<P><em>This appendix is informative, not normative.</em></P>
<P>Below are the changes relative to the first revision of CSS2
(CSS 2.1). The changes between the CSS2 specification (see
<a href="refs.html#ref-CSS2" rel="biblioentry" class="noxref"><span class="informref">[CSS2]</span></a>) and CSS 2.1 (see <a href="refs.html#ref-CSS21" rel="biblioentry" class="noxref"><span class="informref">[CSS21]</span></a>) can be found in the <a
href="http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/changes.html" >Changes section of
CSS 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><a name="q1">C.1 Changes since the Recommendation of 7 June 2011</a></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" >“6.2.1 The 'inherit'
value,”</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.
</blockquote>
<p>(See <a
href="http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2011Oct/0482.html"
>CSS WG minutes 2011-10-12.</a>)
<li id=s.6.1.1 class=clarification>
<p><span class=updated>[2011-10-12]</span> In <a
href="cascade.html#specified-value" >“6.1.1 Specified values,”</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" >“The 'inherit' value”</a>
below</ins>
</ol>
</blockquote>
<p>(See <a
href="http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2011Oct/0482.html"
>CSS WG minutes 2011-10-12.</a>)
<li id=s.8.3.1c class=change>
<p><span class=updated>[2012-04-04]</span> In <a
href="box.html#collapsing-margins" >“8.3.1 Collapsing
margins,”</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>
<p>(See <a
href="http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2012Apr/0101.html"
>CSS WG minutes 2012-04-04.</a>)
<li id=s.10.7 class=clarification>
<p><span class=updated>[2012-04-11]</span> In <a
href="visudet.html#min-max-heights" >“10.7 Minimum and maximum
heights: 'min-height' and 'max-height',”</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>
<p>(See <a
href="http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2012Apr/0276.html"
>CSS WG minutes 2012-04-11.</a>)
<li id=s.8.3.1d class=clarification>
<p><span class=updated>[2012-04-11]</span> In <a
href="box.html#collapsing-margins" >“8.3.1 Collapsing
margins,”</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>
9927
<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>
</blockquote>
<p>(See <a
href="http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2012Apr/0276.html"
>CSS WG minutes 2012-04-11.</a>)
<li id=s.15.3a class=clarification>
<p><span class=updated>[2012-05-02]</span> In <a
href="fonts.html#font-family-prop" >“15.3 Font family: the 'font-family' property,”</a>
clarify that using the font name “inherit” <em>without</em> quotes is an error:
<blockquote>
<p><del>Font family <em>names</em> that happen to be the same as
a keyword value ('inherit', 'serif', 'sans-serif', 'monospace',
'fantasy', and 'cursive') must be quoted to prevent confusion
with the keywords with the same names. The keywords 'initial' and
'default' are reserved for future use and must also be quoted
when used as font names. UAs must not consider these keywords as
matching the '<family-name>' type.</del>
<p><ins>Unquoted font family <em>names</em> that happen to be the
same as the keyword values 'inherit', 'default' and 'initial' or
the generic font keywords ('serif', 'sans-serif', 'monospace',
'fantasy', and 'cursive') do not match the '<family-name>'
type. These names must be quoted to prevent confusion with the
keywords with the same names. Note that 'font-family: Times,
inherit' is therefore an invalid declaration, because 'inherit'
in that position can neither be a valid keyword nor a valid font
family name.</ins>

<p><strong>Controlling box generation</strong>
<p>The following sections describe the types of boxes that may be
generated in CSS 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> – those elements of
the source document that are formatted visually as blocks (e.g.,
paragraphs) – 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 2.2,</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.

<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.

invisible ('visibility: hidden'), its background can still be used

none', the background of the canvas is undefined. In the case of
(X)HTML documents, if the root element has 'background:
transparent' and the <body> element has 'display: none', the
background of the canvas is likewise undefined. Change the text in
