 |
 | 'Margin-inside' and 'margin-outside' are aliases for 'margin-left' or
 | 'margin-right', depending on the current medium:
 |
 | * in paged media [link], 'margin-inside' sets 'margin-left' for those
 | parts of an element that fall on a right-hand page and 'margin-right'
 | for the parts on a left-hand page. 'Margin-outside' is the reverse

Given

  element {
    margin-left: 1em;
    margin-inside: 0;
  }

  [attribute] {
    margin-outside: 2em;
    margin-right: .5em;
  }

and

  <element attribute="number">
    Contents of 'element'
  </element>

and

  element falls on the left-hand page


1. How wide are the margins?
