The background image is placed one-third of the way across the page,
and halfway down it, as depicted in Figure 6-42.

Table 6-2 gives a breakdown of keyword and
percentage equivalencies.

top: 10%; bottom: 20%; left: 50%; right: 10%;
min-width: 20em; min-height: 30em;

P.wide {margin-left: -50px; width: auto; margin-right: 10px;
border: 3px solid gray;}

In this case, not only does the paragraph spill beyond the borders of
In order to understand how a useragent determines the heaviness, or weight, of a given font variant,not to mention how weight is inherited, it's easiest to startby talking about the keywords 100 through900. These numberkeywords were defined to map to a relatively common feature of fontdesign in which a font is given nine levels of weight. OpenType, forexample, employs a numeric scale with nine values. If a font hasthese levels built in, then the numbers are mapped directly to thepredefined levels, with 100 as the lightest
