CSS inset-block-end Property
The inset-block-end property in CSS is known for defining the logical block and offset of an element which gets mapped to a physical inset on the basis of the writing mode, text orientation, and the directionality of the element.
This property corresponds to the right, top, left, or bottom property which depends on the values defined for the text orientation, direction, and writing mode. This property takes up the same values as the left property.
Syntax
inset-block-end: length | percentage | auto | inherit | initial | unset;

In this example, we are using the inset-block-end property for designing our text in different positions inside the container using different values. Here, we have given the values as 20px 50px. So, our text gets positioned accordingly inside the container.

Conclusion
This property is applicable to the positioned elements. It is not an inherited property. The percentage value refers to the logical height of the containing block. The computed value for this property is the same as box offsets except for the directions.
