<p>Values have the following meanings:</p>
<dl>
<dt>One value
<dd> If only one value is given,
and that value is <span class="css">start</span> or <span class="css">end</span>,
then the keyword is duplicated;
otherwise the second keyword defaults to <span class="css">center</span>.
The resulting value is treated as a two-component value.
<dt>More than one value
<dd>
If the value contains a <span class="css">start</span> or <span class="css">end</span> keyword,
then the shorthand sets <a class="property" data-link-type="propdesc" href="#propdef-background-position-inline" id="ref-for-propdef-background-position-inline-1">background-position-inline</a> and <a class="property" data-link-type="propdesc" href="#propdef-background-position-block" id="ref-for-propdef-background-position-block-1">background-position-block</a> to the specified values.
Otherwise
the shorthand sets <a class="property" data-link-type="propdesc" href="#propdef-background-position-x" id="ref-for-propdef-background-position-x-1">background-position-x</a> and <a class="property" data-link-type="propdesc" href="#propdef-background-position-y" id="ref-for-propdef-background-position-y-1">background-position-y</a> to the specified values.

<p class="issue" id="issue-32661c58"><a class="self-link" href="#issue-32661c58"></a> Here are two proposals for doing this:
the second one is from GCPM, the first one is an attempt to recast it more readably.
The names are terrible, known problem, proposals accepted.
There is a problem with conceiving this as clipping:
if you have dotted borders, you want whole dots always, not parts of dots.
So it should be a drawing limit, not a clip. </p>

<p>These properties split their respective borders into parts along
the border edge. The first part is visible, the second is invisible,
the third part is visible, etc. Parts can be specified with lengths,
percentages, or fractions (expressed by the <span class="css">fr</span> unit, as per <a data-link-type="biblio" href="#biblio-css3grid">[CSS3GRID]</a> or its <a href="https://drafts.csswg.org/css3-grid/">editor’s
edition</a>).
The <span class="css">normal</span> value means
that the border is not split, but shown normally. </p>
<p><a class="property" data-link-type="propdesc" href="#propdef-border-clip" id="ref-for-propdef-border-clip-2">border-clip</a> is a shorthand property for the four individual properties. </p>
<p>If the listed parts are shorter than the border, any remaining
border is split proportionally between the specified fractions. If
there are no fractions, the behavior is as if <span class="css">1fr</span> had been
specified at the end of the list. </p>
<p>If the listed parts are longer than the border, the specified parts
will be shown in full until the end of the border. In this case, all
fractions will be zero. </p>
<p>For horizontal borders, parts are listed from left to right. For
vertical borders, parts are listed from top to bottom. </p>
<p>The exact border parts are determined by laying out the specified border
parts with all fractions initially set to zero. Any remaining border is
split proportionally between the fractions specified. </p>
