using initial in stylesheet

Stevex · 07-19-2018, 12:58 PM

If I use "initial" in a stylesheet, e.g. "text-align: initial;" it's flagged in the editor as an error.

But I think this should be OK? Or am I misunderstanding something??

As far as I recall, initial sets a property to it's default value and was defined in CSS3. If you are editing an epub2, this would not be defined since epub2 uses CSS2.0.1 (again going by memory).
