Value |
Meaning |
Yes |
Indicates that the layout engine fully supports this property/element when valid values are used. |
No |
Indicates that the property/element is completely ignored. |
Partial |
Indicates that the property/element is understood, but that not all values are supported. Supported values are implemented correctly. |
Incorrect |
Indicates that the property/element is understood, but that it is not implemented correctly in all cases. |
Experimental |
Indicates that the property/element is understood, but supported under an alternate name. May be incomplete or buggy. |
Dropped |
Indicates that the property/element is no longer supported. |
Nightly build |
Indicates that the property/element is supported to some extent in an experimental/nightly build. Future support is expected. |
