<H1>Changes</H1>
<P><em>This appendix is informative, not normative.</em></P>

<P>Below are the changes relative to the first revision of CSS2
(CSS&nbsp;2.1). The changes between the CSS2 specification (see
[[CSS2]]) and CSS&nbsp;2.1 (see [[CSS21]]) can be found in the <a
href="http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/changes.html" >Changes section of
CSS&nbsp;2.1.</a>

<p>This chapter is not a complete list of changes. Minor editorial
changes and most changes to examples are not listed here.</p>


<H2 id=since-20110607>Changes since the Recommendation of 7 June 2011</H2>

  <ul>


   <li id=s.6.2.1 class=change>
    <p><span class=updated>[2011-10-12]</span> In <a
    href="cascade.html#value-def-inherit" >&ldquo;6.2.1 The 'inherit'
    value,&rdquo;</a> change

    <blockquote>
     <p>Each property may also have a cascaded value of 'inherit',
     which means that, for a given element, the property takes
     <del>the same specified value as the property for</del> <ins>as
     specified value the computed value of</ins> the element's parent.

   <li id=s.6.1.1 class=clarification>
    <p><span class=updated>[2011-10-12]</span> In <a
    href="cascade.html#specified-value" >&ldquo;6.1.1 Specified values,&rdquo;</a>
    add this clarification:

    <blockquote>
     <ol>
      <li>If the cascade results in a value use it. <ins>Except that,
      if the value is 'inherit', the specified value is defined in <a
      href="cascade.html#value-def-inherit" >&ldquo;The 'inherit' value&rdquo;</a>
      below</ins>

   <li id=s.8.3.1c class=change>
    <p><span class=updated>[2012-04-04]</span> In <a
    href="box.html#collapsing-margins" >&ldquo;8.3.1 Collapsing
    margins,&rdquo;</a> add a new item as follows:

    <blockquote>
     <p>Adjoining vertical margins collapse, except:
     <ul>
      <li>Margins of the root element's box do not collapse.
      <li>If the top and bottom margins of an element with clearance
      are adjoining, its margins collapse with the adjoining margins
      of following siblings but that resulting margin does not
      collapse with the bottom margin of the parent block.
      <li><ins>If the top margin of a box with non-zero computed
      'min-height' and 'auto' computed 'height' collapses with the
      bottom margin of its last in-flow child, then the child's bottom
      margin does not collapse with the parent's bottom margin.</ins>
     </ul>
    </blockquote>

   <li id=s.10.7 class=clarification>
    <p><span class=updated>[2012-04-11]</span> In <a
    href="visudet.html#min-max-heights" >&ldquo;10.7 Minimum and maximum
    heights: 'min-height' and 'max-height',&rdquo;</a> clarify the note as
    follows:

    <blockquote>
     <p><del>These steps do not affect the real computed values of the
     above properties. The change of used 'height' has no effect on
     margin collapsing except as specifically required by rules for
     'min-height' or 'max-height' in "Collapsing margins"
     (8.3.1).</del>

     <p><ins>These steps do not affect the real computed value of
     'height'. Consequently, for example, they do not affect margin
     collapsing, which depends on the computed value.</ins>
    </blockquote>

    href="box.html#collapsing-margins" >&ldquo;8.3.1 Collapsing
    margins,&rdquo;</a> clarify 7th bullet in the 2nd note:

    <blockquote>
     <p><del>The bottom margin of an in-flow block box with a 'height' of
       'auto' and a 'min-height' of zero collapses with its last in-flow
       block-level child's bottom margin if the box has no bottom
       padding and no bottom border and the child's bottom margin does
       not collapse with a top margin that has clearance.</del>

     <p><ins>The bottom margin of an in-flow block box with a 'height' of
      'auto' collapses with its last in-flow block-level child's bottom
      margin, if:</ins>
     <ul>
      <li><ins>the box has no bottom padding, and</ins>
      <li><ins>the box has no bottom border, and</ins>
      <li><ins>the child's bottom margin neither collapses with a top margin
           that has clearance, nor (if the box's min-height is non-zero)
           with the box's top margin.</ins>
     </ul>

    generation&rdquo;</a> and <a
    href="visuren.html#anonymous-block-level" >&ldquo;9.2.1
    Block-level elements and block boxes&rdquo;</a> as follows:

    <blockquote>
     <p><strong>Controlling box generation</strong>

     <p>The following sections describe the types of boxes that may be
      generated in CSS&nbsp;2.1. A box's type affects, in part, its
      behavior in the visual formatting model. The 'display' property,
      described below, specifies a box's type.

     <p><ins>Certain values of the ''display' property cause an
      element of the source document to generate a <dfn>principal
      box</dfn> that contains descendant boxes and generated content
      and is also the box involved in any positioning scheme. Some
      elements may generate additional boxes in addition to the
      principal box: 'list-item' elements. These additional boxes are
      placed with respect to the principal box.</ins>

     <p><strong>9.2.1 Block-level elements and block boxes</strong>

     <p><del><dfn>Block-level elements</dfn> are those elements of the
      source document that are formatted visually as blocks (e.g.,
      paragraphs). The following values of the 'display' property make
      an element block-level: 'block', 'list-item', and 'table'.</del>

     <p><ins><dfn>Block-level elements</dfn> &ndash; those elements of
      the source document that are formatted visually as blocks (e.g.,
      paragraphs) &ndash; are elements which generate a block-level
      principal box. Values of the 'display' property that make an
      element block-level include: 'block', 'list-item', and
      'table'. <dfn>Block-level boxes</dfn> are boxes that participate
      in a block formatting context.</ins>

     <p><del><dfn>Block-level boxes</dfn> are boxes that participate
      in a block formatting context. Each block-level element
      generates a <dfn>principal block-level box</dfn> that contains
      descendant boxes and generated content and is also the box
      involved in any positioning scheme. Some block-level elements
      may generate additional boxes in addition to the principal box:
      'list-item' elements. These additional boxes are placed with
      respect to the principal box.</del>

     <p><del>Except for table boxes, which are described in a later
      chapter, and replaced elements,</del> <ins>In
      CSS&nbsp;2,</ins> a block-level box is also a block container
      box <ins>unless it is a table box or the principal box of a
      replaced element</ins>. A <dfn >block container box</dfn> either
      contains only block-level boxes or establishes an inline
      formatting context and thus contains only inline-level
      boxes. <ins>An element whose principal box is a block container
      box is a <dfn >block container element.</dfn></ins> Values of
      the 'display' property which make a non-replaced element
      generate a block container include 'block', 'list-item' and
      'inline-block'. Not all block container boxes are block-level
      boxes: non-replaced inline blocks and non-replaced table cells
      are block containers but <ins>are</ins> not block-level
      <del>boxes</del>. Block-level boxes that are also block
      containers are called <dfn>block boxes</dfn>.

     <p>The three terms "block-level box," "block container box," and
      "block box" are sometimes abbreviated as "block" where
      unambiguous.

   <li id=s.17.4b class=clarification>
    <p><span class=updated>[2012-09-19]</span> Modify <a
    href="tables.html#model" >&ldquo;17.4 Tables in the visual
    formatting model&rdquo;</a> as follows:

    <blockquote>
     <p>In both cases, the table generates a principal block
      <ins>container</ins> box called the <dfn>table wrapper box</dfn>
      that contains the table box itself and any caption boxes (in
      document order). The <dfn>table box</dfn> is a block-level box
      that contains the table's internal table boxes. The caption
      boxes are <ins>principal</ins> block-level boxes that retain
      their own content, padding, margin, and border areas, and are
      rendered as normal block boxes inside the table wrapper
      box. Whether the caption boxes are placed before or after the
      table box is decided by the 'caption-side' property, as
      described below.

     <p>The table wrapper box is <del>a 'block' box if the table is
      block-level</del> <ins>block-level for 'display: table'</ins>,
      and <del>an 'inline-block' box if the table is
      inline-level</del> <ins>inline-level for 'display:
      inline-table'</ins>. The table wrapper box establishes a block
      formatting context, and the table box establishes a table
      formatting context. The table box (not the table wrapper box) is
      used when doing baseline vertical alignment for an
      'inline-table'. The width of the table wrapper box is the
      border-edge width of the table box inside it, as described by
      section 17.5.2. Percentages on 'width' and 'height' on the table
      are relative to the table wrapper box's containing block, not
      the table wrapper box itself.

   <li id=s.14.2 class=change>
    <p><span class=updated>[2014-07-16]</span> The background of the
    canvas cannot be taken from an element that is suppressed with
    'display: none'. On the other hand, if the element is merely
    invisible ('visibility: hidden'), its background can still be used
    for the canvas. In other words, if the root element has 'display:
    none', the background of the canvas is undefined. In the case of
    (X)HTML documents, if the root element has 'background:
    transparent' and the &lt;body&gt; element has 'display: none', the
    background of the canvas is likewise undefined. Change the text in
    <a href="colors.html#background" >&ldquo;14.2 The
    background&rdquo;</a> as follows:

    <blockquote>
     <p>[&hellip;] Such backgrounds must also be anchored at the same point
      as they would be if they were painted only for the root element.

     <p><ins>However, if no boxes are generated for the element whose
      background would be used for the background of the canvas, then
      the canvas background is transparent. (in CSS&nbsp;2, that is the
      case when the element or an ancestor has 'display: none'.)</ins>

     <p><ins>Note that, if the element has 'visibility: hidden' but
      not 'display: none', boxes <em>are</em> generated for it and its
      background <em>is</em> used for the canvas.</ins>

    <p><span class=updated>[2015-09-05]</span> Malformed declarations
     are handled differently when the start of the malformed
     declaration conforms to the syntax of an at-rule. In that case,
     parsing resumes not at the next semicolon or at the closing curly
     brace of the enclosing block, but immediately after that
     at-rule. This is expressed by adding the at-rule to the core
     syntax for rulesets, as shown below.

    <p>In <a href="syndata.html#tokenization" >&ldquo;4.1.1
     Tokenization&rdquo;,</a> change the production for ruleset as
     follows:

     paragraph as follows:

     <p>A declaration block starts with a left curly brace ({) and
      ends with the matching right curly brace (}). In between there
      must be a list of zero or more <del>semicolon-separated (;)
      declarations</del> <ins>declarations and at-rules. Declarations
      must end with a semicolon (;) unless they are last in the

    <p>In <a href="syndata.html#parsing-errors" >&ldquo;4.2 Rules for

     declarations as follows:

    <blockquote>
     <ul>
      <li>
       <p><strong>Malformed declarations.</strong> User agents must
	handle unexpected tokens encountered while parsing a
	declaration by reading until the end of the declaration, while
	observing the rules for matching pairs of (), [], {}, "", and
	'', and correctly handling escapes. For example, a malformed
	declaration may be missing a property name, colon (:), or
	property value.

       <p><ins>When the UA expects the start of a declaration or
	at-rule (i.e., an IDENT token or an ATKEYWORD token) but finds
	an unexpected token instead, that token is considered to be
	the first token of a malformed declaration. I.e., the rule for
	malformed declarations, rather than malformed statements is
	used to determine which tokens to ignore in that case.</ins>
