The text-box-trim and text-box-edge properties in CSS help developers manage whitespace around text, ensuring spaces are controlled without altering visual layout significantly.
Whitespace, or leading, is essential for readability, but excess leading outside the text leads to unintended spacing issues, complicating layout consistency and design.
By utilizing text-box-trim and text-box-edge, a designer can simplify layout calculations, maintaining visual consistency across elements while minimizing required markup.
Although currently only accessible through feature flags in specific browsers, text-box-trim and text-box-edge promise more predictable spacing in future CSS design.
