#CSS tips for understanding and memorizing alignment stuff.
align vs justify: think of an inline flow, where justify keyword of text-align controls the text in an inline direction. And for align think of vertical-align, which controls it over the block axis.
items vs content: an “item” is something that can be controlled by itself, via -self properties. content is a single entity, where you align the whole chunk of things, without a way to override it per item.
@kizu Honestly, some of the worst named feaures of modern CSS. I can never remember these because the context of each label is not self-explanatory.
block-auto-align, inline-auto-align, block-align and inline-align would make much more sense to me. And I bet you can tell from reading those which is which.
Naming; always one of the hardest problems of anything.
