scroll-margin-block

A shorthand that sets both the start and end scroll margins at the same time. It creates a 'snap buffer' in the vertical direction (or whatever the 'block' axis is).

Quick example

h2 {
  /* Adds a 2rem buffer on both the top and bottom when snapping to this header */
  scroll-margin-block: 2rem;
}
