max-content - CSS: Cascading Style Sheets 编辑

The max-content sizing keyword represents the intrinsic maximum width of the content. For text content this means that the content will not wrap at all even if it causes overflows.

Syntax

/* Used as a length */
width: max-content;
inline-size: max-content;
height: max-content;
block-size: max-content;

/* used in grid tracks */
grid-template-columns: 200px 1fr max-content;

Examples

Using max-content for box sizing

HTML

<div id="container">
  <div class="item">Item</div>
  <div class="item">Item with more text in it which will overflow the fixed width box.</div>
</div>

#container {
  background-color: #8cffa0;
  padding: 10px;
  width: 200px;
}

.item {
  width: max-content;
  background-color: #8ca0ff;
  padding: 5px;
