False positive error about text-wrap:balance

[hannob]

The CSS validator will compain about text-wrap:balance:

Property text-wrap doesn't exist : balance 

Spec:
https://www.w3.org/TR/css-text-4/#text-wrap-style

Fixed with the latest PR folded in
Thanks for the report

When will this land in the current available online validator?

[ylafon]

It is already online.

I have just tried to validate a page that includes the text-wrap property and I am still seeing the following error:

Error: CSS: text-wrap: Property text-wrap doesn't exist.

[hannob]

@treb0r That looks like a different error. Can you share which page this is or at least share an example css or html file triggering this?

[treb0r]

The page is here

I think I see what's going on.

The CSS validator has multiple errors about that page, but none about text-wrap:
https://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?uri=https%3A%2F%2Fsuper-yeot-9f3397.netlify.app%2Fnews%2Fnews-01%2F&profile=css3svg&usermedium=all&warning=1&vextwarning=&lang=en

But the HTML validator appears to check the embedded CSS and shows such an error:
https://validator.w3.org/nu/?doc=https%3A%2F%2Fsuper-yeot-9f3397.netlify.app%2Fnews%2Fnews-01%2F

Now the question is: Does the HTML validator contain its own code for CSS validation or is it passing css pieces on to the css validator?

[treb0r]

Thanks, didn't think to check the CSS validator.

VNU embed a version of the CSS Validator, but it has not been upgraded since the recent changes. It will happen soon.
