      box-decoration-break

      CSS box-decoration-break property specifies how the background, padding, border, and border-radius of an element should behave when the content is broken across multiple lines or columns. It controls whether these properties should be continuous or fragmented across the line breaks.
      This property will affect the appearance of the following properties:
      • background
      • border
      • border-image
      • box-shadow
      • clip-path
      • margin
      • padding

      Possible Values

      • slice − This is the default value. It means that the padding, border, and background of the element will be rendered as if the content were not broken, resulting in continuous rendering across line breaks.
      • clone − Each box fragment is rendered individually with its defined border, padding, and margin wrapping it. The border-radius, , and box-shadow are applied to each fragment separately. When background-repeat is set to no-repeat, the background picture may repeat for each fragment individually.

      Applies to

      All elements.
