Syntax

/* <length> values */ min-inline-size: 100px; min-inline-size: 5em; min-inline-size: anchor-size(width); /* <percentage> values */ min-inline-size: 10%; /* Keyword values */ min-inline-size: max-content; min-inline-size: min-content; min-inline-size: fit-content; min-inline-size: fit-content(20em); /* Global values */ min-inline-size: inherit; min-inline-size: initial; min-inline-size: revert; min-inline-size: revert-layer; min-inline-size: unset; 

If the writing mode is vertically oriented, the value of min-inline-size relates to the minimum height of the element; otherwise, it relates to the minimum width of the element. A related property is min-block-size, which defines the other dimension of the element.

Values

The min-inline-size property takes the same values as the min-width and min-height properties.
