@isiahmeadows @bramus I was under the impression that these days there more or less is consensus for an inline `if()`/`cond()` function (see the issues I linked to in my first post), so this is exploring a block form. As @bramus pointed out, the closed proposal you point to could refer to other properties etc which is way harder to implement. I did indeed initially propose limiting conditions to comparisons between `var()` references and values, but it seems that a more general form could perhaps be possible (see https://github.com/tabatkins by @tabatkins ). > Edit: also read up on CSS mixins and the surrounding proposals related to that. The other half of this is basically that. I thought I was up to date on these, but it's entirely possible I've missed a few, were there any specific discussions you'd like me to focus on? > @bramus ~~Okay, now that I take a closer look, I think you're right.~~ Edit: If units are allowed in the comparison, one could define `font-size: if(var(--foo) > 2em, 2em, 1.5em)` - would this produce a cycle? No because `em` in `font-size` points to the parent font-size. Otherwise even `font-size: 2em` would be a cycle š > That would immediately also solve the āPartial applicationā issue @LeaVerou [mentions](https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/5624#issuecomment-746339609), as it simply wouldn't be allowed. I don't see how. a) Custom properties can have different values in nested rules. b) Consider e.g. `if(var(--foo) > 5%, ...)` with `var(--foo)` being e.g. `12px`. Percentages are resolved differently in different properties, so the condition could be true in one property and false in another. -- GitHub Notification of comment by LeaVerou Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/5624#issuecomment-751715262 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
