Keyword Values
Most properties also have values that are described in keywords. You’ll find keywords for each property in the property listing in the CSS Recommendation and throughout this book. Note that a keyword like normal may have different functions depending on the context of the property to which it is applied.
All properties in CSS 2.1 have the keyword inherit that forces the value of the property to be the same as that of the parent element. Most properties inherit by nature, but the inherit keyword is a tool for overriding assigned styles when necessary.
