Definition and Usage
The CSS @container rule is used to define styles
for other elements depending on the container's size or styles.
The style declarations are filtered by a condition and applied to the container if the condition is true. The condition is evaluated when the container size or style value changes.
Tip: In CSS, a container is an element that wraps around other elements to group them together for styling purposes.
