    Introduction

    To specify min height of a view. It prevents the applied value of height becoming larger than the specified value of min-height. The priority of min-height is higher than height but lower than max-height.

    Examples

    Syntax

    /* <length> */
    min-height: 120px;
    min-height: 10em;
    
    /* <percentage> */
    min-height: 75%;

    Values

    <length>

    <length> defines the min-height as an absolute value. Default to 0px.

    <percentage>

    Defines the min-height as a percentage of the containing block's height.

    Formal definition

    PercentagesThe percentage is calculated with respect to the height of the generated box's containing block

    Formal syntax

    Difference with the Web

    mdn:min-height

    1. In Lynx, the priority of max-height is higher than height and min-height. While in Web, max-height overrides height, but min-height overrides max-height.
    2. If max-height is specified smaller than min-height, min-height will be ignored.
    3. auto is not supported, default value is 0px.
    4. max-content, min-content, fit-content, min-content are not supported.
