"" In your case it is exclusive. A value does not occur more then once, like for the 'background' shorthand [2]. Example of valid values are: paint-order: normal; paint-order: stroke; paint-order: stroke fill markers; paint-order: marker fill; and so on. Examples for invalid: paint-order: normal stroke; paint-order: fill fill; paint-order: stroke markers stroke; Greetings, Dirk PS: The brackets for fill || stroke || markers seem to be unnecessary: "" Juxtaposition is stronger than the double ampersand, the double ampersand is stronger than the double bar, and the double bar is stronger than the bar.
