<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>
<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>

<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

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>

1327
elements and block boxes</strong>
<p><del><dfn>Block-level elements</dfn> are those elements of the

<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>princi
6D67
pal 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,</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>.

"block box" are sometimes abbreviated as "block" where
unambiguous.

their own content, padding, margin, and border areas, and are

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.

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 <body> element has 'display: none', the
background of the canvas is likewise undefined. Change the text in
<a href="colors.html#background" >“14.2 The
background”</a> as follows:
<blockquote>
<p>[…] 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 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>

<li id=s.9.9.1 class=change>
<p><span class=updated>[2015-07-01]</span> An element with
'position: fixed'
<em>always</em> establishes a new stacking context. (This is
different from 'position: absolute', where 'z-index' determines if
the element establishes a stacking context or not.)
<p>Change the definition of 'auto' in <a
href="visuren.html#z-index" >“9.9.1 Specifying the stack
level: the 'z-index' property”</a> as follows:
<blockquote>
<dl>
<dt><strong>auto</strong> <dd>The stack level of the generated
box in the current stacking context is 0. <del>The box does not
establish a new stacking context unless it is the root
element.</del> <ins>[TBD] </ins>
</dl>

<li id=s.4.1.1e class=change>
<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" >“4.1.1
Tokenization”,</a> change the production for ruleset as
follows:
<blockquote>
<pre>
<del>ruleset : selector? '{' S* declaration? [ ';' S* declaration? ]* '}' S*;</del>
<ins>ruleset : selector? '{' S* declaration-list '}' S*;
declaration-list: declaration [ ';' S* declaration-list ]?
| at-rule declaration-list
| /* empty */;</ins></pre>
</blockquote>
<p>In <a href="syndata.html#rule-sets" >“4.1.7 Rule sets,
declaration blocks, and selectors”,</a> change the second
paragraph as follows:
<blockquote>
<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
list.</ins>
<p class=note><ins>Note: CSS level 2 has no at-rules that
may appear inside rule sets, but such at-rules may be defined in
future levels.</ins>
</blockquote>
<p>In <a href="syndata.html#parsing-errors" >“4.2 Rules for
handling parsing errors”,</a> change the rule for malformed
declarations as follows:
