Original Source

The inset-block-end CSS property defines the logical block end offset of an element, which maps to a physical inset depending on the element's writing mode, directionality, and text orientation. It corresponds to the {{cssxref("top")}}, {{cssxref("right")}}, {{cssxref("bottom")}}, or {{cssxref("left")}} property depending on the values defined for {{cssxref("writing-mode")}}, {{cssxref("direction")}}, and {{cssxref("text-orientation")}}.

This {{glossary("inset properties", "inset property")}} has no effect on non-positioned elements.
