CSS GRID

the container properties and the item properties per the css-grid-2 specification — and what each does to the layout

Built as a memo rather than a table: the thing worth hanging it up for reads across the room, with the full reference in smaller type below it.

Three sizes in one archive — from a sheet on the fridge to a poster on the wall.

Properties and values follow the CSS Grid Layout Module Level 2 (W3C CRD, 26 March 2025, w3.org/TR/css-grid-2): the sheet is checked against the Property Index, and the negative-line rule and the fr definition are quoted verbatim. The drawn track proportions are computed from the same fr shares. Checked 2026-08-13.

THE LINES ARE COUNTED FROM BOTH ENDS

Grid lines are counted from both ends: −1 is the end-most explicit line, says the specification verbatim. So grid-column: 1 / −1 stretches an item across the full width without knowing how many tracks the grid has.

The markup does not break because of this: “full width” is written the same in a three-column grid and a twelve-column one — the hero code above would work unchanged.

On the sheet

  • Properties and values follow the CSS Grid Layout Module Level 2 (W3C CRD, 26 March 2025, w3.org/TR/css-grid-2): the sheet is checked against the Property Index, and the negative-line rule and the fr definition are quoted verbatim. The drawn track proportions are computed from the same fr shares. Checked 2026-08-13.
  • Colour carries meaning, but meaning never rests on colour alone — the sheet reads in black and white.
  • Nothing about how it was made: the sheet carries only what the reader needs.

Printing

  • Three sizes in the archive: A4 — 210×297 mm, A3 — 297×420 mm, A2 — 420×594 mm.
  • All text is converted to outlines. No fonts to install, and nothing shifts on another machine.
  • White background and sparing fills — it prints on a home printer without draining the cartridge.
  • Margins of at least 10 mm: a home printer cannot print to the edge.
  • No stroke thinner than 0.3 mm, so nothing disappears in print.

Why the numbers can be trusted. Every countable number here is computed from data rather than typed in, and the sheet must pass 9 independent checks before it is allowed to build — how many items there are, the order they come in, and the claim in the highlighted box itself. If one fails, there is no file.
