<display-internal>

Some layout models such as table and ruby have a complex internal structure, with several different roles that their children and descendants can fill. This page defines those "internal" display values, which only have meaning within that particular layout mode.

Syntax

Valid <display-internal> values:

• table-row-group
  • : These elements behave like {{HTMLElement("tbody")}} HTML elements.
