Abstract: This module contains the features of CSS relating to the borders and decorations of boxes on the page.
Ignored Terms: total width
Warning: Not Ready
</pre>
<pre class="link-defaults">
spec:css-text-4; type:value; text:collapse
spec:css-shapes-2; type:function; text:path()
spec:css-shapes-2; type:property; text:shape-inside
</pre>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" />
<h2 id="intro">
Introduction</h2>
<p class="issue">
This module is currently maintained as a diff against
the parts related to borders and box decorations of
CSS Backgrounds and Borders Module Level 3 [[CSS3BG]].
We will fold in the text once it’s all formatted up and in CR again,
as this will reduce the effort of keeping them in sync
(source diffs will be accurate in reflecting the differences).
<h2 id="borders">
Borders</h2>
<p>The border can either be a predefined style (solid line, double
line, dotted line, pseudo-3D border, etc.) or it can be an image. In
the former case, various properties define the style ('border-style'),
color ('border-color'), and thickness ('border-width') of the border.
<h3 id="border-color" oldids="the-border-color">
Line Colors: the 'border-color' properties</h3>
<pre class="propdef">
Name: border-top-color, border-right-color, border-bottom-color, border-left-color, border-block-start-color, border-block-end-color, border-inline-start-color, border-inline-end-color
Value: <<color>> | <<image-1D>>
Initial: currentcolor
Applies to: all elements except [=ruby base containers=] and [=ruby annotation containers=]
Inherited: no
Logical property group: border-color
Percentages: N/A
Computed Value: the computed color and/or a one-dimensional image function
Animation type: see prose
</pre>
<pre class="propdef shorthand">
Name: border-color
Value: [ <<color>> | <<image-1D>> ]{1,4}
</pre>
These properties set the foreground color of the border specified
by the 'border-style' properties.
The stripes defined by <<image-1D>> follow the shape of the border
on the side to which they apply,
and are drawn in bands starting from the [=padding edge=] and progressing outwards.
The border width at each point
defines the |total width| of the stripes at that point.
<div class="example">
Using multiple colors for each side:
<pre class=lang-css>
.foo {
border: 30px solid;
border-color: stripes(<span class="swatch" tabIndex="0" style="--color: dodgerblue"></span>dodgerblue, <span class="swatch" tabIndex="0" style="--color: skyblue"></span>skyblue) stripes(<span class="swatch" tabIndex="0" style="--color: yellow"></span>yellow, <span class="swatch" tabIndex="0" style="--color: gold"></span>gold) stripes(<span class="swatch" tabIndex="0" style="--color: lightgreen"></span>lightgreen, <span class="swatch" tabIndex="0" style="--color: limegreen"></span>limegreen) stripes(<span class="swatch" tabIndex="0" style="--color: indianred"></span>indianred, <span class="swatch" tabIndex="0" style="--color: orange"></span>orange);
}
</pre>
Sample rendering:
<img src="images/multicolor-border.png" alt="">
The same border colors with ''border-style: dotted'':
<img src="images/multicolor-border-dotted.png" alt="">
</div>
'border-color' is a shorthand for the four 'border-*-color' properties.
The four values set the top, right, bottom and left border, respectively.
A missing left is the same as right,
a missing bottom is the same as top,
and a missing right is also the same as top.
This is resolved individually for each list item.
The [=flow-relative=] properties
'border-block-start-color',
'border-block-end-color',
'border-inline-start-color',
and 'border-inline-end-color'
correspond to the [=physical=] properties
'border-top-color',
'border-bottom-color',
'border-left-color',
and 'border-right-color'.
The mapping depends on the element’s 'writing-mode', 'direction', and 'text-orientation'.
<pre class="propdef shorthand">
Name: border-block-color, border-inline-color
Value: <<'border-top-color'>>{1,2}
</pre>
These two <a>shorthand properties</a> set the
'border-block-start-color' & 'border-block-end-color'
and
'border-inline-start-color' & 'border-inline-end-color',
respectively.
The first value represents the <a>start</a> side color,
and the second value represents the <a>end</a> side color.
If only one value is given,
it applies to both the <a>start</a> and <a>end</a> sides.

<h3 id=corner-shaping>
Corner Shaping</h3>
By default, non-zero border-radii define a quarter-ellipse that rounds the affected corners.
However in some cases, other corner shapes are desired.
The 'corner-shape' property group specifies a reinterpretation of the radii to define other corner shapes.
The different shapes applicable to 'corner-shape' can be expressed as different parameters to a superellipse.
A superellipse is a closed curve resembling an ellipse, and based on its `k` parameter can express all the shapes between a square, an ellipse, and a notch.
To allow full expression as well as interpolation, the 'corner-shape' properties can provide its own superellipse parameter using the 'superellipse()' function,
or use one of the supplied keywords which represent commonly used parameters. See the <<corner-shape-value>> definition for details.
<h4 id=corner-shape-rendering>
Rendering 'corner-shape'</h4>
'corner-shape' works alongside 'border-radius', and does not have any visual effect with a 'border-radius' of 0.
It acts as an alteration on top of the default round 'border-radius', and thus can be used as progressive enhancement.
Like 'border-radius', 'corner-shape' clips elements according to the [=overflow=] rules, and applies to the rendering of the border.
Since stroking a superellipse accurately may be computationally intensive, user agents may approximate the path using bezier curves,
as well as account for sharp edges and overlaps.
Issue: 'border-radius' already handles *adjacent* corners overlapping by shrinking the radiuses proportionally.
A negative ''superellipse()'' parameter allows for *opposite* corners to sometimes overlap, and needs additional restrictions defined.
Issue <a href="https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/11610">#11610</a>: check if we need additional rendering restrictions.

The <dfn>superellipse( <<number>> | infinity )</dfn> function describes the curvature of the corner.
It accepts a <dfn>superellipse exponent</dfn>, which defines the curvature of the corner, or the exponent of the formula.
The [=superellipse exponent=] accepts values between 0 (a straight concave angle) and <css>infinity</css> (a straight convex angle),
with the values in between representing the curvatures in between.
The ''superellipse()'' formula can be described in cartesian coordinates, as follows,
where <code>a</code> is the horizontal ''border-radius''
<code>b</code> is the vertical ''border-radius'', and <code>k</code> is the [=superellipse exponent=]:

<h4 id=corner-shape-interpolation>
Interpolating corner shapes</h4>
Since a <<corner-shape-value>> can always be expressed by a ''superellipse()'' with an [=superellipse exponent=] variable, interpolating between two
<<corner-shape-value>>s is done by interpolating the [=superellipse exponent=] itself.
Since it's an exponent, interpolating it linearly would result in an effect where concave corners interpolate at a much higher velocity than convex corners.
To balance that, the <dfn>superellipse interpolation</dfn> formula describes how a [=superellipse exponent=] is converted to a value between 0 and 1, and vice versa:
<div algorithm="superellipse-exponent-to-interpolation-value">
To interpolate a <<number [0,∞]>> |exponent| to an interpolation value between 0 and 1:
1. If |exponent| is 0, return 0.
1. If |exponent| is ∞, return 1.
1. Return <code>1/(2^(1/|exponent|))</code>.
To convert a <<number [0,1]>> |interpolationValue| back to a [=superellipse exponent=]:
1. If |interpolationValue| is 0, return 0.
1. If |interpolationValue| is 1, return ∞.
1. Return <code>ln(0.5)/ln(|interpolationValue|)</code>.

So it should be a drawing limit, not a clip.

<p>'border-clip' is a shorthand property for the four individual properties.
<p>If the listed parts are shorter than the border, any remaining

flexible lengths will be zero.
<p>For horizontal borders, parts are listed from left to right. For

Drop Shadows</h2>
<h3 id="box-shadow-color">
Coloring shadows: the 'box-shadow-color' property</h3>
<pre class="propdef">
Name: box-shadow-color
Value: <<color>>#
Initial: currentcolor
Applies to: all elements
Inherited: no
Percentages: N/A
Computed value: list, each item a computed color
Animation type: by computed value
</pre>
<p>The 'box-shadow-color' property defines one or more drop shadow colors.
The property accepts a comma-separated list of shadow colors.
<p>See the section [[css-backgrounds-3#shadow-layers|“Layering, Layout, and
Other Details”]] for how 'box-shadow-color' interacts with other
comma-separated drop shadow properties to form each drop shadow
layer.
<h3 id="box-shadow-offset">
Offsetting shadows: the 'box-shadow-offset' property</h3>
<pre class="propdef">
Name: box-shadow-offset
Value: [ none | <<length>>{2} ]#
Initial: none
Applies to: all elements
Inherited: no
Percentages: N/A
Computed value: list, each item either ''box-shadow-offset/none'' or a pair of offsets
(horizontal and vertical) from the element‘s box
Animation type: by computed value,
treating ''box-shadow-offset/none'' as ''0 0''
when interpolated with non-''box-shadow-offset/none'' values.
</pre>
<p>The 'box-shadow-offset' property defines one or more drop shadow offsets.
The property accepts a comma-separated list.
Each item in that list can either be the ''box-shadow-offset/none'' value,
which indicates no shadow, or a pair of horizontal and vertical offsets,
where both values are described as <<length>> values.
<dl dfn-type=value dfn-for=box-shadow-offset>
<dt><dfn id="shadow-offset-none">none</dfn>
<dd>
The shadow will not be rendered.
The values of other box shadow properties corresponding to this shadow have no effect.
<dt><dfn id="shadow-offset-x">1st <<length>></dfn>
<dd>
Specifies the <dfn>horizontal offset</dfn> of the shadow.
A positive value draws a shadow that is offset to the right of the box,
a negative length to the left.
<dt><dfn id="shadow-offset-y">2nd <<length>></dfn>
<dd>
Specifies the <dfn>vertical offset</dfn> of the shadow.
A positive value offsets the shadow down, a negative one up.
</dl>

<h3 id="box-shadow-blur">
Blurring shadows: the 'box-shadow-blur' property</h3>
<pre class="propdef">
Name: box-shadow-blur
Value: <<length [0,∞]>>#
Initial: 0
Applies to: all elements
Inherited: no
Percentages: N/A
Computed value: list, each item a <<length>>
Animation type: by computed value
</pre>
<p>The 'box-shadow-blur' property defines one or more blur radii for drop shadows.
The property accepts a comma-separated list of <<length>> values.
<p>Negative values are invalid.
If the blur value is zero, the shadow’s edge is sharp.
Otherwise, the larger the value, the more the shadow’s edge is blurred.
See [[css-backgrounds-3#shadow-blur|Shadow Blurring]], below.

Value: <<length>>#
Initial: 0
Applies to: all elements
Inherited: no
Percentages: N/A
Computed value: list, each item a <<length>>
Animation type: by computed value
</pre>
<p>The 'box-shadow-spread' property defines one or more spread distances for drop shadows.
The property accepts a comma-separated list of <<length>> values.
<p>Positive values cause the shadow to expand in all directions by the specified radius.
Negative values cause the shadow to contract.
See [[css-backgrounds-3#shadow-shape|Shadow Shape]], below.
<p class="note">Note that for inner shadows,
expanding the shadow (creating more shadow area)
means contracting the shadow’s perimeter shape.
