stroke-miterlimit

Works with 'stroke-linejoin: miter' to determine when the sharp points of a corner should be 'clipped' or flattened. If the point gets too long (beyond this limit), it automatically turns into a bevel join.

Quick example

path.sharp-corner {
  stroke-linejoin: miter;
  /* Prevents extremely long, 'stabby' corners from appearing on very sharp angles */
  stroke-miterlimit: 10;
}
