How does min-content differs from max-content?
Hello
, from what I
've read and understood
,
min-content
min-content
is used to make text wrapped so there isn
't any overflow while
max-content
max-content
doesn
't make text wrapped and can cause overflow
.
Can someone confirm if that
's correct and if there is more to that please
. I often see people use it with
width
width
property
,
min and max-content
min and max-content
are only used with
width
width
?
Is it only used to text or for containers also
, like
div
div
?
