Description  

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

It relates to margin-block-start, margin-inline-start, and margin-inline-end, which define the other margins of the element.

Browser Compatibility  

[1] Available since Gecko 38, but behind the preference layout.css.vertical-text.enabled, then disabled by default.
