <c- c>/* From the author’s style sheet */</c-> p <c- p>{</c-> <c- k>text-indent</c-><c- p>:</c-> <c- m>1.5</c-><c- k>em</c-> !important <c- p>}</c-> p <c- p>{</c-> <c- k>font</c-><c- p>:</c-> normal <c- m>12</c-><c- k>pt</c-> sans-serif !important <c- p>}</c-> p <c- p>{</c-> <c- k>font-size</c-><c- p>:</c-> <c- m>24</c-><c- k>pt</c-> <c- p>}</c-> </pre> <table class="data"> <thead> <tr> <th>Property <th>Winning value <tbody> <tr> <th><a class="property css" data-link-type="property" href="https://drafts.csswg.org/css-text-4/#propdef-text-indent" id="ref-for-propdef-text-indent">text-indent</a> <td>1em <tr> <th><a class="property css" data-link-type="property" href="https://drafts.csswg.org/css-fonts-4/#propdef-font-style" id="ref-for-propdef-font-style①">font-style</a> <td><a class="css" data-link-type="maybe" href="https://drafts.csswg.org/css-fonts-4/#valdef-font-style-italic" id="ref-for-valdef-font-style-italic">italic</a> <tr> <th><a class="property css" data-link-type="property" href="https://drafts.csswg.org/css-fonts-4/#propdef-font-size" id="ref-for-propdef-font-size③">font-size</a> <td>12pt <tr> <th><a class="property css" data-link-type="property" href="https://drafts.csswg.org/css-fonts-4/#propdef-font-family" id="ref-for-propdef-font-family①">font-family</a> <td><a class="css" data-link-type="maybe" href="https://drafts.csswg.org/css-fonts-4/#valdef-font-family-sans-serif" id="ref-for-valdef-font-family-sans-serif">sans-serif</a> </table> </div> <h3 class="heading settled" data-level="6.4" id="layering">6.4.

(Thus, when a layer is nested inside of another layer, this concatenates their names.)

The key words “MUST”, “MUST NOT”, “REQUIRED”, “SHALL”, “SHALL NOT”, “SHOULD”, “SHOULD NOT”, “RECOMMENDED”, “MAY”, and “OPTIONAL” in the normative parts of this document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119. However, for readability, these words do not appear in all uppercase letters in this specification.

A renderer is conformant to this specification if, in addition to interpreting the style sheet as defined by the appropriate specifications, it supports all the features defined by this specification by parsing them correctly and rendering the document accordingly. However, the inability of a UA to correctly render a document due to limitations of the device does not make the UA non-conformant. (For example, a UA is not required to render color on a monochrome monitor.) An authoring tool is conformant to this specification if it writes style sheets that are syntactically correct according to the generic CSS grammar and the individual grammars of each feature in this module, and meet all other conformance requirements of style sheets as described in this module. <h3 class="no-ref heading settled" id="w3c-partial"> Partial implementations<a class="self-link" href="#w3c-partial"></a></h3> So that authors can exploit the forward-compatible parsing rules to assign fallback values, CSS renderers must treat as invalid (and <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/conform.html#ignore">ignore as appropriate</a>) any at-rules, properties, property values, keywords, and other syntactic constructs for which they have no usable level of support. In particular, user agents must not selectively ignore unsupported component values and honor supported values in a single multi-value property declaration: if any value is considered invalid (as unsupported values must be), CSS requires that the entire declaration be ignored. <h4 class="heading settled" id="w3c-conform-future-proofing"> Implementations of Unstable and Proprietary Features<a class="self-link" href="#w3c-conform-future-proofing"></a></h4> To avoid clashes with future stable CSS features, the CSSWG recommends <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS/#future-proofing">following best practices</a> for the implementation of <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS/#unstable">unstable</a> features and <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS/#proprietary-extension">proprietary extensions</a> to CSS. <h3 class="no-ref heading settled" id="w3c-testing"> Non-experimental implementations<a class="self-link" href="#w3c-testing"></a></h3> Once a specification reaches the Candidate Recommendation stage, non-experimental implementations are possible, and implementors should release an unprefixed implementation of any CR-level feature they can demonstrate to be correctly implemented according to spec. To establish and maintain the interoperability of CSS across implementations, the CSS Working Group requests that non-experimental CSS renderers submit an implementation report (and, if necessary, the testcases used for that implementation report) to the W3C before releasing an unprefixed implementation of any CSS features. Testcases submitted to W3C are subject to review and correction by the CSS Working Group. Further information on submitting testcases and implementation reports can be found from on the CSS Working Group’s website at <a href="http://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/Test/">http://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/Test/</a>.
