That page is indeed the list of all existing (or under development) CSS properties. > And that section lists things like align-content and box-decoration-break, > which I don't think are CSS properties (?). Both certainly are. If you follow the link from both you end up at their respective modules. ‘align-content’ is currently being implemented (it already is used for things like CSS-Flexbox, CSS-Grid). > So do you know of the best URL for a complete list of CSS properties so I can > refer to it in my book? > > If I use the wiki page at > https://www.w3.org/community/webed/wiki/CSS/Properties (which is organised > quite nicely) instead of the above URL, can I count on that URL persisting > for a long time (my first edition should run about 4 years)? Hmm, that page, as far as I can tell, mostly lists the properties from CSS2. It is a good starting point, but doesn’t cover more recent (important) developments such as the aforementioned CSS-Flexbox and CSS-Grid modules, with quite important as building boxes for layout. Things are constantly moving and 4 years is a *long* time in the world of web development. Not sure what to suggest, I think your first link ( https://www.w3.org/TR/CSS/#properties) is probably the most stable entry point, as it will keep updating to point to the most recent development. An even more complete list is this: https://drafts.csswg.org/indexes/ (but note the draft status). As an alternative, there is the excellent documentation maintained by the people at mozilla.org: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/Reference Good luck with your project.
